  • This looks amazing, really appreciate your minimal JavaScript approach. I’ll definitely try it out, could see myself potentially doing pro version in future.

  • Man, that video was a pleasure to watch

  • Very cool idea, I'm going to test this!

    One nit: Forgive me if I'm missing something but why do you have pro components? Won't people vibe-code clones anyway? I'd rather have a donate button these days.

  • I would be mostly curious about CI/CD and build and deployment times on underpowered compute instances

    I could drop the react ecosystem given considerable improvement over it at the deployment part

    Especially since years of experience with frameworks doesnt matter anymore and won’t matter with recruitment soon

  • This might be a silly question, but why 2 views for html and markdown? isn't there a broad base of cases where one can just be inferred from the other?

    Also, I think it's exciting to see so many rust web frameworks popping up but I'm in total decision paralysis. If I want to build something with rust now there are at least 3 complete frameworks: loco, topcoat and now proa... plus actix, rocket, axum, and ...more?

  • So... Multi-target = {chat, web, markdown}; Audience = {human, bot}; USPs = {speed, unified model}

    Since I don't believe the maintenance challenges of a non-unified model are particularly high-friction in the LLM era (even if they may be error-prone, since that is usually solved with CI/CD or TDD), the nominal utility of this angle of architectural enhancement is considered dubious.

    With regard to speed, there is no hardware shortage at present for any of these simple rendering tasks.

    Overall, a nice efficient codebase but suffering a bit from NIH syndrome solving no particularly acute problem. Unless a community forms rapidly, this will probably die.

    I'd like to see the benchmark compared to, eg. static files served with binserve.

  • I've been eyeing this since you posted it yesterday, and I hadn't seen the Pro UI stuff until someone here pointed it out.

    I have to say that $2000 UI components is enough for me to look for something else instead, even with the free tier being so generous today. I understand the desire the earn money from hard work, but that's exactly why I would be wary of the free tier getting smaller and smaller over time, or essentially being abandoned.

    I'm not saying I'd never adopt it. But that Pro UI situation would make me wait years before even considering it. And with AI the way it is, I expect to see a lot of alternatives that are similar soon, and perhaps they meet my needs better, too.

    I was going to wait a while anyhow, but now that wait time will be a lot longer.

  • I was recently scanning for newer, more-batteries-included options and this looks well-scoped at first bluff. Thanks for spreading it, might end up in my next experiment!
