> React is the worst thing to happen to the Javascript ecosystem. The idea is good, but the execution is just piss poor. I mean look at Vue and Svelte, they managed to do it right.
As a previously big React dev I agree 100%. If anyone feels this way please spend some time on doing Sveltekit project (e.g. rewrite a personal React project).
Also in the US (probably due to lack of training and the customer too embarrassed to complaining) tend not to fill it the brim (and so not even 16''). I've seen 2-3 inch heads and asked them to top it up. They look at me as if I've just insulted George Washington.
I still struggle with the fact that I was (or delusional) an effective C programmer "back in the day" (before google etc) and all we had was "man" to look up std/x11 system calls.
Now I am dismayed with juniors who can't even be bothered to use google (or llms) to look up stuff on their first hiccup.
Wouldn't tree-shaking take care of this? i.e. If I only use 'Button' (from the UI library), nothing else should be included in the (production) bundle.
Not in practice, because these UI libraries usually have many intertwined interdependencies. <Button /> probably still imports all of the context providers, which also import their own dependencies, etc. So you end up including half of the library if not more just for a button, but if you use multiple components from the library the cost is amortised.
And typically if you're just using a single component it's one that is more complex than a button, like a popover or colour picker. Which then pulls in other components, etc.
Thank you. I tried that. Having the interface run under Xwayland caused a ton of problems with my monitors. I also don't use a lot of QT apps so not being able to paste was a problem.
I believe what you're saying is the benefit of Bitcoin (or other crypto) to get around gatekeepers.
I don't believe Patreon at this time supports any crypto. If they wanted they could open this up. Not sure if Apple would allow this (on an store app) without their 'slice' of the pie.

It's a breath of fresh air.
