cypress-rails VS digital-gardeners

We use Cypress alongside cypress-rails and Cypress Testing Library.

To piggyback: This would be a type of browser test, so you would want to use something like Cypress (https://github.com/testdouble/cypress-rails) or Capybara (https://github.com/teamcapybara/capybara). RSpec has a good integration with Capybara. Cypress is JS-based so it will require some additional config.

Now a very good news : integrating Cypress to Rails is really simple, because there's already a gem for that. Thanks to the amazing work of the teamdouble team. Their corresponding GitHub repository is here.

Some of the links mentioned in the stream: Forem end-to-end docs Cypress documentation Making your UI tests resilient to change by Kent C. Dodds Forem’s use of Cypress in GitHub Cypress Rails Test Automation University

There's already a tool that perfectly handles this kind of test : Cypress. Why not a gem based on Cypress, that would replace entirely the default system tests stack ? So far, I am very happy with this gem : https://github.com/testdouble/cypress-rails/

Digital Gardens are freeform, public collections of ever-evolving personal knowledge, comparable to an "open" PKM system. Maggie Appleton is my go to thinker about them: She's written about them here and here.

some ideas which came into my mind: 1. You can always ask your question in this subreddit. 2. Bob Doto's Zettelkasten class I now open, if you want to learn about the process of taking notes: https://bobdoto.computer/zettelkasten-class (a Digital Garden is a public Zettelkasten in my opnion) 3. Maggie Appleton's github is very helpful for learning about Digital Gardening: https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners

Well, as a fellow nerd with too much time and little qualifications, I offer you my compliments and encouragement! And if you'd ever find the time and the will to return to the website idea, I suggest you look into the concept of digital gardens, which are sort of anti-blogs (non-chronological, incomplete by design, encourage thinking aloud).

The website's theme and philosophy is around digital garden. I've been trying to build one myself and I found this list as a source of inspiration: https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners#digital-...

If you want a comprehensive summary of digital gardening, you can't go wrong with Maggie Appleton's A Brief History & Ethos of the Digital Garden or her repo of resources.

Permanence is my concern with the indie blog hosting services mentioned here (bearblog, prose.sh, nicheless.blog)

Also, because you already have a lot of the content, maybe you don't need a blog? what about a "digital garden" ?

Tools (easy options included) -> https://github.com/MaggieAppleton/digital-gardeners

If you have your content in a note-taking app like obsidian, there is even simple tutorials on how to freely publish it with all those precious "multiple tags per category", all in one go.

and here is a general collection of dope blog additions: https://brainbaking.com/post/2022/04/cool-things-people-do-w...

My overall advice is unless you're a designer flexing your skills is to focus less on the design and more on the actual writing! The internet is littered with the emaciated husks of nice good looking sites hosting nary an entry beyond "How I Made My New Blog With X"
