typeit VS Leaflet

- the overall performance score jumped by 12 points.

All of this was achieved by sticking with the same overall design and layout. It was really due to getting away from a heavy, React-based static site generator.

If you’re working with a similar type of site and looking to upgrade, rebuild, or migrate, I highly recommend Astro and its Starlight theme. I’ll be using it probably exclusively moving forward.

See the TypeIt site here:

https://typeitjs.com

I don’t know if you can restrict its usage in that way (wouldn’t that no longer make it open source), but you can charge for commercial usage while keeping the source open. I do this with TypeIt under a GPLv3 license: https://github.com/alexmacarthur/typeit/blob/master/LICENSE

Something like TypeIt would work but I need Code Highlighting too.

I'm looking for a tool that could mimic Code Typing but do it smoothly. I need it for recording tutorials but I don't want to record myself typing the code as that is not always smooth and is time consuming.

Something like TypeIt[0] but with Code Highlighting.

This is what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/U4ogK0MIzqk?t=9

I'll try to remember to post what I do with it. I'm planning on using it to build out a more interactive tool for generating TypeIt code on typeitjs.com.

TypeIt.js exists.

For a long time, my library TypeIt (https://typeitjs.com) crawled through a bunch of HTML nodes by recursively looping over them, and flattening them out at the end. It's always felt like an arduous, inefficient process. You can peruse through it here (spare me the code review, lol):

A friend brought up Plausible in a conversation a few days ago. I've been looking for an alternative to Google Analytics for quite some time (main concerns are performance, avoiding ad blockers & browsers that block client-side analytics, and UX of the admin). There's a self-hosted option, so I spun it up on a Digital Ocean server (found some great documentation; took maybe ~20 minutes), and wired up one of my sites with it -- typeitjs.com.

Using typeit.js is a really easy way to get the control you need for the typing effect to work well.

I don't make money on my personal blog (macarthur.me), but I have used it as a means of driving traffic to one that does. I've been selling TypeIt licenses (https://typeitjs.com) for a few years. Nothing significant in terms of revenue, but ranges from $200-$400 a month -- far more than I initially expected when I created the project as a means of learning JavaScript better.

9. Leaflet

Leaflet is the most famous open-source map library, with lots of plugins. 2 of them are used to animate a marker on the map:

Leaflet stands out as one of the top open source JavaScript libraries for crafting interactive maps. Optimized for both mobile and web devices, it is relatively small (around 42KB) and offers a ton of features, plugins, and a straightforward API. It works across all browsers and platforms.

Finding maplibre 'better' was more valid at the time than today, and is also subjective. The creators and maintainers of both libraries have done some great work (and are still doing so).

Back in January 2022, the stable version of leaflet, v1.7.1, was from September 2020, and was affected by some small bugs degrading the user experience. Although the release of following version seemed close, there was no clear schedule for it, and I had concerns about how maintained the library would remain.

As of today, the bug from 2015 where there is some white space between map tiles on fractional zoom levels [0] is still open.

Also, leaflet was a pain to integrate in Svelte Kit framework, because it depended on `window` and-or `document`, not available at server side.

Maplibre, on the other hands, with a feature set roughly equivalent to Leaflet, benefited from much more frequent releases, and seemed more stable across browsers and devices. It was also easier to make it work in Svelte kit.

For a personal project, I had to use Leaflet with Svelte, and I faced some problems during development.

Do anyone have any workaround on how to get leaflet js to work inside notion, either as an embed or as code, or widget? https://leafletjs.com/

None of those things are what most in the GIS space would consider "complex", so you could go with any of the options you selected. For lightweight maps, I like Leaflet

https://leafletjs.com

I have a special place in my heart for Leaflet and it’s documentation: https://leafletjs.com

Its suppose to be free: like with map data providers there's Leaflet, OpenStreet Maps and many more which are all for free.
