If you use Sharp to convert images to WebP in Node, perhaps checkout this quick benchmark to compare the time cost and size savings by different efforts: peterbe.com/plog/comparing…

Also, be gentle. It's a rather quick side-project to solve a particular need I had. I combined that "opportunity" to familiarize myself with the Bun toolchain. Bun is absolutely great, but it's not better than Node. It's more complicated and interesting than that.

Introducing hylite peterbe.com/plog/introduci… A Node project, but built using Bun.

for JS nerds interested in the dichotomy of Node vs. Bun, I touch on this in the blog post. To summarize; we *build* things with TypeScript, but *run* things in plain JavaScript.

I dip my toes into running TypeScript files directly. peterbe.com/plog/ts-node-v… tl;dr bun is super fast, esno and esrun are about the same performance as ts-node.

@schalkneethling @TerraMeijar There was this talk in 2015 about not being too anal about coding style, then he goes 200% pythonic and proves that true code “style” matters more than white space and variable names. youtu.be/wf-BqAjZb8M

They recently switched from credits to subscriptions. But I only send about 30 emails per month. And I was glad to find out there's a free tier at 100 emails per month. So now I'm a happy/cheap subscriber.

For the record, postmarkapp.com (It's a service for sending emails for your server) is a great service. Been reliable for years. And a great interface too. Snappy and pretty.

Hey @codesandbox The ability to add dependencies is gone in the new design :( There's no "Add Dependency" button and when you get an error it doesn't suggest to add the missing dependency from the Vite error message.

I've had brief periods where I've daily driven linux (ubuntu/arch) but always given it up I like the idea of being a gigachad linux user, but I'm too lazy I don't care enough about customizing things, I just want a prison cell that works - signed a mbp user 😅

@devongovett Gosh yeah. I miss Django’s urls.py where you get a clear picture of all possible URLs. And since each entry has a name/identifier you don’t have to change links in code when you rearrange the outward-facing URLs.
