damus is too hyped, I'm trying to incentive client decentralization -- but I will try it

wow, it worked wonderfully. https://alphaama.com/ is so stylish.

what kind is it?

I envision a world in which nostr relays will have these kinds of arbitrary crazy restrictions and ban people because of them. it is a wonderful world.

I hereby beg you all to stop doing this weird spam:

what the hell is this

great, if you have a package you're on the right track. now you just have to package that, publish to npm, then use a bundler with custom configurations to glue it together with whatever other stuff you're doing then minimize that into a bundle.min.js file which you can include in your HTML.

oh, right. every time I have to start a new javascript thing I still try to make it without frameworks, but I rapidly realize I have to use some framework to prevent me from doing manual tasks (maybe I took the DRY principle too seriously). the last one was https://github.com/nbd-wtf/satdress

then I read a post about react which had just been launched (and which I initially despised) and I thought it had found a way to solve exactly what I had been trying to solve, then I liked it very much, and it took a while after that moment for the rest of the javascript people to start liking it too, but eventually that happened, and it spun the creation of dozens of other microframeworks all based on the same principle, which I think was quite ingenuous.

that isn't to say I love react today. It is probably very bloated -- but I have tried many other frameworks and it turns out react still feels simpler and better than them all. except for this one: https://dev.to/raquo/my-four-year-quest-for-perfect-scala-js-ui-development-b9a

I used to hate frameworks when I first learned javascript many years ago, and I refused to use jquery, backbone, ember and whatever else existed. but then for some reason I found myself creating a kind of framework for my own use inside my small personal projects all the time. basically I would develop abstractions for handling and updating state, but my pseudo-frameworks always failed miserably because I couldn't get my updated state to be reflected into UI in an abstracted manner, I tried.

and that comes from the guy who has hundreds of npm packages

if you open a github issue anywhere or click to comment on an existing issue you can upload any image there and it will be hosted on github forever, no need to actually submit the issue.

are you using react?

the amount of things https://alphaama.com/ does without the help of any javascript framework amazes me.

"pleb" is a terroble awful.
