You don't have to pretend that Claude Code's source code is lovely just because you like using it or are impressed by whatever madness is going on around AI right now.

Buddy. I've written COBOL. I spent several years working almost daily with a 3-million-line monstrosity of a COBOL program. I was working on another app that interfaced with it, but in that work I occasionally had to read the code and in a few cases modify it. Granted I haven't spent as much time looking at the leaked Claude Code source code (and won't lol), but nevertheless I confidently declare that Claude Code is worse. "Spaghetti code" doesn't come close to describing this thing.

So I just bought @nileane’s TinyStart launcher and, yep, it’s beautiful.

Minimalist in the best possible way. I’m keeping Spotlight around for the moment but already I’m not sure why I would use it for anything.

So lovely to see indie devs showing trillion-dollar corporations how it should be done.

🥳 New Kitten¹ Release

• Adds Kitten Introspection API

I’ll record a video this week demonstrating it.

Me: I really need to launch the things I’m building with Kitten¹ this year.

Also me: You know what would be sweet? If I added an introspection API to make working with the Kitten Shell (REPL)² easier.

(It is going to be sweet though. Prototyping it in the REPL now and I’ll record a little demo when I’m done and it’s released. It’s going to make examining and affecting the state of the client from the server interactively even easier.)

You know how you’re in the middle of a process and you refresh a web page and it loses state?

So that sucks.

With Kitten¹ – when using the new state-maintaining/class-based and event model-based component model – it’s easy to have flowing interfaces that animate between states, etc., that don’t lose state if you refresh the page (or open another tab).

What you can’t do on the Web, however, is restore the state of any cross-origin iframes. (As you have no visibility into their contents to take a snapshot, etc.)

This is something I ran into with the embedded Stripe component I’m using in Catalyst². Specifically, it has a success state that I want to restore so the interface, which uses selective disclosure and has animated to that step in the sign up process, doesn’t jump if you refresh it or look different if you open it in another tab.

So what do you do if you’re obsessed with making things work as well as possible?

Apparently, this:

1. You go and manually save the Stripe iframe’s HTML and relevant CSS

2. You notice that it is ~371KB in size and you sigh

3. You use a combination of automated and manual methods to whittle that down to a 4.2KB HTML/CSS snapshot of the state.

4. You make that into a Kitten component³ so you can set the bits that are dynamic⁴

5. You make sure that it matches the original exactly using PixelSnap 2 guides⁵ (see screenshot; and yes, I told you I’m obsessed) :)

6. Et voila!

🥳 New Kitten Release

• Fix: Events on `KittenComponent` hierarchies are now bubbled in reverse (from children down to parents). This provides for predictable event firing in cases where parents might emit events (e.g., a page emitting an event from its `onConnect()` handler). Your existing code should work as before with certain edge cases that might have broken before no longer breaking.

Enjoy!

💕

#Kitten #KittenReleases #SmallWeb #SmallTech #web #dev #events #serverSide #eventBased #components #hypermedia #streamingHTML

🥳 New Kitten Release

• `KittenComponent` (and thereby `KittenPage`) gains an `emit()` method.

Use this to bubble events from your page to all child components or from any component to all of its child components.

This is useful, for example, for setting the state of a page or a component where each child component knows how to present itself for that state.

(That, in turn, is useful if you want to be able to restore state based on URLs.)

The naming convention-based mapping of event names to event handler names is the same as for the events you receive from the client. So an event called `myEvent` will result in `onMyEvent` handlers on child components being called.

(Also update @small-web/kitten to version 7.1.0 to get language intelligence for the new method.)

Enjoy!

💕

#Kitten #KittenReleases #SmallWeb #SmallTech #web #dev #events #serverSide #eventBased #components #hypermedia #streamingHTML

🥳 New @small-web/kitten (Kitten globals) release.

• Improved type information.
• Now plays nice with tsconfig.json and tsc.
• Adds `rawBody` to `KittenRequest`.

This is not really a breaking change (in that it won’t break your apps) but I’m releasing it as a major version update so as not to surprise you if you notice the type information is different (more detailed than before).

To update in your kitten apps:
npm install @small-web/kitten@7

Peço desculpas pela demora, validando internamente de fato seria necessário o envio da documentação pela plataforma, logo seria necessário o aceite dos termos, infelizmente não conseguimos seguir de outra forma.

Eu estou impedido, mas, se alguém se dispuser a aceitar isso e, a partir daí, desenvolver sistemas que ofertem serviços a seus próprios clientes que, por sua vez, utilizariam apenas software livre, parece algo possível, segundo a documentação.

