Знакомимся с Cruzo. Часть 1. RxBucket – контейнер состояний и конфигураций компонентов на фронте

Не так давно, я наконец выложил на github свой фреймворк cruzo – https://github.com/MaratBektemirov/cruzo. Сам фреймворк писался где-то с 2020г, в свободное от работы время. Причем большую часть времени я потратил на шаблонизатор с реактивными значениями.Я хотел сделать минималистичный, но в то же время мощный инструмент для создания простых и сложных веб-приложений. Попытался взять хорошие идеи от разных фреймворков и собрать их в одном месте. Одна из таких идей - это... Read more

Записная книжка, которой не было, или Почему простота — истинная добродетель

Я изучил записные книжки шести писателей-классиков и обнаружил, что ни один из них не вёл "систему управления знаниями". Их тетради были хаотичны, а сам подход не навязывал структуру. В результате исследования я сделал свою полноценную "тетрадь писателя" на Go в 3253 строки с нулём фреймворков и минимумом зависимостей. Под катом — пространное эссе о том, почему "удобно" и "просто" — разные вещи. Читать далее Read more
