My goal is a minimalist editing experience, tailored for exactly those tasks that I do regularly, and nothing more. In this post, I’ll give a brief tour of my...

Combined with dataclasses, they provide support for a style of programming that I’ve employed in Kotlin and Typescript at work. That style in turn is based on what I’d do in OCaml or Haskell, like modelling data with algebraic data...

In the last post I shared the results from testing TodoMVC implementations using WebCheck. The project has since been renamed Quickstrom (thank you, Tom) and is now released as open source.
