@possiblyaxolotl yeah, same.I am really terrible at learning from books/guides. Like I can read it and get all the concepts just fine, except they go right out the window unless I do something with it. Doing something with the new tech is how I remember it

things I still need to do:* make this webapp list the existing keysmashes in the database, not just add new ones * make the add-dialog a dialog/drawer, not permanently taking up half the page* figure out how we're gonna do redaction/anonymization. Some of the 26 users in the database (and future users) may not want to have their names in any future public release. * hook it up to the heatmap* render the keysmash as an animation, with handedness highlighting

okay my theme switching does kinda work if I hardcode it to dark mode, then I can switch the themebut it only affects the theme, not the background.But the background is set by the system theme, so if you have the theme set to lightmode and system them set to dark, you get a black background and black UI formSo it's just invisible

@foone it really is it's own world that just happens to use some browser bits. I made it a special interest for six years and got incredibly good with it, but then reached nirvana and realized I never wanted to work in an SPA again. Nomatter how much optimization you do, you're still shipping megabytes of JS.I do still love JSX, however, and built my own componentized template engine on it.

@foone I'm not a fan. That being said, I have react apps I've built it are responsible for at work. You get used to it. Sort of. Also, if you haven't figured it out (no, seriously, it took me a week before I got it), all a "thunk" is, is a closure. Gods, that pissed me off. Me: what's a thunk? A: it's a thunk. Me: that's a tautology, and now I must kill you. It was a personal blind spot, su when I actually grokked it, so much tension drained out of me.
