Don’t forget killing of .compact

I wrote .compact to run on a Motorola Droid, which was a 533MHz device with 512Mb of total ram, and a kernel which was very aggressive about freeing up this ram.

My respects to you. I really think websites and software in general need to have efficiency in mind again. Webapps should use as few resources as possible, save people’s time, their money and the planet.

Its not even hard to do. People just always reach for the most complex, overengineered things, instead of stepping back and seeing what you need.

I love component based systems. I love real time and custom user interfaces. That doesn’t mean every site needs to be a big SPA. If you’re a primarily read-only site (blog, wiki, etc), then you shouldn’t be sending huge blobs of JS just for your users to read content. As you add interactivity, you can add more JS, but think about what you’re going to do.

And there are ways around all that. Phoenix LiveView gives you an amazing system for building real time apps that are extremely thin and fast, and SurfaceUI lets you embrace Vue style components, easily

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.

Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.

Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
