@ruprict fixed, thanks!

There’s now a lot of Rubyists active and posting on 🦋, including myself.

There’s way more Rubyists posting on bsky.app. I’m https://bsky.app/profile/bradgessler.com over there and there’s a pretty good starter pack of Rubyists at https://bsky.app/start/did:plc:qkn6arplsv2pmw2zredwzqkm/3kw3olx5gf72m

If the WebKit bug at https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265386 is fixed, a door opens that lets people incrementally update HTML pages without JavaScript, by way of HTML streaming and clever use of the declarative shadow DOM.

Works in Chrome and Firefox, but Safari is the last remaining piece that needs to be fixed for this approach to be viable.

@jensimmons if you still take requests, this one would be greatly appreciated.

265386 – Streaming HTML only works in iframe elements. Safari waits to buffer all HTML before rendering.

WebKit Bugzilla

Check it out! I've been working on a new way to build command-line interface apps that work with web services that doesn't require an API, making it dramatically less complicated to deploy CLI apps.

I call it Terminalwire.

Currently I have it working in Rails, but the plan is to roll it out to more frameworks and runtimes.

Right now its in private beta and I'd love to work with folks who want to ship or simplify production CLI apps.

Terminalwire: compressing the complexity of web apps by eliminating the API

@m1foley yeah @davetron5000 check out https://phlex.fun. You can use Ruby to create and manipulate the HTML. Much simpler than parsing an XML file and using Ruby to pick through all that.
Phlex | View components in Ruby

Phlex is a Ruby gem for building stunning server-side rendered object-oriented view components.

@collinsworth I now call them “trips”

@lucian it looks like they shortened a few others, like Python was PY.

Kinda weird. 🤷

@jensimmons on the flip-side, websites that block paste cause all sorts of problems when it comes to using a password manager.

I end up opening my console and running some JS to disable the disabled pastes.
