...yes? I didn't think that was that weird! Besides, ya have to take advantage of that free GitHub hosting. ;)
Mostly my ramblings on my projects, a link to wherever I'm blogging these days, and links to some of my internet presences.
Good eye. This whole thing is written in Kotlin/JS. It's using Jetpack Compose for Web as a framework, which is Jetbrain's attempt to making Jetpack Compose run in a browser.
Not really. It's fun but React and Typescript are much better if you're running in a browser than Jetpack Compose for Web and Kotlin/JS.
Fair point, but not every language works everywhere! Kotlin/JS has too strict of a type system to accurately work with JS and Jetpack Compose for Web doesn't include any UI components, so you end up writing CSS anyway. If I've got to deal with dynamic and CSS anyway, I might as well use Typescript and React and at least get the benefit of the rest of the web community using the same tooling.
I'd be much more into Kotlin/JS if I could use it alongside normal Typescript. C'mon Jetbrains, bring back the kotlin-loader for Webpack!
Hmm...well, I did write my own router, which I think is pretty swell. I also took care to make the whole thing easily translatable even though I only know English... Maybe one day, my Vietnamese will be decent and I can self-translate my own website!
