On: The Elements of APIs (2021)

I like it, but I wonder what TK means. It must be something like a todo, because it's always used to mark incomplete sections. And since the date says 2021, I'm also left wondering when an update could come...

[bobbiechen → kaeruct]

It is a convention from journalism that is similar to TODO: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_come_(publishing)

[DidYaWipe → kaeruct]

A "todo?"

I'd speculate about a little dog, but that'd be "Toto."

One site in this vein that I hope never goes away is https://rpgclassics.com/

I discovered it as a young lad lost when playing some RPGs on emulators in the early 2000s

Thanks everyone for the feedback regarding the issue with readability in light mode. I completely missed it!

Nice, took a while to find the actual now page to see.

You should look into why this is being double-scaped:

Thanks for spotting that. I do have a function to check for HTML escaping to handle things like this but it seems like I might have missed the check for this. I'll add it in soon.

>Nice, took a while to find the actual now page to see.

I'll try and update the page to make that a bit clearer

A link at the end of the post where you link to the source code would do it - that's where I was when I was tilted into action to check it out anyway

On topic: intriguing idea. I may have to have a look at something like this next time I'm procrastinating doing something else haha

Bonus points for linking to all of your research and discovery, that's super helpful - nice one :)

[akashgoswami → corobo]

Noted! I'll add an extra mention of it. I thought I had it covered in the first line of the post but it's probably a good idea to link it again at the end of the post as well

I would highly recommend looking into something like this. I found the whole process really interesting and I used what I learnt on this project in later projects as well.

The customer headshots also look eerily AI generated

It's so obvious, I'm assuming they should have been used as placeholders but someone forgot to replace them.

I liked the preview feature on the website, but shift + z is a horrible shortcut on a German keyboard. Just thought I'd let you know.

[hauken → kaeruct]

Thanks! I’ve had a lot of doubts with the preview feature. Browsers won’t let you reliably use cmd/option for the same effect to preview it, so landed on shift + z. But in the app you can’t use that shortcut because it would trigger every time you write something with capital Z.

Hola querido. The Spanish word for bread is Pan, not Pain. Pain is French :)

[jasonkester → kaeruct]

Moved to France (possible out of shame) so that probably explains it. That’s what my Spanish sounds like these days.

[khazhoux → jasonkester]

If you like good French soup, you should definitely try soup du jour. It's amazing!

At least we know you didn't use ai for the copywriting :)

[kaeruct]

I have a bunch of pet projects on netlify free tier and I could never afford to pay this amount of money. What are some good alternatives that don't have this issue? I've already noticed cloudflare pages mentioned in these comments.

[cowoder → kaeruct]

My pipeline and hosting solutions are:

Static: Github Actions to build and deploy to BunnyCDN

Non-static: selfhosted Dokku on Hetzner

Neither is free, if you're looking for free, Github Pages or Cloudflare for static sites. Free non-static, I'm not sure there are solutions that don't have the same problem Netlify has.

[Gys → cowoder]

Dokku is free (the Pro version is paid but that is really more an enterprise kind of thing).
