Fediverse @lemmy.world

Is there a counter like this but for Fediverse projects?

I was interested in building something like this.

Web Development @programming.dev
felixrieseberg.com Things people get wrong about Electron

From $25,000 Bloomberg Terminals to SpaceX spaceship controls, web tech is powering systems you'd never expect. Many desktop apps are built with Electron. Why build with web tech — and why bundle parts of Chromium to do so?

As an open source project, our website never had to "convince people" to use Electron, so I never took the time to actually explain why I'm betting on web technologies to build user interfaces or why I prefer bundling a rendering engine.

  • Probably overkill and I agree with you.

    K8 is for scale. Like managing a whole fleet of servers. Even with my devops team, it's quite a lift to suggest it to someone who is getting their feet wet.

  • I did a double take at that $4000 budget as well! Glad I wasn't the only one.

  • Yeah. I talk about the product directly.

    Lemmy. Or Pixelfed. Or Mastodon.

    I talk about the activitypub and decentralization.

    I'm trying to remove Fediverse from the conversation because that's the word that starts to make people confused.

  • Well to be fair, American companies did that too. They expand their services internationally "for free" and then get other countries hooked on it.

    China is just taking a page from that playbook.

  • Explain how good trains will help our precious CEOs?

    Unless you mean a private train line paid with government funds. Now we're talking!
