Went to a web dev meetup last night. Apparently the answer to overly complicated and fragile tooling is to add more complications and more tooling.

The internet should get a new trend like inventing a guy to be happy about instead of inventing a guy to be mad at.

It'd be neat if JavaScript had a standard API for interacting with its own Abstract Syntax Tree kinda like Python. https://docs.python.org/3/library/ast.html

I want to get my browser to a point where adding new commands for it is easy for casual users and can feel as custom as the terminal.

Switching shells is also something other "apps" can't handle. I install nushell and add a different keybinding to open my terminal and suddenly I have a new paradigm while keeping all my data and most of my commands.

The terminal is the ultimate "Everything" app. It's fun because unlike other apps, customization and user choice is the start. There's no company that owns my PATH, just whatever shit I throw in there and whatever shell I choose sets the tone.

My knees hurt and my ears are ringing. Blissful.

Finally found a local club with the sort of dance music I like. 🤖🤘

The autocomplete in nushell is pretty neat. I also loke how it's different enough from bash that I have more reason to use it compared to zsh that felt like bash with extra steps.

Brb running automated maintenance on my meatware.

10/? Checking the code, there was nothing obvious. Adding a test, it seems to pass same as the SDK tests. It seems the bug might be somewhere in Electron or in Agregore's code. This means I need to start setting debug logs and breakpoints in the browser since my tests are non existent there.

9/? Trying to update the hyper-sdk tests to use drive instead of core isn't yielding the issue either. Maybe something in hypercore-fetch is adding more side effects than just initializing the drive? Gonna switch to hypercore-fetch and try to reproduce there.

8/? This will then invoke the `createKey` function inside hypercore-fetch via the protocol handlers. Setting a breakpoint inside the scratchpad, it seems this function never resolves.

7/? The `showAllSaved` button uses the `hyper://` protocol handlers to resolve the local name `dweb_scratchpad` into a P2P archive URL using await fetch(`hyper://localhost/?key=${name}`, { method: 'POST' });

6/? I open a page I published using the DWeb Scratchpad and then try to open the scratch pad and click "Look at your saved sites", it doesn't open and the request appears to be frozen. If I open the site via the "Look at your saved sites" page before trying to access its `hyper://` URL it works fine.
