Do I understand this correctly, that the main php package repository packagist.org does not allow publishing packages out of mono repos without paying 59€ per month for "Private Packagist"? Why can I only publish packages by connecting a GitHub repository and having them crawl it? O.o

The Bevy Metrics dashboard is now live at metrics.bevy.org!
For each Bevy commit this tracks compile times, binary size, and runs stress tests on standardized, real gaming hardware. These are all graphed to identify historical trends and track down commits that improve or regress the state of Bevy!

typst.app/universe/pac... is awesome for data visualization.
There are quite a few specialized packages that I have not yet found a use for, but find quite impressive like typst.app/universe/pac..., typst.app/universe/pac..., and the aforementioned ribbony.

Every time someone writes a @typst.app package with gorgeous graphics, I start inventing reasons to use it. Currently accepting ideas for Sankey diagrams ✨

Great writeup on why Typst excels at automatic PDF generation and how to get started.
Oicana builds on this with ready-to-use libraries (C#/Node.js/browser) and developer tools to make templating even easier.

The Rust example is using axum (which I love), but generating good Swagger docs for axum services is a bit annoying. It would be awesome to have a simpler way of generating those while staying closer to "normal" axum code.

I am using NestJS for the first time to build the Node.js example project for Oicana. The DI system seemed a bit strange at first, but it's growing on me.
Definitely better than using plain Axios, which is what we did at work last time I was writing Node services ^^

*The examples for the Node.js and Rust integrations are still a work in progress.
In the meantime, we're curious: what other programming languages would you like to see an Oicana integration for? Let us know!

I haven't tried to figure out the limits, but the ECS is completely in memory. So your 100k DB items cannot be too large.

This has been my side project for more than a year now. I am very exited for Typst and think that it deserves a lot more usage in business software.
Give Oicana a try and let me know what you think 😊

Tired of slow, clunky PDF templating with vendor lock-in?
We were too. That's why Oicana is built on the open source typesetter @typst.app.
Get lightning-fast renders of complex, data-driven PDFs in your frontend, backend or anywhere in-between.
