  • Building a syntax highlighting extension for VS Code
    12 projects | dev.to | 1 Mar 2024
    I spent a few days of my spare time building a VS Code extension that would bring better syntax highlighting for the Slim template language to the editor. I quite enjoyed most of the process so I’d like to share what I learned.

    I think they mean Server Side Rendering (normal rails controllers/views), and Slim is just the name of the templating engine. It's a little nicer than the default ERB. https://github.com/slim-template/slim

    There's also SSR with react and other js frameworks, but I don't think that's what they meant.

  • How to build a website without frameworks and tons of libraries
    17 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Jul 2023
    I use something very similar on https://lunar.fyi and https://lowtechguys.com but I wouldn’t call this “simple” anymore.

    They use Jinja templating, I prefer Slim (https://github.com/slim-template/slim#syntax-example) which has a more Pythonic syntax (there is plim [0] in Python for that)

    I use Tailwind as well for terse styling and fast experimentation (allows me to write a darkMode-aware and responsive 100 line CSS in a single line with about 10 classes)

    For interaction I can write CoffeeScript directly in the page [1] and have it compiled by plim.

    I run a Caddy static server [2] and use Syncthing [3] to have every file save deployed instantly to my Hetzner server.

    I use entr [4] and livereloadx [5] to rebuild the pages and do hot reload on file save. All the commands are managed in a simple Makefile [6]

    ———

    You can already see how the footnotes take up a large chunk of this comment, this is not my idea of simple. Sure, the end result is readable static HTML and I never have to fight obscure React errors, but it’s a high effort setup for starters.

    Simple for me would be: write markdown files for pages, a simple CSS for general styling (should be optional), click to deploy on my domain. Images should automatically be resized to multiple sizes and optimized, videos re-encoded for smaller filesize etc.

    I have mostly implemented that for myself (https://notes.alinpanaitiu.com/How%20I%20write%20this%20blog...) but it feels fragile. I’d rather pay for a professional solution.

    This config sets a ”medium“ font weight for our form labels by default. Now, suppose we want a specific input’s label to be bold instead, we might want to try the following naive approach (we’re using the Slim template notation here):
