RE: My thoughts on Svelte - The magical disappearing UI framework
I think neither library nor framework really fit. A library is something you import, that becomes part of your project, but Svelte's main selling point is that it's compiled away and "magically

RE: My thoughts on Svelte - The magical disappearing UI framework
Thanks for the links, Rich talked a bit about svelte-gl in the podcast. I did see svelte-native, but haven't looked into it yet (or nativescript in general), but if it becomes usable in the next few months

RE: How to write software if you're blind
I've seen a few comments saying that vim doesn't work that well with screen readers. But you could probably use a Vim plugin for Emacs so that you can still make use of EmacsSpeak. The other famous Emacs

Yeah blind people don't use a mouse, I didn't even think of that before I read the article I linked to from a blind developer, but of course the mouse is just a device to move the cursor around, a visual

RE: Movim - Federated Open Source social media platform welcomes Tumblr refugees
Maybe not Movim specifically, but there are so many developers and companies behind the decentralization movement now that in my opinion it's safe to say decentralization will take over in a few years.

RE: Steem Observatory is now on Github, Open Source under the MIT license
Thanks for your kind words, and thanks for your review! Grammar and style is an issue, yes. Can I cash in the "not my native language" card here? :) Probably not, silly internet, all that knowledge

RE: Columns for Steem is now on Github, Open Source under the MIT license
Thanks so much! I'll be sure to check out Utopian tonight, would be great to find some new developers (or even better designers, since that is my weakest area) there that want to help improve the app going

RE: Golua - Microsoft open sources Lua 5.3 engine written in Go
Microsoft has been doing a lot of Open Source recently. Bryan Lunduke fears it's part of their "embrace, extend, extinguish" strategy, which boils down to embracing a project, adding proprietary

RE: Open Sourcing my Steem Apps, Columns for Steem & Steem Observatory
It's probably required so that people know who to hold liable. Germany is sadly an extremely bureaucratic country :) But requiring attribution is a good thing anyhow I think, if someone ends up forking

CC0 doesn't work in Germany, we have no concept of public domain here, you are automatically granted an "Urheberrecht" (which roughly translates to right of the creator) when you create something

RE: Carlo - Electron alternative by Google that uses the already installed Google Chrome instance
Maybe you could try a Python to JS compiler like Transcrypt or Pyjs with Electron and co. Been quite a few years since I used Python so I don't know what's popular there right now for cross platfom desktop

Haha, I believe you :) It's like what ZeroNet did, combined Bittorrent with Bitcoin cryptography and created decentralized websites with it which was never the intended use, but since existing technologies

RE: Developing an app for elementary OS 5 Juno with Vala - My first experience and helpful resources
Thanks for your kind words! :) And I wish your son the best of luck, programming isn't for everyone but when he already shows an interest himself that's great, there is always a shortage of new programmers

I'd say Ruby and Lua are slightly easier, but when you start out with programming the language isn't really the problem, it's the basic programming concepts that you find in all programming languages like

RE: Manyverse for Android released, a decentral social network in your pocket
I suggest changing the bot so it doesn't try to parse mentions in Markdown sections marked as code, in this case code surrounded with backticks ;)
