overview for xoron

when i started, the attempt was to try to create this functionality without using any dependencies (including Lit). the Lit html function is well done and makes things very convenient for handling things like the lifecycle methods and caching states.

i would like to revisit that attempt, but i found that Lit does it very well and for me to create something from scratch would take much more consideration and i expect i would overlook some nuanced detail. i'll see what i can make of it in future changes.

while im sure Lit users could benefit from this, as for contributing to the Lit ecosystem, im not really sure what steps to take for this. similarly, React 19 also introduces "support" for web components.

React-Like Functional Web Components in c/programming@programming.dev

no. it isnt better or more stable than React. its all an experimental proof-of-concept.

its an idea im trying out. i thought maybe others might find it interesting.

im aiming to see if i can get something that looks and behaves like React, but works natively in a browser without the need to build or transpile. i think in theory it could work.

Am i using Google Keyword planner correctly? (programming.dev)

ive only just discovered google keyword planner (GKP), but i dont know about blogging in general. for my "intro blog", GKP suggest the words to use as seen in this GKP export.

im making an attempt to integrate some of those suggestions in my blog. this is what i have so far.

am i doing this right? as for picking the words, im not sure what column i should filter/sort by to choose the words that get me the most clicks to my blog?

thanks for the info. i'll take a look later, it sounds like an interesting idea.

im investigating an idea i have about functional webcomponents after some experience with Lit.

Lit is a nice lightweight UI framework, but i didnt like that it was using class-based components.

Vue has a nice approach but i like working with the syntax that React used and i wondered if with webcomponents i could create a functional UI framework that didnt need to be transpiled.

i think the article is already quite long, so i think i will create a separate one as a tutorial for it.

note: im not trying to push "yet another ui framework", this is an investigation to see what is possible. this article is intended as educational.

thanks for the tip!

can i just copy-paste that into the blog for free? if you want, and if you have github, i could list you as one of the authors.

ive tried hacker news (a prev post). its been mentioned before that its good for technical discussions. to me it seems pretty dry and unappealing to maintain a presence there (similar case for mastodon and discord). im faily new to lemmy and so far seems to yield the "most useful" feedback.

thanks for the tip. i think its to hard to find the balance. im banking on it improving with practice.

i'll try make an update for better intros to articles. i think i go in a bit too technical from the start.

i normally use reddit for what people normally do with a blog. this is because i dont know enough to drive traffic to my site. i recently created a Docusaurus blog for my app and id like to see more traffic go there when i set up ads. the amount of traffic i have right now is barely anything (about 30 per day), compared to the number of "views on reddit".

i regurgitated old reddit posts into articles. im not much of a writer and im sure the content can be improved to "flow better".

i created some images on my phone... i justify it as "it matches the theme"... its actually the best i can do without using some AI or an actual artist.

id like to set up some kind of ads on it when its looks like its in a better state and i can attract traffic.

let me know what you think i could/should do to make it better.

Shared VR space over P2P (youtu.be)

the code related to the video is a faily basic implementation using BabylonJS. it can be found here.

id like to see if i can get handpose-estimation to work well enough to be able to add to the BabylonJS render engine.

im working on something i hope will work like the 8thwall demo here. i couldnt find an open-source alternative to this so i thought id have a crack at it myself. my progress so far is as described here. i dont have much experience in creating games or graphics, so any guidance/help/advice is appriciated.

FAQ:

why should i use it? - its a proof-of-concept app. for testing and demo purposes only.
why create it? - it is a hobby project and i can be creative with the approach. its fun to work on.
what is it? - maybe this article helps.

WebRTC IP Leaking in c/javascript@programming.dev

[-] xoron@programming.dev 1 points 3 months ago

“connect to expressvpn and run the test”… is that actually what you were doing?

i tried with a different VPN provider but yeah. understandable for people to not go to an unknown websites like the demo i posted, so a link to the code on github is provided.

IMO you simply can’t do anything reasonably useful here

i agree... im stretching the definition of what is "reasonable". id settle some something clunky likes a popup for the user to remind them to be on VPN. its important to understand im putting efforts in determining what the safest and securest way is to use my app. i think it has the potential to be a private and secure chat app. the app works with webrtc, the key attack-surface is individuals and their peers not applying good security practices.

in traditional centralized chat system the central server will typically take responsibility for proxying request and consequently, the personal IP addresses are not needed to be shared. so having something like a toggle for "enforce VPN" might do nothing more than remind the user to turn on their VPN. but sometimes a reminder is what someone needs to use good security practices.

Thanks for the clear info! I'll investigate this further within the demo.