🥳 New Kitten¹ Release

• Adds `rawBody` to non-multipart POST requests.

This property, which is a Buffer, is necessary if you want to verify signatures (e.g., for webhooks).

I had to fork express-busboy as they already ruled out adding it. The fork (@small-web/kitten-busboy²) also allowed me to type the middleware extension point for Polka³ instead of Express (Kitten uses Polka) so that’s one @ts-ignore removed (hey, dev is a string of little wins) :)

Thanks to a work-in-progress Homebrew cask by Andi Péter (https://codeberg.org/GramEditor/gram/issues/15#issuecomment-11159294), I was just able to quickly install and play with the new Gram code editor (https://codeberg.org/GramEditor/gram#gram) – a fork of Zed with all the bullshit (AI, telemetry, etc.) removed that looks like it could be great editor to recommend both for people just learning to code (as I was, recently, to recommend for people learning Kitten¹) as well as seasoned programmers who don’t want to work in terminal.

And, as a bonus, it actually has a Helix Editor mode so if that’s your daily driver (raises hand), you can just use it like Helix (i.e., Helix Editor in a graphical shell).

If you want to try Andi’s build (only works on Mac at the moment and remember, you have to trust Andi):

🥳 New Kitten Release

I just reworked the fix for this to simplify the Kitten renderer (as this fix introduced a regression with components getting instantiated multiple times due to the fall-through logic between asynchronous and synchronous rendering). The renderer now treats every component render function as asynchronous, thereby avoiding the issue entirely.

https://kitten.small-web.org

Enjoy!

#Kitten #KittenReleases #SmalWeb #SmallTech #web #dev #components #async #rendering

Até então, realizava isso com um script que já tinha contribuído ao projeto e que executava manualmente quando queria atualizar a imagem que depois usaria neste servidor.

Outra novidade é uma variação "full" da imagem de contêiner que acrescenta os pacotes ffmpeg e imagemagick. Eles, recentemente, podem ser usados pelo snac, se isso for definido no server.json, para remover metadados EXIF de arquivos de imagens e vídeos enviados. O porém é que isso a torna praticamente 10 vezes maior: 60MB, em vez dos menos de 7MB da imagem padrão. Custo-benefício depende do gosto do freguês.

#FediAdminBR #dev #blambers

🥳 New Kitten Release

This one fixes a bug that you would have encountered had you had an asynchronous component (component with asynchronous render method) nested more than one-level deep within synchronous components.

(Kitten’s html renderer transparently supports both synchronous and asynchronous render methods.)

So, this (taken from my unit test), for example, works correctly now:

```js
class AsynchronousOtherName extends KittenComponent {
async html () {
await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 10))
return kitten.html`<i>Balkan</i>`
}
}

class SynchronousName extends KittenComponent {
/* NOT async */ html () {
return kitten.html`<strong>Aral</strong> <${AsynchronousOtherName.connectedTo(this)} />`
}
}

class SynchronousTemplate extends KittenComponent {
html ({ SLOT }) {
return kitten.html`[Before slot]${SLOT}[After slot]`
}
}

class MyPage extends KittenPage {
html () {
return kitten.html`
<${SynchronousTemplate.connectedTo(this)}>
<h1>This should render all at once after a short delay.</h1>
<p>Hello, <${SynchronousName.connectedTo(this)} /></p>
</>
`
}
}
```

🥳 New Kitten¹ release

• Added `initialise()` hook to `kitten.Component` instances.

This gets called at the end of the constructor and is handy if you don’t want to override the constructor and have to handle the `data` parameter and remember to call `super(data)`. You can still access passed data from `this.data`.

Note that the component is not part of the view hierarchy on the client at this point. If you have tasks you need to perform only once per page – for example, instantiating a child component to use in your view template – override the `onConnect()` handler instead which is guaranteed to be called just once when your component has successfully been added to a connected page.

If you’re looking for an ngrok alternative for tunnelling that is affordable and just works (e.g., with Kitten¹), I can highly recommend LocalXpose (https://localxpose.io/).

(Not affiliated with them in any way; just use their tunnels for testing with Kitten on a daily basis.)

PS. If you have a static IPv4 address for your dev machine or if your network is IPv6 compatible, you can now run secure servers on IP addresses, so that’s another option if you need your app to be universally accessible during dev/testing (e.g., for web hooks, etc.) without requiring any external services. But, for most of us, something like LocalXpose is essential and it’s the best I’ve found so far.
