> Subsequently building up from HTML the way pages used to be built and then embedding code doesn't really line up with the way modern web apps are developed.

Unfortunately the data doesn't agree with you. JSX, react and all that jazz is not used by 99.99% of the web. And NEVER will be! In fact react/vuejs/front-end frameworks are fancy only these days, the majority of web developers don't even use preprocessors for CSS or a templating engine like HAML/Markdown to begin with [1].

There's a reason why writing HTML has been kept simple. And forgiving.

> "May I search your laptop?" "Certainly." "But... this is practically empty." "Yes sir. I FedEx'd my SSD to the destination."

Scratch that last bit. There is no need to reveal that, and it could sound suspicious (like you are trying to hide something specific by circumventing their checks, and trying to look clever (and/or make them look dim) by doing so to boot).

Just be honest without giving extra information: "yes sir, this is a travel machine and it just contains what I'm going to need while I'm between locations" if they ask why you would do that then "in case the laptop gets stolen, the less that is on it the less of a worry that could be" strikes me as a perfectly valid reason to be careful. Or perhaps "all the other data and programs I'm going to need are already with the clients/suppliers/other I'm visiting" (which it is as you've posted it, but you don't have to say the thing that might unnecessarily raise suspicion).

I think the idea is to get people to "right the ship" by forcing it to lean too far to the other side, causing them to quickly pull it back to center.
Sounds like a game of semantics to me. Value is a human concept, so eliminating all of humanity doesn't prove anything with regard to the nature of value, intrinsic or otherwise. That's like saying "poison is not inherently dangerous because without life on earth it ceases to pose a threat". Ok, that's technically true, but you're not saying anything meaningful since nothing has meaning outside of the human context. The point of labeling a quality as intrinsic is to point out that the quality being described arises from the fundamental nature of the thing regardless of how it is perceived. Food has inherent nutritional value because nutrition is a function of an object's physical composition. Nutrition has inherent value because nutrition is necessary for survival. The ability to survive has inherent value because it is a fundamental need of all living things.

This is really impressive. It combines a lot of good ideas for making collaboration easier for non-technical users (Github auth, live editing). I see some negative comments about HTML but I see this being a great solution for marketing sites with basic interactions.
No, Soylent Isn’t Healthy. Here’s Why
I think the gist is the person creating the app would not write any javascript at all. Just the markup and reference the mavo js/css. In Angular and any other framework, you would typically write a JS component and HTML or other format template that eventually renders to HTML. There could be pros and cons to each approach, but I can see a niche for something like this where there isn't a need/desire to do anything besides _just HTML_

Blockstack can use IPFS for storage. If you create "mycoolapp.app" (or "myname.id" to use a namespace that currently exists), you can store application code or even data in IPFS (using the http-gateway just like you did now).

Blockstack provides naming, identity and security (you know what public key is connected to "myname.id").

Meta-commentary: This is one of the more fascinating threads I have seen on HN. It seems to parallel many of the problems with political discourse in the world today - maybe it's always been like this, but I'm not old enough to know.

I would break down the comments into several types:

1) conspiracy theorists who believe in some secret cult that is unilaterally organizing everything

2) trolls - state sponsored or otherwise pushing an anti-humanitarian cause. They are throwing chaff into the discussion to confuse and disorient and to detract from the real issues.

3) people with experience in these events trying desperately to be heard - these are the people meant to be drowned out by the trolls

4) alarmists - people with relatively little knowledge of the actual goings-on who insist that every minor event is the end of the world (or Syria). I'm not saying that Syria hasn't been decimated, but that it was (and is) a process not an event

5) the rest of everyone who is trying to make heads or tails of things and seems to fall into one of those camps.

So, to one of the brighter communities on the internet (that's you HN) I ask: how do we (humanity) convey a full, factual picture to one another so that we may use those facts in conjunction with our values to agree or disagree with one another?

This is a very interesting project, and all attempts to simplify web development at this point are more than welcome. However I really wouldn't call it "a new way to create Web Applications". With such an ambitious title, no wonder folks here are thinking it's on the same category of libraries like Angular.

It looks like a great tool for non-programmers and power-users creating simple CMS kind of sites, which is already a great deal. However, typical Web applications are much more complex than what this tool could possibly do, so I would recommend to reconsider that message. Javascript, servers and databases are not the assembly of the web, there's good reason for their existence and in slightly more complex scenarios they simply can't be abstracted away.

It's not just about the message, it's about settling on a specific audience, and with that, focusing the efforts to provide as much value as possible for them. Trying to stay on the middle term for any generic "web applications" might mean the tool will never be flexible enough for professional web apps nor feature complete enough for non-programmers use cases.

I'd like to point out that I work at one of the largest(if not the largest) gamedev company in the world and 100% of our projects use our own engines.

Unless you believe that every single game should write its own engine from scratch, then I don't know what to say about that, it's just extremely obvious that it's not feasible for every project regardless of whether you have 100 or 10000 people working at your company.

It does seem that using glass aggregate is effective, perhaps not as a primary building material but an ancillary one. This wikipedia article is not amazing but seems to give a passable overview: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_recycling. Having said that,
the company in question has run similar environmental programs in the past so it's probably mostly marketing.
The start of that paragraph is crucial IMNHO - I didn't think 50 quid was that steep - if it wasn't for:

> Despite the retro appeal, the Nokia 3310 (buy here) is little more than a Nokia 150 (a basic feature phone that sells for a mere £20) wrapped up in a curved glossy shell and sold for a millennial-gouging £50.

