Is understanding Dutch (reading and listening) good enough?

They're not experienced with git, but still use the command-line? Interesting. Or would you think a jj GUI would help them?

2. You must have never written Haskell.

Agreed, but uhtml-ssr looks a bit dated. If you want a html tagged template literal lib with no dependencies, see for example:

implementation: https://github.com/mastrojs/mastro/blob/main/src/core/html.t...

No dependencies. No build step. Just a simple web framework. Implemented in just ~800 lines of TypeScript.

This. Cannot believe it too so long for somebody to finally mention progressive enhancement.

> Backend and UI communication goes through in-process channels, not socket-based IPC

Are they running the frontend and backend in the same process? Sounds a bit dangerous security-wise?

This. "No loading animations" works if you rely on the browser's loading indicators that all users will be familiar with.

@OP, if you're up for a rewrite of the frontend, happy to help you get started with https://mastrojs.github.io

right? or give me GitHub issues before the React rewrite – at least they loaded fast...

What AI is doing to the jobs of programmers feels very familiar to a lot of us frontend developers – because it has happened to us before.

New comment by mb2100 in "Moving away from Tailwind, and learning to structure my CSS"

mb2100 — Mon, 18 May 2026 09:17:13 +0000

Yeah, while you certainly can write semantic HTML with Tailwind, it absolutely doesn't encourage it. It's funny how Tailwind is conceptually going back to inline styles.

But sure, if you have , <Header> and <Button> components etc. instead of using HTML elements <h1>, <header>, <button> etc. directly, then why not stuff the CSS into the components as well? It all depends on whether you prefer to use components, HTML elements or a combination as your favourite abstraction.[0]<p>[0]: <a href="https://mastrojs.github.io/blog/2025-11-27-why-not-just-use-inline-styles-tailwind/" rel="nofollow">https://mastrojs.github.io/blog/2025-11-27-why-not-just-use-...</a></p> </article> <article> <h1>New comment by mb2100 in "Ask HN: What are you working on?
