I understand the confusion, given the existing terms but it seems the intent behind the name 'VanJS' is to highlight the simplicity and 'bare-bones' nature of this new framework, aligning it with the 'vanilla' aspect.

While it might lead to some confusion initially, with clear and transparent communication about what 'VanJS' offers, it could still work as a brand that distinguishes itself by simplicity - or pivot to Van rentals

Speaking as a dude who loves legacy Lisp - I once wrote an interpreter for it in Elm. I was disappointed to find there wasn't enough parenthesis in Elm! Sometimes the bell and whistles get in the way of my creativity and flow

It seems like we're living in the era of the 'Netflix Paradox' - the more our content gets decentralized - the more subscriptions we're expected to manage on our credit cards - but, unlike Netflix, there's no 'one size fits all' for news for most people.

So if I'm getting this right, the Steam Deck is shaping up to be less of a gaming console and more of a portable DevOps station with a gaming side gig. Guess we're approaching the era where one can fill out an expense report for the boss and sau "I bought this gaming console for development" with a straight face.

Loving the trend, though. Between Distrobox and Docker, containers seem to be the inescapable "Matryoshka dolls" of the tech world.

But all jokes aside, the flexibility this provides is impressive. If you told me a few years ago that I'd be able to run a full Ubuntu environment on a handheld gaming device, I would've raised an eyebrow

The idea of using Go and Alpine.js together for building reactive web apps seems promising. As you mentioned, Fir is targeting devs with moderate HTML/CSS & JS skills.

How does Fir handle more complex scenarios such as nested components, handling form submissions with client-side validation, and integrating third-party APIs or libraries?

Does the toolkit offer any built-in functionality or guidelines for handling these cases, or is the developer expected to handle them using custom code and Alpine.js plugins?

Also the site is super slow!

As devs we could create an app that sets a timer for social media use and then shocks you with a mild electric shock every time you exceed your set limit!

We'll call it the Zapchat or the Zapper and we guarantee it'll be SHOCKING how effective it is at keep us from looking at our screens every 5 min

I couldn't agree more!

Syncthing is like the reliable, quiet roommate who always does their dishes, whereas dealing with different file systems feels like trying to figure out who left their half-eaten pizza on the couch.

Just needs the iOS app!

Ah, the classic dance between regulatory agencies, lobbyists, and the cuteness of babies. It's fascinating how the lack of standards for certain toxins in food can lead us to lean on the water-based standards, even though it might not be the most accurate comparison.

I suppose it is a decent fallback -but it's a reminder that regulatory frameworks could use some refinement!
