csscrack··on Cryptocurrency in the 2020s
I just wanted to write 'hey, could anyone give a brief overview/current status of the crypto space' but then I realized once again that I might get answers influenced by personal investments (I've got still quite some significant portfolio).

This space is difficult, after the last years there's some stigma and trust-levels towards and within the crypto-community are super low (similar to the porn space) and I decided for myself, this sector is over. Main reason is: distributed DBs are hard, publicly distributed DBs are even harder, there are so little use cases that justify the effort involved (except currency & fund raising).

Maybe I am wrong.

csscrack··on Flutter vs. Other Mobile Development Frameworks: A UI and Performance Experiment
Didn't know about Nativescript. Did you try it already?
csscrack··on Flutter vs. Other Mobile Development Frameworks: A UI and Performance Experiment
Interesting take on mobile dev frameworks but unfort. with some flaws:

- OP compared dev time but he is more experienced in Flutter, not expressive

- Xamarin Forms is included, not sure if anyone really uses it anymore

- Left out new Iconic React which allows 100% same codebase on all platforms

- OP didn't mention that Flutter has no production-ready web version or at least he could have looked into the beta

However, nice that he took the time to give some basic infos.

csscrack··on Vim9: An experimental fork of Vim to explore making Vim script faster and better
While I am reading this I just compare Bram as a maintainer re pace, creativity and ideas before and after Neovim was born.

People who more into that stuff are the Vim9 benchmarks not underwhelming compared to Lua or did I miss something?

csscrack··on Show HN: Tailwind Button Playground
My take on this customization: Once you need more use css-in-js libs like emotion. But maybe you like to elaborate with an example you custom stuff works in Tailwind?

I find Tachyons better than Tailwind. Much shorter class names and a thought-through system which makes it hard to make bad design. Also setup (there's none) is easier than with Tailwind.
