🤯 Unison in the browser!?

Dan Freeman's new library, Proscenium, runs Unison code in WebAssembly.

Its companion library, @dfreeman/playbill, contains a walk-through of various features and live examples on Unison Cloud!

Play a game in your browser entirely in Unison; better yet, write your own!

Another fun project written in @unison-lang.org , deployed to Unison Cloud ⛅🚀

I promise one day I'll work on something more serious, but this will do for now to scratch that #UnisonLang itch 😅

@hojberg.xyz think this could be featured in the catalog under the "Data Store" category? There are only two projects listed in this section. I don't use Discord, so hope you don't mind me reaching out via this platform 😀

Turns out I needed the `Cache` ability in other projects too, so I released the code I had (plus some modifications) as a library. It's always fun working with @unison-lang.org :)

Certainly! Their IPC gives you a lot of flexibility, it just requires some initial work, e.g. you can manipulate the central window size via `niri msg action set-window-height/width`.

Animations are supported, you can use a custom shader for the expansion effect: yalter.github.io/niri/Configu...

It is possible to achieve the functionality you're after via their IPC (yalter.github.io/niri/IPC.html), which is how I added scratchpad and fullscreen management support.

It's not provided out-of-the-box, though, as it's mainly a scrollable tiling wm, so new windows are spawned on the right.

100% a lot of them would use CSAM identification as a cover for enabling mass surveillance.

It's alarming that European leaders that don't understand how E2EE works are going to be voting on this proposal.

XMonad has been my main driver for years, but X11 has become outdated long ago, and Wayland started taking over. So I took the plunge and switched to Hyprland for over a year. It's been fine, but I wasn't entirely satisfied with it.

Now I think I've found the perfect window manager: Niri 😍

So sad to hear :( I have fond memories of collaborating with him on OSS Scala stuff, specially meow-mtl. RIP Oleg.
