rajveermalviya··on Interview with Ton Roosendaal, the man behind Blender (2018) [video]
Not really an interview, but they did answer some community questions on "Blender Today LIVE" 3 months ago.

rajveermalviya··on Ask HN: What GNOME Shell extensions do you use?
On Fedora, one first things I do on a new install:

- flatpak install com.mattjakeman.ExtensionManager

- Disable the fedora's "Background Logo" extension.

- Install the "AppIndicator and KStatusNotifierItem Support" extension.

And that's it. No fancy things. Avoiding the weird way to install a shell extension, the browser extension - which won't work for me because I use Firefox from flatpak.

rajveermalviya··on Fuck Cloud Messaging
Story seems pretty much the same with Web push notifications. You send a json to the temporary url provided by the browser push api.

1. From client get a push url.

2. Pass that to your app server for future use.

3. Send notification json to that url.

4. That url points to the specific browser vendor's Push notification server, and when it recieves a notification from your app server. It relays the message to the client.

And that url is different for different browsers.

Firefox - https://mozilla-push-service.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Chrome - uses FCM

Can't configure a custom push server endpoint, like self hosted server without shipping your own browser.

rajveermalviya··on Golang Desktop App with Webview/Lorca, WASM and Bazel
Oh yes.. I meant, completely in Golang.

And as far I know gioui tries to avoid Cgo where it can.

rajveermalviya··on Golang Desktop App with Webview/Lorca, WASM and Bazel
This is great but there many drawbacks. I tried Qt but needed something native-er.

After much digging got to know about gioui[1] but it also has some issues. Also Flutter[2] seems to be better fit but binding to golang is a little tough.
