This is an idea that is not ON or OFF

You can get ever so gradually stricter with your types which means that the operations you perform on on a narrow type is even more solid

It is also 100% possible to do in dynamic languages, it's a cultural thing


Will this make OpenAI profitable?

What's the expected revenue from this?


Yes, but the person who understands a lot of the system is invaluable

Yea, I enjoy being the engineer

A rare occurrence these days. I suppose a lot of it has to do with shrinking attention spans and instant gratification and the lack of effort required to do so many things that required even a little bit of effort before

I started reading books again and deleted Tiktok since I noticed my attention bad had gotten so bad. Can't imagine people GROWING UP with this stuff. My parents were worried I played runescape too much when I was young but compared to Tiktok that's some advanced stuff.

Same. The process (and all of its struggles) is an inseparable part of the satisfaction.

give me an example of EPA regulation that needs to be eliminated

those describe server APIs

how would it relate to ui?


OpenAPI is a superset of JSON Schema. You can look at properties in JSON Schema and turn that into UIs.

For instance, strings would get a text box, enums would get a dropdown, etc., with validation and everything.

Check this out as an example: https://prismatic.io/docs/jsonforms/playground/


ugh this looks dated even by 2016 standards

when will developers learn UI actually matters

bootstrap was a mistake, and lowered the bar for everyone


I might be missing something, but was this project started in 2016? I'm not sure what line in the sand you're drawing. That was some minima for developers "knowing UI actually matters" I presume?



I would advise refraining from posting sick owns like this in your own Show HN threads.


This looks infinitely better than yet another, generic web styling framework. Not sure what kind of "gotcha" you've implied here. Also, the page consumes 10x time less resources.


i wish :(


this isn't technically vibe coding right? this is just like using llms here and there for details you don't care to learn more about


My personal definition/interpretation would be if it's more than 50% of the project's code/work, even if one is reviewing the code (to whatever extent).


xpath is so fucking cool

i can understand why it failed for general use, but shit like this revives my excitement

q: i'm not an expert, this looks like it extends xpath syntax? haven't seen stuff like the /map is this referring to the html map element? or a fp-style map?


I think xpath is cool too!

If wxpath can help revive some of that excitement, then I consider my project a success.

As for your question, while wxpath does extend the xpath syntax, `/map` is not one of its additions, nor is it a html map element.

XPath 3.1 introduced first-class maps (and arrays) (https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-31/#id-maps), and `/map` is the syntax to create said structure. It's an awesome feature that's especially useful for quickly delivering JSON-like objects.


sick, ty


XPath may have "failed" for general use but it's generally well-enough supported that I can find a library in the common languages I've used when I went looking for it. In some ways the hard part is just knowing it exists so you can use it if you need it.


Couldn't agree more.

I should also add that most (Python-based) web crawling and scraping frameworks support XPath engines OOTB: Scrapy, Crawlee, etc. In that sense, XPath is very much alive.


Maps were added in XPath 3.1 -- https://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-31/#id-maps.

There's currently work on XPath 4.0 -- https://qt4cg.org/specifications/xquery-40/xpath-40.html.


Once we grow up as a nation and legalize competing app stores on native Android and iOS you can try to make this point

However, the alternatives are currently illegal, so your point doesn't hold


Then they're not really alternatives, are they?


technically jailbreak stores count, but not practically comparable
