I've been using https://talat.app/ for this, I've not been using it for long, a few weeks, but it's working well so far.
Re:A few interesting modern pixel fonts on Tuesday May 26, 2026 @05:15PM (#48286065)
Came here to say the same, I actually like Departure so much I use it as my coding and Terminal font. I'll definitely be trying out the fonts in the original post.
Re:Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged on Thursday May 14, 2026 @01:01PM (#48138070)
Honest question, how many of the leaks and crashes can be attributed to zig the language vs possibly (maybe, we don't know) a loosey-goosey, slot machine approach to development heavily reliant on AI? Will the inherent leaks and crashes be fixed, purely by dint of porting to Rust?
Re:Show HN: Tips to stay safe from NPM supply chain attacks on Monday September 22, 2025 @11:57AM (#45335266)
I created https://github.com/JamieMason/shrinkpack in 2015 to try and help with this problem, by creating an offline mirror of decompressed tarballs from the npm registry that you'd check into your repository.

I thought it might have some merit at the time, but it never really took off as an idea.

Re:Svelte 5 Released on Sunday October 20, 2024 @07:34AM (#41894668)
I agree, that's a really nice feature of Svelte. It can be done in .astro files from https://astro.build/ too but Svelte is the first place I saw it done, like you say, it's very nice to work that way.
Re:Svelte 5 Released on Sunday October 20, 2024 @04:57AM (#41894026)
I'm curious what users of Svelte think about https://qwik.dev, have many of you been tempted by it? There are a lot of similarities and both are great at keeping file sizes down with a great DX.
Re:Lit: Simple. Fast. Web Components on Friday July 21, 2023 @07:11AM (#36812420)
I'm not saying for one moment that it matters but one thing I was really surprised to learn was that lit (16.6kb) is actually larger than preact (11kB). With it taking advantage of Web Standards so well, I expected it would have a big advantage to be much smaller.

I had a go at doing this in Rust some time ago https://github.com/JamieMason/blurhash-to-css and there is also https://plaiceholder.co/.

Ahoy there Fancy Pants!

I've absolutely loved this series of games ever since I first played them as a kid in the 90s. I didn't think we'd ever see another MI Game with Ron Gilbert involved so for me this is wonderful news, I really can't wait for this to come out.

Is there a safety net? (Honest question from a European)
Re:Google Analytics 4 on Friday March 18, 2022 @04:33AM (#30719831)
Are there any competitors out there that can import historical data from Google Analytics? I've not checked, can you even export your historical data from GA?
Kudos, it looks excellent
Using a lockfile and checking in your dependency tarballs [1] can help insulate you from these problems until you're ready to face them.

I created shrinkpack before left-pad and thankfully it meant that we were unaffected.

A lot of developers, understandably, baulk at checking in dependencies, but there is a concrete benefit in being able to continue uninterrupted during outages.

https://github.com/LukasBombach/next-super-performance adds partial hydration to next. I was tempted by this some time ago, but ended up leaving it due to concern about straying too far off-piste from next itself.

I was caught out by the 2nd one too, I hit "English" expecting to be taken to the English version of the start of the Tour.
