New release for Zappy! A library for compressing and encoding json payloads into base64url for efficient transport. Now the resulting string is often smaller than the original json, even though it is base64url encoded. Newest algorithm worked better than I expected!

I needed a console logger to print the original source file and line number of logs when developing a React Native app. So I made a small library with a babel plugin! It also removes these logs completely in production!

I needed this for a larger project and decided to make it public. It's a nifty little library to compress text payloads (mostly json) into a url-safe format. Have at it:

Do you need a small self-contained binary cli utility to observe different directories and run actions (like a bash or batch script) when something changes? I made this! And I'm actually using it in the development of a real life project.

Amazing how much I rely on ChatGPT as a daily assistant. Feels weird doing things without it. It's been unavailable a lot today. It doesn't stop me, but I can feel the bumps that it usually smoothes out.

I retook Go after a year. Let me tell you what I forgot bothers me:
tabs,
forced right dots in fluent interfaces,
forced hanging commas,

On the other hand goroutines and channels are cool. Not surprisingly, I implemented a very similar mechanism for my Java apps in glib.
