Some stuff going through my head lately (as I've been enjoying my first vacation with paid time off in five years!): https://forum.tfos.co/t/a-micro-fund-for-biff-tfos-projects summary is I've got $500-$1,000/month that I could potentially spend on sponsoring people who want to work on open-source Biff apps, and I need to find out if there's anyone who'd be interested in that. I'm mainly thinking about my own projects (yakread once I open-source it, platypub, others that I've yet to start...) but would be open to funding other people's project ideas as well--depending on how much funding I can actually contribute 😉 .

How much down time is incurred when deploying to production using Biff out of the box? Thinking of deploying a few times a week.

Jacob O'Bryant20:10:51

probably 30 - 90 seconds each time.

Jacob O'Bryant20:10:13

if you do bb soft-deploy then there's zero downtime. that'll be good enough for most changes, though not all.

Lyn Headley20:10:40

Nice, I will check that out

Lyn Headley20:10:45

beautiful. eval to the rescue.

Are there any "biffy" js libraries on top of tailwind providing simple dynamic components like modals, auto-complete dropdowns, etc? By biffy I mean does not require react or any framework, you just load the js and attach it to a dom element. I think of bootstrap as 'biffy' in this way.

Jacob O'Bryant21:10:48

I typically search for "<x> Javascript component", then you get stuff like https://atomiks.github.io/tippyjs/ and https://yaireo.github.io/tagify/. there is also a library or two that build on top of tailwind that i'd like to try out. namely https://flowbite.com/ and https://daisyui.com/

https://flowbite.com/docs/components/drawer/I don't know if it's me but I get scroll lag when I scroll through flowbite's drawer documentation (using Vimium extension's j key but it doesn't happen with arrow key) :thinking_face: And my CPU is really fast :thinking_face: (5900hx with 32gb ram)

@U028ART884X FWIW, I use VimiumC and I just gave it a shot with both j and k in the "drawer" docs and was unable to reproduce on my side.

I forgot to mention that I'm on desktop Firefox. Firefox seems to have some small performance things once in a while. That may be because the site has multiple complex examples there :thinking_face: But then this would also mean that mobile phone will need to render this :thinking_face: It's also possible that this is the implementation of Vimium as I didn't have this with arrow keys. For instance the scroll feel is immediate whereas the arrow key implementation waits until the continuous scroll begins. Vimium should be firing scroll events to do this. Edit: I tried to look at pages from daisyui and it didn't happen :thinking_face:
