@lilo yeah, I tooted a question about preact the other day, and I suspect it's where I'll end up for this project. (Mithril is also an interesting contender, but I'll need to read more about it. Any sense of how it compares with preact?)

Of course, there's also the option to just re-write some of the best #react features in vanilla js if I'm really in the mood for minimalism: https://hackernoon.com/how-i-converted-my-react-app-to-vanillajs-and-whether-or-not-it-was-a-terrible-idea-4b14b1b2faff

@balrogboogie

Interesting. I've been pretty firmly in the vim-plus-plugins camp myself so far. What feature(s) convinced you to switch to an IDE?

Since you were coming from vim, I assume you're using vim keybindings in intelej? How well are those supported?
@jk

I've mostly tried to keep my JavaScript apps to native JavaScript (since I value minimalism and simplicity a lot, and it keeps the page weight down).

But I spent today playing around with #react, and I've got to say that I see the appeal. It's simple, powerful, and does a great job managing UI logic. Pretty impressive

Update: Yep, it was a "Yes". That's pretty good—I didn't know that vlc could play videos as live-rendered ASCII art in the terminal.

…I'm not sure I *needed* to know that, but it sure is fun!

@ohthehugemanatee

Before watching this, I predict that—in defiance of Betteridge's law of headlines—the answer will turn out to be "yes"

@ragamuffinjim @crodges

Thanks, fixed!

(Not an issue with gutenberg, just a user error—I'd neglected to set a needed config value)

@bigzaphod
Well, clearly you just need to follow more folks over here on Mastodon! I think (hope?) it's possible to get to a point where you have a lot to read *and* most of it is interesting rather than enraging. That's where I seem to have landed with Mastodon/#fosstodon, and it's a really nice place to be.

@thomasfuchs

Really, we could tell that just from the transparent case!

The RSS feed for https://www.codesections.com now provides the full text of the articles instead of just a summary, in case that's something you've been missing.

(Thanks @crodges for pointing out that it wasn't before!)

@crodges
Thanks, I'll look into that.

@poetgrant
Yeah, I can *definitely* identify with that feeling. Very introverted myself, which doesn't seem to be uncommon around here. I think I saw someone on #fosstodon with the tag line "antisocial media" in their bio but I can't recall who at the moment.

@SuperFloppies

Haha, yeah. I've never used it myself, but maybe the economics work out better if it's takeout for a family of 4 or something? I'd be easy for the further away place that doesn't deliver to be $6 cheaper on a ~$30 meal

@SuperFloppies
Good luck! #milkQuest2018

@SuperFloppies

Thanks for the clarification. I don't think I misstated your idea in the post (I said it was a "workable ways to impose rate limits [on abusive users]"), but if there's an area you'd like me to edit to clarify, I'd be happy to do so.

Y'all might be interested in the post I just wrote about how we should deal with the problem of groups outside an instance pressuring Mastodon admins into taking actions that the admins don't believe are justified. I discuss the problem and suggest two actionable solutions.
