Is there a repo link to checkout and explore how this all came together? Since using Cursor, been dabbling about getting back into coding areas I've always had some interest in in the past but never developed into a hobby project; Swift is at the top of list.
Nice site, would you be putting it on GH at some point? I'm very interested, no, captivated by simple projects like this using FastAPI and want to learn that
Am I misreading or are there no translations to pure JS available specifically for collections? The ease of being able to do "what i think I want to do in my head" with a collection using a one-liner often is the primary reason I'd use anything Lodash-y in the first place. The fact that I can import those methods directly to my projects and forget about the guilt of bundling the rest of the library really have kept Lodash top of mind for me for years.
I have found that not so much when writing my own projects and tinkering, but specifically for "real" work (at my job) is when I have to deal with iterating over collections all the time. Anything less readable than Lodash is just overly annoying thanks to JS verbosity. Most people wouldn't remember to pull these methods out of a utils directory that we maintain simply for the purpose of ignoring packages like Lodash.
By a collection, I'm talking about an array of objects that follow the same pattern.
I can understand how what I personally find engaging can be banal and unnecessary to others, but with this case I can't think of anything that would serve as a more fitting opening metaphor for the entire essay. The chunky wine opener that serves its intended purpose and was a gift, but lays taking up an incongruent amount of space for its intended use invites some observation on all the other unused-but-still-owned stuff that we're forced to either continue possessing or send along to the trash.
I guess some (not implying you) might consider the observations somewhat shallow, and maybe they would find the solution to be "simple". Just throw more stuff out.
Have you seen the engineered "glasses" [1] designed to help combat motion sickness during long trips by car, boat, or train? The idea is that there are liquids injected into the "frame" which help create an artificial horizon of sorts, which is designed to trick your brain into smoothing out the mixed messages your movement sensors otherwise get from vibrations and motions.
Of course, they do look a little silly and they don't directly help with the "shaken up" feeling you're trying to avoid, but it would be an interesting test to go against what the article claims is a 95% effectiveness against motion sickness.
