Nostr Web Client

svelte is a wholly different experience to working with react.

everything is in neat little boxes and i can mostly apply CSS changes manually compared to constantly begging the LLM to actually understand what i am asking for. a lot less time in the junie sidebar more time actually hand-tinkering with code.

unfortunately i have to work with React for my paid gig, for now, but i'm gonna master this svelte thing because it is very neat, concise and performant. my first exercise will be building a svelte based nostr kind 1 type client

yes, I had the same feeling.

You can use server side rendering and the app is quite performant, unless ofc you try to do too much.

Imo one should load data from a performant API in the SSR, and the go on and display it. JavaScript is a language for displaying stuff, not for heavy computation

I was deep into the React world for almost a decade

These days for many simpler UI projects I roll with Go, Templ, HTMX, and Tailwind
