Building a Slack/Discord Alternative with Tauri/Rust
Haha, it's amusing that the history essays are one of the things you remember :)
Yes you can compile Scala and ScalaFX apps down to native binaries this way. Look at Gluon Substrate:
https://github.com/gluonhq/substrate
One of our customers is experimenting with shipping such apps with Conveyor. There's a discussion ongoing here:
https://github.com/hydraulic-software/conveyor/discussions/6...
We got a console hello world working, albeit the DX is a bit rough. You need some ugly config boilerplate and some additional Native Image json files. But, it works, at least enough to create a Mac package with the regular Conveyor feature set. There are some limits though. I think the WebView doesn't work when the app is natively compiled this way.
If it all starts working well it could be quite interesting for desktop app development, as suddenly you could use high level languages and portable UI toolkits but with the sort of startup time, performance and memory usage you'd expect from native apps (modulo binary size which is still quite large). If you want to use HTML as the UI then you can use the Chromium Embedding Framework, which would give you an Electron-like experience but with many more available languages:
https://hydraulic.dev/blog/13-deploying-apps-with-jcef.html
I've been using JVM GUI for years for various tasks. It was appropriate for Bitcoin tasks because it's immune to injection attacks, because you can run everything locally with P2P protocols like the original Bitcoin app did, it's portable etc. Also I learned GUI programming decades ago and find classical UI toolkit concepts like VBox, HBox, StackPane, TableView etc more intuitive than HTML.

GraalVM Native Image — Faster, Smarter, Leaner
I ran into quite a few issues during Android/iOS development (e.g. java.util.prefs and GraalVM pulling in unused methods), but Windows was comparatively smooth. Most of my issues were related to understanding the toolchain,e.g., not knowing how arguments are passed to run.

Question on JavaFX web applications
With JavaFX and Gluon Substrate + GraalVM you can even compile you app to an executable.

How does Gluon's GraalVM based substrate work?
Hello, I've recently stumbled across this project from Gluon and I've been wondering for some days how the project actually works. I've read the source code, but it appears that no code is responsible for implementing the hundreds of classes that make up JavaFX. Does this mean that JavaFX can work out of the box on IOS and Android but there didn't use to be a way to compile the code to a native executable for said platforms? Thanks in advance

Experiences with ZGC on JavaFX?
Don't tested memory difference myself yet but maybe your solution could be to convert to native with graalvm and gluon substrate? https://github.com/gluonhq/substrate

Ask HN: How to deal with constant interruptions at work (with ADHD)
I replaced the Slack client with wee-slack [https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack]. It brings a much more "zen" experience to using Slack and better compliments my keyboard-centric desktop/workflow (e.g. clear all unread channel notifications? keybind! Jump between all the high priority/@mentioned notifications? keybind!) It also helps if you're expected to be available via Slack, since it can keep you showing "green" while you've actually been ignoring it.

Building a Slack/Discord Alternative with Tauri/Rust
Fwiw, last time I looked, wee-slack was a decent improvement for slack text chat. These days maybe a matrix bridge?

Ask HN: Is it still possible to live in a terminal?
> - My company uses Slack's enterprise auth, and all the CLI slack clients I could find haven't been updated in years and no longer work.
https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack is decent.
> - The web is using more javascript than in the past.
cli browsers are probably the only truly unrealistic thing. An idea that I've been kicking around for a while is to build a simple CLI "browser" that uses PhantomJS or similar under the hood to request, load, and render the page into an image, convert the image to sixel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel) and display it that way (or use any of the various terminal emulator-specific features (KiTTY has https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/graphics-protocol/ for example)). Probably pretty clunky, but it's doable if you're in the mood to write something purely for fun.
> - Mutt doesn't handle multiple email accounts natively for work/personal. The solutions are hacks at best. Email servers are starting to use more complete auth mechanisms that don't work well with mutt.
I don't think they're hacks. You can define exactly how you want it to work. That's a feature, not a bug. Sure, it takes a little bit of work to set up but you can use https://github.com/cweagans/dotfiles/tree/master/.config/mut... as a starting point if you'd like.

One Week of Libera Chat
When the IRC gateway stopped working, I found https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack worked pretty well. But I switched employers months ago and no longer have to use Slack, which is even better! (So, I don't know how well it works today.)

Thoughts on the state of the freenode IRC network - Edward Kmett
The weechat plugin unfortunately cannot coexist with wee-slack (https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack/issues/812, https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/248), so if one wants to participate in the Haskell Foundation Slack, or any other Slack (e.g. for work), then Matrix is off limits. Yeah, it's just a bug that will eventually get fixed, but it does make things unnecessarily complicated. :-/

What's the best way to find an emacs ninja to help/hire?
NB. On integrating slack & other webby things. Terminal applications might be a big help here (the Windows terminal now has excellent compatibility if you’re using Windows). For instance, there’s a slack plugin for weechat (a terminal IRC / chat client) which by all accounts works pretty well. Or there’s this client that runs directly in a terminal.

How to be social in the terminal
Wee-Slack is a WeeChat plugin that is based on python WebSockets and delivers most of the basic functionality of the Slack client. To use this, you need to receive a Slack API token. One way is - after installing - to run on WeeChat: /slack register This command prints a link you should open in your browser to authorize WeeChat with Slack. Once you’ve accomplished this, you should run:
