Interesting, I see no mention of support for bit precision and hammer distance operator which supposed to be much faster and storage efficient

I understand why that’s impressive. But I don’t feel much. I guess, I was just used to envy how much people can be absorbed by some idea to spend so much time implementing it. Now it feels like a single shotted nice-typography-and-all presentation at work that someone did 10 min before the meeting.

Recently, I've been very motivated to make one niche crafted service after another. For myself, family and friends. But struggled to find a compelling hosting solution for projects that only has and will have only a single user for years. I bought the cheapest mac mini M4 on sale, put it in basement and started working on some cli+daemon to help me automate all things around it. The biggest risk is security, so probably gonna rely a lot on Cloudflare at start.

> It would be very fun to experiment with a future model in which it will use the python AST and take out variable naming out of the equation.

So what if we use AST as a source for the code structure? Also, there are other metadata such as filename (e.g. reducer.js), path (./components), project dependencies (package.json for JavaScript projects), amount of github stars and forks.

I'm building a similar app for measuring UI latencies, but as a desktop app (for regressions checks on CI). Your app seems much more universal and platform-agnostic, really cool idea!

I feel your pain. I'd love to play with Cloud ML and their datasets, but seems we don't have any legal options to do it right now.

If you need a desktop application I'll be happy to discuss all benefits, costs and risks of using React Native for that.

New comment by potomushto in "React Native for OS X"

potomushto — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 13:50:10 +0000

Good point, thank you. Some things look in that weird way only because my (unfinished) implementation. You could use the exact same control as you would use in vanilla Cocoa app, you just need to write a correct wrapper (ViewManager). Most of the current controls are ported from iOS, I certainly should improve some of them. Also, UIExplorer also a ported app, and being not a great example, should be rewritten to achieve more OSX look and feel.

Update. Filled the issue https://github.com/ptmt/react-native-desktop/issues/52

What do you think about ComponentKit, the Facebook's approach to declarative view model similar to React? You don't need js there.

Author here. In most cases, Electron is much better in many ways.

I'm working on the code editor right now, so I'd like to build something small (few megabytes), performant, but allows me to use the whole js ecosystem.

There are also two alternatives: https://apphub.io/ and https://microsoft.github.io/code-push/. Works for me in the real app very well, even in a synchronous mode in some cases.

Is it possible to embed blab? Looks very clean and simple, would be nice to use it as a part of a blog post.

> Celebrate! This is the last time you'll have to wait for Apple review.

This is the great idea! And it works for many. It's easy, though, to get an inconsistent state of the app, where JS bundle would be newer than ObjC part. You should be super careful while npm-installing libs, including react-native itself since most of them consist source code that should be compiled. Maybe it wouldn't be a problem when react-native and most major third-party libraries will be stable

New comment by potomushto in "Atom Editor for Sublime Text Users"

potomushto — Sun, 12 Jul 2015 12:11:36 +0000

I've been using Atom (now Nuclide) for a year. It's reasonably good. I believe in something like `react-native-desktop` based editor. Only JS Threads + UI Native Thread. It's a huge task to implement all these APIs, yes, but I couldn't imagine how fast and responsive Atom would be without Chrome inside.

Interesting, the same Startup Visa program for Italy got the same negative reaction[1]. I wonder which European country has the best conditions to start the new high-risk Internet company? Finland? Poland?

I use a fitness tracker called MIO Fuse - it's a great сontinious Heart Rate Monitor, but Mio has very painful and useless both Android and iOS app. I wish to have access to raw data or integrate it with something like Cardiogram because it's really insightful to see how your heart responds to various events.
