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.

Best practice: typing effect on mobile screen
TypeIt.js exists.

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.

Nearsightedness is at epidemic levels – and the problem begins in childhood
Vision therapy for myopia helps some people, but not everyone, likely due to genetic and neuroplasticity differences, https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu.... Nevertheless, many of the principles are useful for children whose eyes and brains are still developing.

Tesla driver arrested for homicide after running over motorcyclist on Autopilot
I'm a huge Tesla skeptic, but Tesla and Musk are lightning rods for tabloid-style garbage that doesn't belong on HN, so it doesn't surprise me that we often see negative Tesla content flagged to death. Meanwhile we also see plenty of content that hits the front page and stays there [0].
Do you have examples of professional, interesting Tesla content that got flagged?
[0] More than half of the past year's most popular Tesla articles were negative: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=pastYear&page=0&prefix=tru...

The Man Who Killed Google Search
It's April 23rd, 2024, and I am still looking for a good, reliable, honest and simple search engine.
All I want to do is search.
No AI.
No ads.
No shopping.
Please don't "Answer my question." I enjoy doing my own original research, thanks.
I'm entirely willing - wanting even - to pay for it.
Currently Kagi has my $, but I'm saddened and frustrated that they're not even focused on Search, they're focused on AI[1] and t-shirts.
Amazingly, in 2024, there is still a market opportunity for a good search engine.
It can't really just be me, can it?

Tesla Recalls All Cybertrucks for Faulty Accelerator Pedals
Most likely because there have been oodles of low-quality stories on these topics. We turned the flags off on this one since it maybe rises above the noise (see https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... for past explanations on how we approach that).

Show HN: What Are You Working On?
Hey HN,
I'm sure you've seen the monthly "Ask HN: What Are You Working On?" headlines on [Hacker News](https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).
Honestly, it's my favorite topic because it's packed with insights about what other hackers are up to.
I wondered what it would be like if instead of just a headline, there was a whole website where hackers could post daily updates, and where we could follow the hackers we're interested in for their latest updates. And so, this web site was born.
I hope it gets used frequently so we can all benefit from it together. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Let me know what you think!

Not Apply to YC
I don't know what one thing you're referring to, but it's a core principle of HN to try to avoid repetition, and especially the repetition+indignation combo, which is the commonest and most tedious thing on the internet.
