nother -- a wiki software that is written using javascript / typescript, and to be deployed on cloudflare using sst.

The idea came to me after learning about otterwiki; only do this purely using cloudflare infrastructure -- workers, r2 storage, and d1 db engine, all of which are provided by cloudflare.

I registered nother.wiki domain 😬

some good ideas to consider/steal:

• make it work for obsidian users to publish their entire vault (or parts of it?)

React is a legacy javascript framework created at Meta/FB. If Not React, Then What?.

Introduction

A lightweight intro to various concepts in React like the different kinds of hooks, components, reconciliation etc. Every React Concept Explained in 12 Minutes

Next.JS

• Next.js 13 - The Basics - YouTube -- a simple tutorial building a "notes" app using Next.js 13 (beta).

Nitric is a multi-language framework for rapidly building cloud applications that uses infrastructure automation to reduce boilerplate, prevent drift and enable applications to run on any cloud provider – such as AWS, Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure. Nitric streamlines cloud development from local dev iteration through to testing and deployment.

Pretty much all major languages compile[^1] to Javascript .. so this is no longer an exclusive category. This page is an attempt to capture slightly offbeat/interesting languages that do. You may also be intereste din wasm, javascript.

Wasp "Rails-like framework for React, Node.js and Prisma. Build your app in a day and deploy it with a single CLI command."

   

The special syntax of Wasp reminds me of ballerina programming language. See cover letter gpt for code examples.

[^1]: I'll never say "transpile"

Write complete web applications in Python without writing javascript. There are a large class of problems for which this is an excellent solution, without having to dip into the javascript tarpit.

The advantage of something like this over using templates is that you can think of "widgets" vs "templates".

Some frameworks are:

Reflex (formerly known as pynecone). Uses FastAPI + React.

NiceGUI. Uses FastAPI + Vue.js + Quasar, tailwind.

Pydantic/FastUI. Uses React. still early in development.

Gradio -- "Build & Share Delightful Machine Learning Apps"

Observable: Build expressive charts and dashboards with code -- Read the announcement of 2.0 -- Observable 2.0 | Observable. Mike Bostock of the NYT, d3 fame is the founder of observable.