And later:

> It's a spectacularly basic phone that's only good as a backup, or as festival/travelling companion where a week of battery life would be useful. Which would be fine were it not for the fact that Nokia is trying to charge £50 for a phone that should really cost less than £30. The Nokia 150 is, bar the camera and physical design, identical and costs £20. There's even the ultra-basic Nokia 105, which costs a mere £8.

50 might not be that much for a festival phone - until you realize that it's competing with a phone that costs 8.

I wouldn't call this for "non-programmers", but I have lots of customers who can handle HTML and some basic server code, but who find Angular a bit of a leap. They want a way to crank out modern web-based forms-on-data apps with little ceremony. Will definitely keep an eye on this.

"A Hybrid version of an app will never be as fast as a native version of the same app, but it doesn’t matter as long as the Hybrid version is fast enough. Put simply, if your users never complain about the performance of your app then it is fast enough."

Battery usage can still be a problem even if the app appears to run smoothly.
Phoenix is great because it gives you the same productivity benefits that Rails does, but it doesn't have any of the crazy "magic", which makes it both fast and also easy to understand. When you want to learn about how something works you can pop the hood and read the source code, and it's both well-documented and easy to understand. Elixir is also functional as opposed to object-oriented, which means no leaky abstractions!

I like Vue because it's easy to pick up and it gets out of your way. It's not as complex as React, but still very powerful and extensible. Vue's browser extension is also top-notch.

I like working with them as a stack because they are both very transparent, which makes it easy to reason about when you're passing data back and forth between the server and the client. The only way I can describe it is that it feels very "natural".

> authenticator

Authorization is the counterpart to Authentication: authentication proves who you are (with passwords/tokens/biometrics aka something you know/have/are), authorization controls what you can do (with permissions/ACLs/roles/etc.)

To put it another way, the bouncer at a club checks your photo ID to see that you match it (authentication via something you are), then uses it to see if you can enter (authorization by checking your birthdate against a cut-off/name against a guestlist).

I emphatically opt out of all of Google's services and tracking. I have done everything I can to avoid having them track me, short of quitting my job (we use google apps at work...).

there are no benefits to LD or psychopathologies.

any person who does fine with an LD would soar far, far, far higher without one. learning coping mechanisms brings you up to just barely below normal par. they don't let you exceed normal, because nobody else needs coping mechanisms to bring them to the level that they are already naturally at.

for every CEO you see waxing about their issues, remember that there are perhaps ten thousand people with similar LD and other issues who ended up in prison or beaten down at the margins of society. maybe even more. we'd do well to develop some kind of cure to these problems...

AS3/Flash was an amazing language + ide. It included a simple syntax, layers, a great system of events and callbacks, animations built in, timelines, vector graphics, etc. I and other AS3 devs (2011) could write code x10 faster than anyone in obj-c. The concept of AS3/swfs running on an iOS store could mean the end of control of the apple app store and the break down of the obj-c community.

Apple completely fucked over AS3/Flash. Adobe launched multiple attempts to work with apple to build out a system to launch swf files on a iOS device. Apple could have helped. Adobe should have played hardball and yanked photoshop [+studios] from the osX.
Local storage has been a thing for a really long time
For an extra $9 you could have bought jeans made in the USA by Buddy Jeans corporation of Mississippi, which in my experience are extremely high quality, instead of Chinese clothes that fall apart instantly but cost 20% less.

A place in Wisconsin makes my work shoes that in the long run are cheaper than imports.

The point of these anecdotes, is I am interested to consider as labor arbitrage and cost of oil and whatever else wipes out the price advantage of foreign imported clothes that used to exist for the last generation or two, if the surviving American clothing manufacturers being somewhat fancier and higher end will result in Americans "soon" wearing generally fancier clothes.

As a concrete example of my theory, currently New Balance Chinese made sneakers are the cheapest thing to slap on your feet. They look ultra casual, usually pretty dirty, and are engineered to fall apart extremely rapidly (for example they recently took the eyelets out of the lace holes to make the laces destroy the plastic fake leather faster). However... over the long term its already cheaper to buy Thorogood dress shoes made in Wisconsin because they last roughly forever and as a side effect look quite stylish in my opinion, and as economic trends continue, its conceivable that soon the cheapest shoes available to slap on your feet will be some rather formal looking Thorogoods, then for an extra $20 you can buy some New Balance from China that fall apart in four months of use. And my theory is we are very close to that tipping point with the result that at least in the short term "average folks who don't care about fashion" will be wearing much less casual, much more formal appearance clothing.

It seems a realistic hypothesis, easily testable, fits prevailing trends...

My wife buys me casual weekend clothes from Nordstroms or Von Maur or whatever and that casual weekend stuff costs more than the cheap generic polos I wear at work. Like a hugo boss shirt that looks nice for weekend wear but costs $100 vs yesterday I wore some generic Target polo to work because we "dress up" at this conservative employer. I've also noticed I can sometimes buy cheap dockers or dockers knockoffs on sale for less than what I pay for weekend wear jeans. So with respect to my hypothesis the future is already here, just unevenly distributed.

I'm old enough that I had to wear the suit and tie to the financial employer in the olden days. Its very comfortable if you spend enough money and suits were quite expensive. The field service techs I tangentially worked with would maliciously comply by purchasing the ugliest used clothes imaginable from Goodwill and throw the suit out at the end of a shift if it got ruined. Its interesting to see the tables turn and my clothes on the weekend cost more than work cloths unlike when I was young.
