In my ongoing quest for simple React setups, this article is mind blowingly good: https://kentcdodds.com/blog/super-simple-start-to-react It explains how to set up a react app with just HTML and JS files, no webpack or browserify or anything. It is fully a toy implementation BUT it helped me understand a lot of the "magic" underlying React in a way that I never had before. It even shows how to write JSX embedded in the HTML file (by including Babel in a script tag).

@darius I absolutely shipped non-public-facing code this way when React was first taking off, in order to build a thing that would have been super painful to do in jQuery. The docs used to do a really good job of explaining this as a first-class option! I loved how it could be gently introduced into an existing codebase without having to rewrite everything. Then everybody went and rewrote everything using it.

Does anyone else tense up and hold their breath between when they press the "print" button and when the printer actually starts to print

here's a thing you can do: pepper your code with comments that contain the text "<<<<<<< HEAD" (I did not encounter this in the wild, this is just an idea I had right now)

Having a question about events being actors 'id':`https://${domain}/${eventID}`, I would rather expect "Service" See "The core Actor Types include"

I've been building a Facebook Events style event organizing system for the Fediverse. It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool https://gath.io The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars.

@darius @thisismissem The screencast was really nice. But yeah, maybe I shared that wrong. Try following the event! :)

@darius I used this to plan my daughter’s first and second birthday parties. It was so easy to set up and even easier for the oldies in my life to use. Thank you!

What fool called it "Starlight Express" and not "Andrew Lloyd Webber Said 'Trains Rights'"?

@darius we didn’t suffer enough from this joke the first time you just had to boost it huh
Sumana Harihareswara
@darius Thanks for boosting this today; I had not looked at your RFC rereading project and it's so neat!

The best thing about palindromes is you can always make them longer by adding the word "poop" at the beginning and end

So basically the US used an embargo, with its explicit threat of violence attached (you can't embargo without a military to enforce it), to force abolitionist holdouts to join the United States.
(Rhode Island of course was not a monolith and there were like, antidemocracy people in the mix who didn't want to join the US for their OWN weird reasons.)
