react2solid is a ReactJS to SolidJS code converter https://github.com/rrjanbiah/react2solid

I have started the development today (after months of thinking & gathering ideas).

Any contribution is welcome. Would prefer contributions in to the code transformer rules; something similar to https://github.com/rrjanbiah/react2solid/blob/main/_transfor...

This would be a great entry to the SolidJS hackathon

FWIW, I have created a tracker under the Open Market Research repo to track such broken hiring and fake job posts https://github.com/OpenMarketResearch/Labs/issues/new?labels...

Here's a quick PoC:

  <link rel="prefetch" href="/actual_validate/email/1d00a5c2648c211befd33f5a8a7cbfab?prefetch=1">

  <script>
   location.href = "/actual_validate/email/1d00a5c2648c211befd33f5a8a7cbfab?js=1";
  </script>
  <noscript>
   <a href="/actual_validate/email/1d00a5c2648c211befd33f5a8a7cbfab?js=0" rel="nofollow" class="btn btn-primary" role="button">Click to confirm your account</a>
  </noscript>

Why the prefetch though? Reason being bots don't open them? If so, this is a really good idea!

[eyelidlessness → obuda]

It’s likely faster for the noscript case.

[obuda → eyelidlessness]

Yeah, I don't know about that. Wouldn't it be that the query strings differentiate the two links?

I assume so, because of an old trick where query strings are used for ad-hoc cache control as in /style.css?1629472765

[eyelidlessness → obuda]

You’re right, I wasn’t paying close enough attention. That’s what I get for reading HN mostly on my phone!

[rrjanbiah → obuda]

Query string is to differentiate the links (to understand which case is getting triggered)

[obuda → rrjanbiah]

OK, but then the prefetch link as it stands is useless, no?

A few days ago, I shared a couple of suggestions for Meili. I'm not sure if you received them. You may DM me at @rrjanbiah

[rrjanbiah]

I'm not from Meili, but I like/care about it. Meili team sent me stickers (to India!) for opening 1 or 2 issues.

Can you please DM me your concerns @rrjanbiah? I'll try to coordinate with the Meili team and sort them out.
