In recent times, everyone's choice is React because AI knows it best, I'd still argue that simplicity, packet-size and closeness to native are still more important considerations for extensibility, specially for software that people will depend on.
- UI: Petite-Vue -> Vue, Preact+Signals (+Htm) with Twind, Vite with Deno
- Server: Flask/Sanic, FastAPI, Astro or VuePress, Hono + Wouter with Pocketbase
- Canvas API + Matter.js (for physics) or Konva.js (for scene graph/events), Zdog, p5.js, W by xem for sizecoding webgl demos
About
- This page originally used threejs+vanta.globe background, but currently uses raw WEBGL, bringing page size down from 600kb to under 40kb now, ofcourse with gzip the page you are seeing in browser is approx 11kb.
- I got into programming through text-based games, learned twine, ink, inform6 (punyInform for a MSDOS game), and even made an interactive fiction game in TIC80 later with lua. I have since then been particpating in IFCOMP, SpringThing, ldjam almost every year.
- Next learned to write php plugins for wordpress, not fun. But made some pages for an NGO so I believe that was useful. Moved my blog to jekyll later.
- Around 2020 I found processing but my computer couldn't run opengl well, so next was p5js, and then utilised sololearn and freecodecamp to learn javascript (completed the front-end certificate course in both).
- 2023 onwards started obsessing over aframejs, and participated in gamejams, became a game engine hopper but took that as an opportunity to learn more about other programming languages
- 2025 Made Karui todo, shintaku and a few other android apps, diving deep into frontend frameworks and comparing svelte, alpinejs, preact, vue.
- Recently got into size-coding, became fond of Allman style of braces. Relevant stories are on the
blog. Follow me on
my github page to see my new projects.
