Figured I'd just keep updating showoff.barelyhuman.dev instead of trying to segregate repositories in github accounts for my own sanity.

reminiscing the time where success for what I built was having just 1 user and being okay with it if that user was me

preact-island-plugins has a few quirks that might need a tiny breaking change if I plan to polish it.

Mostly the typescript part which I should've left on the user for the rollup plugin but also because I think I can remove the server + client coupling it currently has.

Here's a toy app using
@preactjs.com
+ signals and
@nitro.build
(to avoid the browser's CORS error)

It's an example on one of the ways you can use signals and how most of the App logic can be changed to just listening to values as compared to dealing with hooks 1/n

posthog.com and
stripe.dev, I like where this is going, old OS interfaces inside a browser.

Do i try something similar for reaper.is?

Fresh 2 has graduated to beta releases - essentially release candidates before a stable release.

Fresh can now act as a Vite plugin, opening the door to HMR, faster boot times, and Cloudflare deployments.

Preact-iso now has it's URL pattern matching logic ported to multiple languages!

You can now preload JS and CSS for your app from Python, Go, PHP or Ruby.
What if client side routers URL pattern matching logic was available in multiple languages?

Non-JS servers could figure out which client route matches for a request and add preload tags to preload assets (CSS, JS, images, icons) instead of just serving the app shell.

In the past year or two, I have built over 19 products, most of which are open source.

There are many more ideas I want to build, so stay tuned!

(I will also open-source all my directories very soon!)

✺ Introducing NLC:

A terminal assistant for natural language commands.

I built NLC to learn about the AI SDK, and I have to admit, Vercel has done an excellent job of making this tool both simple and powerful. I highly recommend it.

This is honestly a great list! Go check it out to learn about web-dev, the platform, ...
I spent hours and hours trawling through the sites of some of the world's best web developers, and despite the horrors I regularly experience in my daily work in Big JavaScript Territory, what I saw left me hopeful:
