Amazing website and presentation of the story. Love it!
agarren•1mo ago
That is a fantastic presentation. It reminds me of the annotated source/site that backbonejs used to have, but this one is interactive. Really great job!
agumonkey•1mo ago
coffeescript docs used the same system iirc, very nice indeed
theturtletalks•1mo ago
Pomber is the founder of CodeHike and the code block animations you see are powered by it! We use CodeHike for our doc tutorials and it’s so much easier to follow.
keeganpoppen•1mo ago
could not agree more. this is the "everything has to be communicated via video format" they tell you not to worry about... as it were... all of the interactive and sequential that helps to build up a story, but where every detail is brought into focus exactly when it is relevant, but still forms part of a cohesive, intelligible whole (ie. a document! (who knew that documents were a great way to document things!)). i really have nothing to add to parent other than to second how fantastically presented the content on this page is. really beautiful work.

Motioncanvas may also be of interest then!

Love the way this is done. It's a shame commercial vendors don't do this sort of thing for their product docs more regularly.

I've been trying. I'm even building something to make adoption easier, not launched yet but it's here https://docskit.codehike.org

franciscop•1mo ago
This is an amazing resource to understand the internals/potential internals, and led me to build a small renderer that I've been using to amazing success for my own alt backend renderer. I now can do it like this:

    export default server()
      .get('/', () => <div>Hello world</div>)
      .get(...);
I've been using Bun's JSX transformer as well to do the transpilation, and since it's just a renderer on the backend I don't need to worry about events or hooks, just the rendering step. For this, the article was amazing and I learned a lot.

How do you handle interaction ?
8n4vidtmkvmk•1mo ago
I wrote something like this too. If i need interaction, i did something with the onclicks so it just sends the function definition to the client and calls that. Its not as powerful as react but you can do basic stuff. Its good if your site is mostly static.
franciscop•1mo ago
I was strongly thinking about doing that, but I think I prefer (for now) explicitly not having events, than having events that work kinda similar but not the same. Did you end up publishing it? Would love to have a look!
franciscop•1mo ago
No interaction built in for this kind of simplified use-case, it's just like one of the old "template engines" of the old day, just in JSX/TSX. It's actually much better than expected, I used to dislike that all the old templates had something "off" for me; either they invented their own syntax for logic that you needed to learn besides normal JS (think Handlebars, Pug, etc), or they were in JS-like and with an odd HTML syntax that made sharing between plain HTML and whichever language very hard (think Pug/Jade).

With JSX templating, it's a subset of React, so you can directly share "up"t, and sharing "down" is very easy as well (just removing interaction), since both use the same syntax.

thecupisblue•1mo ago
I'm actually about to release something similar, if you're interested would love to share it with you - getting some feedback would really help a lot.
franciscop•1mo ago
That's very nice, sure, thanks! Would love to see what others are working on. My very minimal implementation and docs are here, not really yet in my public projects, I've only used it for experiments:

- Documentation: https://server-js.com/documentation#jsx

- Source of the main renderer: https://github.com/franciscop/server-next/blob/master/src/js...

satvikpendem•1mo ago
Isn't this just a JSX template engine? For anything interactive you still need JS on the frontend. And then you essentially recreate React Server Components.
franciscop•1mo ago
Yes, it's a JSX template engine. I'm pointing out that this blog post was the main inspiration to learning how "straightforward" JSX was under the hood.
Etheryte•1mo ago
The animations don't keep up when you scroll the page quickly and it really makes the whole thing a pain to glance through. When you scroll fast or just jump to a point in the middle of the article with the scrollbar, you get a bunch of enqueued animations that make no sense.
braebo•1mo ago
React is such a terrible technology due to being based on such a fundamentally bad idea. The entire render model introduces so much indirection by breaking the entire platform and forcing you to write code against piles of leaky abstractions while constantly keeping the library behavior attached to each line of code in the back of your head.

The fact that it hasn’t been taken out back and shot continues to baffle me everyday at work as I’m neck deep in Nextjs daydreaming about deleting 2/3 of the code and sticking the remaining Typescript and markup into a Sveltekit app.

This post is cool so sorry for using it to vent… it just kills me seeing how it works and knowing people are celebrating it instead of protesting it.. forcing others like me to use it on purpose.

javcasas•1mo ago
I have followed this to implement React-like in Python using tk. It is quite cool.
