As a newbie dev learning #csharp and #dotNET , I've built a project or two with #MVC but have no idea how to implement a demo log-in for it. can anyone who sees this offer some advice?
Just had a go with https://github.com/Juerd/tootpick for adding a mastodon share button to a @getkirby website I am working on as suggested by https://spreadmastodon.org First site using Kirby after years on another CMS and I am loving the way it works. Tootpick looks very professional as well. #webdev
@WebDevGreg Tell me about it. Perch has been abandoned by its new owners for the second time in two years. That’s why I switched to Kirby—and loving it.
@nilsmielke Same here trying Kirby for my own site first then hope to use for customer sites. Have been paying the Perch subscription for the last few months in the hope I would get support but requests are ignored. I have a couple of larger customer sites on Runway, one with approx 1500 blog posts, that are stuck on ver 3.2 and I am worried about php 8.1 reaching EOL. Shame Perch is no longer viable but I am really enjoying learning Kirby.
@8bitTim Yeah, I took some arcade boards to donate, so some of my time was spent dealing with that. I should go back again sometime. There's so much to play with and look at.
Are there any #llvm contributors/reviewers on here? I'm making some changes to improve Windows (CodeView) debug info and would love for someone to have a look. First change is here: https://reviews.llvm.org/D148761 #rust#clang
And some Rust folks at Microsoft have been working closely with the debugger team to improve how it handles Rust debug info, and making changes to the Rust compiler to make that info easier to work with, for example https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/98393
@aristurtle As far as I can take it I use nameof. After that I use static readonly string members. Whatever it takes to be auto-included in refactoring operations.
@AngryAnt Yep, refactoring operations is the big one. I also use it a lot in situations like providing a const for the name of an IConfiguraiton section.
I'm constantly struggling with naming of options, and refactoring them.
@wikipedia Wikipedia should underline its in-article links. Often these are long noun phrases with two or more links in them, and you can’t know which words are links without hovering.
I know removing underlines has been basically de facto design on the web for the last 20 years, but it is bad for usability.
@jsit@wikipedia: I use desaturated colors and lower white point (about 80%) and can say that the contrast between regular text and links isn’t enough to notice.
It’s almost the end of April, but despite a very busy month, I still managed to write down a blog post, even if it’s a bit more of a documentation-entry for myself. Perhaps some of you will find it useful!
Breaking change²: data is now evaluated in virtual machine contexts.
If you were persisting custom objects³ and referencing classes from global scope (globalThis) to have your objects keep their types when read, you must now explicitly register your list of custom classes using the new classes property of the options object when calling JSDB.open().
Right, I just updated Kitten so it includes JSDB version 3.0.0 and it now has built-in support for database app modules.
A database app module is an app module¹ for your database where you can provide a schema for it using JavaScript class hierarchies and register those classes with the database so your custom objects maintain their types when they are written and read in.
Hey #WebDev people... Do you know of any good examples of sites that deal with large volumes of page content, but AVOID the "mega menu" UI system - such as the one here https://www.matalan.co.uk/
I'm of the opinion that they're terrible for performance, hard to use (especially hover triggered), hard to design for flexibility and versatility, and should be avoided.
Amazon's "All" sidebar is better; but what other systems have you seen?

Ah. .format() does nothing, but doesn't tell you it does nothing. I feel like f strings not being usable as templates is a shortcoming, but it would probably break something else idk.
Rather than deciding on a scripting language that only some in the organization understands and enjoys — like #Python — consider a more inclusive option, like #Bash, which no one understands or enjoys.
