Show HN: Node.js video tutorials where you can edit and run the code
This is wild. I'd love to use this to do a demo app for my JS framework, Joystick [1]. Would a collab be possible (happy to contribute the end result to the Scrimba library)?

The Front End Treadmill
This is exactly why I'm building Joystick [1]. I got tired of the constant indecision and churn in JS frameworks, so I've built (and am actively building) a full-stack solution that features a simple component API that doesn't change, backed up by a batteries-included Node.js backend. All wired together so it's easy to use and fast to build your idea (for real, not just marketing fluff). Purposefully designed for people who are trying to build real businesses, not tinkering around to pad their resume.
The best part? I'm a tyrant about backwards compatibility, stability, and longevity (meaning, even if nobody else uses it, I'll be maintaining this for the long-haul).
For the cynics: for the love all that's holy, do not send me the XKCD cartoon about standards. I deeply care about solving this problem and this isn't "just another JS framework." It's a replacement for all of the "just do everything on the client" buffoonery and it works incredibly well.

Svelte 5 and the Future of Frameworks: A Chat with Rich Harris
It's either VDOM or having to depend on a compiler to do everything (how Svelte works). The advantage to the former is it's relatively easy to debug, whereas with a compiler, I'm at the mercy of its developer and their whims.
VDOM may be "antiquated" (I mean it's a nested object or linked list which are standard paradigms) but slow depends on what you're doing. I did a linked list for my own full-stack framework's [1] component library and it's quite snappy.

The Future of Htmx
If you like this approach but want a full-stack JS solution, check out Joystick [1] (the philosophy [2] page echoes a lot of the same sentiments here).

Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (December 2024)
Remote Work: Yes, only
Unicorn. I do branding [1], design, and full-stack JavaScript development. I built the Joystick JavaScript framework (full-stack [2]) and Push deployment service [3]. Recently shipped Parrot [4].
Looking to work with entrepreneurs and small teams (or VCs who need a sharp shooter who can deliver) who need help shipping product and features that work from day one, fast. 17+ years of experience running a small business/shipping software, so I don't need to be babysat—just set loose with a clear idea of what needs to be built and open lines of communication if/when I have questions. The catch: using freelance work to finance product ideas and have freedom to do work on my terms (i.e., I can be available to consult long-term but not looking to transition to a full-time position).
Average time to brand, design, and ship a full-stack app is 3-6 months but I can move faster if you're willing/able to delegate 100%.

Simplicity Is an Advantage but Sadly Complexity Sells Better
I built a full-stack JS framework [1] that I thought would be a hit. As best as I can tell, because it lacks the complexity/word salad of existing solutions, it's mostly been ignored despite being (imo) an elegant solution to a long-standing problem.

Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (April 2024)
SEEKING WORK, Tennessee, United States
Remote: Yes
I'm a full-stack, JavaScript/Node.js developer and designer. I'm the creator of the Joystick JavaScript framework [1], Push deployment service [2], and Mod CSS framework [3].
I also have experience with MongoDB, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB (limited but competent) and devops (K8s + Docker and bare-metal linux admin, the latter preferred for simplicity/stability).
Currently looking to take on clients who are open to using Joystick, Push, and Mod to design and develop their app. Because it's still at a pre-release version, I'm willing to work out deals around pricing to get some more test-cases under my belt. Ideal client is a solopreneur w/ funding or entrepreneur with previous experience + funding. Open to working with startups (early or established), but only on greenfield projects where use of Joystick is ok.
