Yes, that's what the Node.js integration is built with.

The Rust example is using axum (which I love), but generating good Swagger docs for axum services is a bit annoying. It would be awesome to have a simpler way of generating those while staying closer to "normal" axum code.

I am using NestJS for the first time to build the Node.js example project for Oicana. The DI system seemed a bit strange at first, but it's growing on me.
Definitely better than using plain Axios, which is what we did at work last time I was writing Node services ^^

*The examples for the Node.js and Rust integrations are still a work in progress.

In the meantime, we're curious: what other programming languages would you like to see an Oicana integration for? Let us know!

Every Oicana integration is built for (near) native compilation speed on its platform. We've got you covered from the browser to the backend!

Our GitHub organization has open-source example projects for every available integration*. See how to use Oicana in your stack!

I haven't tried to figure out the limits, but the ECS is completely in memory. So your 100k DB items cannot be too large.

The experimental static site generator Cinnog is now updated to #leptos 0.8 and #bevy ECS 0.17

Write static sites with in Leptos island mode. Bevy ECS is used as a data layer that can be queried with "normal" rust code.

This has been my side project for more than a year now. I am very exited for Typst and think that it deserves a lot more usage in business software.

Give Oicana a try and let me know what you think 😊

Oicana @oicana.com · 9d

Tired of slow, clunky PDF templating with vendor lock-in?

We were too. That's why Oicana is built on the open source typesetter @typst.app.

In the past two years, Typst has become the foundation to base document writing on for so many people. With the lessons from their experience, we are launching our new website today.

My submission for the #bevy game jam 6 is snake played on a match 3 board. The snake head triggers matches while the tail is sorting gems.

Grow as big as you can without biting yourself or getting hit by a chain reaction.

The snake tail will now play against you! It will try to switch two gems in its surroundings to prepare a match.

It's starting to get fun to playtest ^^

Niklas Eicker @nikl.me · Jun 7

Some decent progress today 🥳

The snake head triggers matches now. The matches explode and trigger any matches around them. That should cover the "chain reaction" topic 😀
Now, the player needs to loose when hit by a match. And I think the game needs a mechanic that primes more matches over time...

Niklas Eicker @nikl.me · Jun 7

Don't mind my developer art 😅 I fear I won't have much time left to improve that though...

Niklas Eicker @nikl.me · Jun 7

For the #bevy jam with the topic "chain reaction", I had the idea to play match 3 along snake. But after building the snake part, I didn't like the idea anymore ^^
New idea: only the snake triggers matches. The match 3 chain reactions kill the snake when hitting the body. Only two days left ⌛

Yeah, I am aware of the extension, but read-only fits well for my use case and I would prefer a website over something built into one IDE.

Sounds good 😊
Feel free to ping me here when you have a repository. I would love to try it out!

That looks awesome! I have been searching for a project like that to add an inspector for the data layer of my static site generator Cinnog.
