Impressive performance gains in moving TypeIt from Gatsby to Astro
- 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.

Making my Library Open Source but paid for corporates
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

Tools for simulating Code Typing?
Something like TypeIt would work but I need Code Highlighting too.

Ask HN: Tools for Code Typing Simulation?
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

Striff: A < 600 byte string diffing package.
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.

Just found out about the native TreeWalker object, useful for crawling through lots of nodes.
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):

Lighthouse score jumped 8 points just by moving from Google Analytics to Plausible.
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.

Portfolio Critique — October 2021
Using typeit.js is a really easy way to get the control you need for the typing effect to work well.

How much money do you make from your website a month?
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.

We need to Speak about Google Code Quality
I could do the same exercise with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, but luckily I don't need to, since Plausible already did. A piece of advice, rip out Google Analytics and use Plausible instead. It first of all doesn't destroy your website, and secondly it doesn't violate the GDPR - So you can embed it on your site without having to warn your visitors about that they're being spied on by Google.

Plausible as an alternative to Google Analytics
I just swapped out Google Analytics with Plausible for AINIRO.IO. It’s only been a week, but so far I am super jazzed about it. First of all, Plausible doesn’t use cookies, so I can completely drop all cookie disclaimers and popups I had because of GDPR. Second of all, the site scores significantly better on load time. This results in a 10x better user experience for my website visitors, while making sure the website is still 100% conforming to GDPR laws.

Simple no bs persistent notepad
No clue what you mean, browser cache might even clear itself without you doing anything manually. This thing makes no sense.
Nowhere ever did it say Tech Demo anywhere, not in the HN headline, not on the page itself. No, thanks. And even as a tech demo, there is nothing impressive going in. It is stores shit to local storage, I guess. Lol, I just looked this up, and it was in Firefox on 2009 already? WHAT? https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/loca... I never used it myself directly, but I remember reading about some API that kind of is the new version of cookies that can store more and better and I think that is it. 2009, I would swear what I think about was newer, maybe I am mixing something up, maybe not.
It has unnecessarily tracking from the comment above, not sure if it even sends all your notes to https://plausible.io, and I do not care. For me, this fails as a tech demo or whatever the fuck It's supposed to be. Sorry to not get all excited about everything posted here. In 2009 it for sure would ;)

Using Analytics on My Website
If you already use Posthog, Web Analytics has been in Public Beta for quite some time.[1]
If I remember correctly, CloudFlare Analytics does not need you to register your domain with them. I personally feel keeping domain registration coupled with your DNS provider is not a good idea.
Plausible[2] has an Open Source self-hostable version but is not so updated in sync with their SaaS version.
Umami[3] is another simple, clean one. And, of course, as many have suggested, Matomo is the other well-established one. If you want to avoid maintaining a hosting routine, a lot do the hosting out of the box these days. PikaPods[4] was good when I tried and played around for a while.

Ask HN: What is the least obnoxious way to ask for cookie permissions?
You log the IP address, referrer, user agent and the requested page URL but you don't set a unique cookie to identify the user.
This still gets you plenty of actionable analytics information: where geographically people are located (via GeoIP), what pages are most popular, what platforms (including desktop vs mobile) people are using.
I've been using https://plausible.io for analytics on a bunch of my sites for a couple of years now and I honestly don't miss the extra level of detail I got from cookie-based analytics I've used in the past.
