I just finished reading Anne's diary two days ago. In it, she ponders the inevitability of war and the power of nature as a motivational force. It totally moved me. If you haven't read it yet, put it on your list.
jamespetercook··on Ask HN: Is a React Native like approach to desktop apps better than Electron?
There are rumours that Apple is working on “marzipan” which will allow iOS apps to be compiled for the Mac by targeting x86. React native could be coming to the desktop.
jamespetercook··on Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it cool?
This sounds interesting! I think I’m jealous, sounds like you have some real space to explore and craft and that’s where happiness can be found!

jamespetercook··on The average web page is 3MB. How much should we care?
Awesome, thanks mate :)
jamespetercook··on The average web page is 3MB. How much should we care?
I built a web app recently in react, nothing too complicated just basic CRUD stuff, when compiled with webpack ended up being about 4mb. I'm guessing that's because of the libraries I included but I haven't really had time to investigate.

Are there any tools to help with this?

jamespetercook··on RxDB – Local JavaScript-Database
Yeah that worried me but I just presumed all persisted data is at risk of corruption, and the library simply provided some options to help manage it.

Im not really very clued up in this area though. Does the way NeDB saves data (serialised json to plain text files) increase the chances of corruption?

I don't really know how I'd handle a corrupt data file

jamespetercook··on RxDB – Local JavaScript-Database
This looks really great, thanks for sharing! I don't even mind that I've spent time implementing NeDB only to pull it out again, because it looks like this library will save so much time and many headaches

Just today I swapped SQLite out for NeDB in the electron app I'm building.

Does RxDB handle persistence to disk easily?
