GitHub – AnswerDotAI/fasthtml: The fastest way to create an HTML app

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/11

The HTMX based [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – AnswerDotAI/fasthtml: The fastest way to create an HTML app

FastHTML is a new next-generation web framework for fast, scalable web applications with minimal, compact code. It’s designed to be:
  • Powerful and expressive enough to build the most advanced, interactive web apps you can imagine.
  • Fast and lightweight, so you can write less code and get more done.
  • Easy to learn and use, with a simple, intuitive syntax that makes it easy to build complex apps quickly.
FastHTML apps are just Python code, so you can use FastHTML with the full power of the Python language and ecosystem.
Could this be something for me?

Julia Evans (b0rk on Twitter) motivated many people to post their web browser Javascript debugger tip

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/10

There are quite a lot of cool responses to b0rk asking this a while back: [Wayback/Archive] 🔎Julia Evans🔍 on Twitter: “does anyone know of a good demo (blog post / video) of how to use a Javascript debugger in a browser to investigate a bug? I’ve used debuggers in C but never Javascript”

Archived just in case I need to do more web development stuff.

Twitter: getting a tweet video URL

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/09

For my link archive (as I wish this could be part of a Bookmarklet): the --get-url option of youtube-dl gets you the video URL of a Tweet

# youtube-dl --get-url https://twitter.com/Gert_van_Dijk/status/1548997307017871362

What to do when suddenly some or many .nupkg became zero length and Chocolatey thinks none of them are installed?

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/04

So I posted a question at [Wayback/Archive] Need help restoring .nupkg files having zero size · Discussion #2765 · chocolatey/choco which got this answer:

Brush up on your knowledge of the elements with this Chrome Experiment, an interactive Periodic Table by Sarath Saleem: goo-gl/HJ9O31 #fridayfun

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/09/03

[Wayback/Archive] https://plus.google.com/+Chrome/posts/AgtEDd7ngEJ “Brush up on your knowledge of the elements with this Chrome Experiment, an interactive Periodic Table by Sarath Saleem: goo-gl/HJ9O31 #fridayfun”

This reminded me so much about the atom spin tables I wrote some Turbo Pascal code for in the late 1980s to help a university professor. Maybe one day, I will find that code back.

(note: I expanded the actual googl link because Google URL Shortener was killed in 2019 with links stopping to work in 2025, see [Wayback/Archive] Google Graveyard – Killed by Google)

The links:

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/28

For my TODO list: [Wayback/Archive] twitter-to-bsky

Crosspost from Twitter/X to Bluesky and Mastodon

twitter-to-bsky – crosspost from Twitter/X to Bluesky and Mastodon directly in the web browser

twitter-to-bsky is a userscript written for Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey running in desktop web browsers (Chrome/Firefox/Edge).
It allows to automatically crosspost to Bluesky and/or Mastodon when writing posts in the Twitter/X web application in a desktop browser.

Revisited: Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navivate to the canonical link

Posted by jpluimers on 2024/08/27

I put the proper Bookmarklet wrapper around the functions from Bookmarklet for Archive.is to navivate to the canonical link (because especially Firefox needs them):

An immediately invoked function that returns no value or an expression preceded by the void operator will prevent the browser from attempting to parse the result of the evaluation as a snippet of HTML markup:

javascript:(function(){
  //Statements returning a non-undefined type, e.g. assignments
})();

It means they now have become these:

  • Archive.is: navigate canonical URL

    javascript:(function(){location=document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href})();

  • Archive.is: prompt canonical URL

    javascript:(function(){prompt("Anchor",document.querySelector('link[rel="canonical"]')?.href)})();
