@aral the current trend of having designers in charge of app development has resulted in stuff like "native" desktop apps written in #Electron and #Nodejs, web apps using heavy #RubyOnRails / #React stacks they don't really need, and so on. This is just as bad from an resource efficienty and long term maintenance POV, as trying to tack on visual design after-the-fact is from a #UX POV.

I've made a request, from an end user POV, for the SmallestFederatedWiki to be able to receive new wiki page creation requests via #ActivityPub:

Can anyone with AP dev experience (and ideally familiar with #Nodejs) help explain how this might from a dev POV?

Web development comparison: #SpringBoot (#Java) vs #ExpressJS and #NodeJS (#Javascript): https://www.devamountain.com/post/web-development-comparison-springboot-vs-expressjs/

I looked at the dependencies for the thing that's mentioned in #firefox's need for #nodejs. It's not surprising that while the runtime dependencies are reasonable, the full set of 'dev' dependencies breaks the four-digit marker.

Thanks to @clacke for pointing it out that Evan was referring to this post about the The Rebus Foundation: https://toot.cafe/@baldur/100827194542934265

They are hiring a Node developer to make a reading application with #activitypub support

Looks like you can ping @baldur about the job directly on the fediverse.

apparently #nodejs is looking into reducing the need for node_modules.
Oh, and apparently npm made a thing that automagically downloads, validates and installs things on require() or something?

I now have #TiddlyWiki #NodeJS setup within a #Lubuntu VM in #VirtualBox. All that's left is to assemble some basic guides and backup/live upload scripts so that general-ish users can just start using the powerful personal #wiki (and/or website editor), in lieu of going the more technical route of installing it and setting it all up on their own.

This is a side project of mine that I dub "Explorer", or #ExplorerVM.

@audiodude @emsenn TiddlyDesktop seems to be just a #nodejs browser for the flat file version of TiddlyWiki, not the more expansive `TW with Node`.

The browser might allow for you to access more Node commands, but I don't know enough about Node to figure that stuff out.

For the benefit of less technically savvy thinkers, I'd like to figure out how to make virtual machine images with a lean #Linux distro and #TiddlyWiki #nodejs pre-installed and setup for web publishing. #ideas

[rephrase] A man, who invented node_modules directory, said he was sorry about that.

#nodejs

@tindall Sure. Pretty easy. `pkg install gitlab` in a #HardenedBSD jail. Follow the instructions that are displayed when pkg is finished installing ;)

There's just a couple more things due to #NodeJS and #Ruby stupidity. But not much more.

I have to use redis to store session as a consequence of using 4 instances pm2 cluster. #nodejs

I turn to use pm2 instead forever, which I used for many years. #nodejs

Obviously, #Electron is not very useful if you're already experienced in the #native #development kit of your #platform, but if your main expertise is #nodejs (which is the case for an increasing number of developers #wtf), Electron is quite handy.

I've read so many disparaging things about #nodejs that I'm weirdly proud to not know the first thing about it
