And the wait is over! Check out my *first* #YouTube video:
Introducing #HydroActive, an experimental #WebComponent library for easily adding hydration and reactivity to pre-rendered HTML.
I walk through the motivation for the library, the #UX and #DX I'm trying to create, and then show a whole bunch of demos and how they work. I learned a lot building this library and I hope it's interesting and useful to you too!
Several of the demos I showed are already out of date or soon will be (`unobserved()` was a terrible idea and I'm even less happy with `$.asyncEffect()` than when I started). Looking forward to seeing what people think, and if this low-tooling hydration approach has any legs to stand on.
I'd love to see web development get simpler and I think this is one path towards making that happen in a very performance-minded way.
I've been wanting to do this for a while and had to learn a lot of video production to get there. It's still *very* rough around the edges (audio setup is particularly inconsistent and I don't know how to fix it), but hopefully good enough to be passable without making you want to gouge your eyes and ears.
I'm not really trying to be a #YouTuber, but I do think videos can be a very powerful tool for communication and I want to make sure I have solid access to it. If anyone has suggestions on improving A/V quality, #editing, #a11y, etc. I'm happy to listen and learn.
There are at least a dozen things which are painfully wrong to me, half of which I could fix but wanted to get it out before the holiday break. Hopefully I can improve this going forward and make awesome videos!
@develwithoutacause if you haven't yet - I highly recommend OBS Studio, I use it for those remote zoom/teams calls too.
@develwithoutacause I think it looks fine, I was more referencing OBS features like chroma-keying rather than setting changes.
@hexorg Ah yeah, maybe someday I'll upgrade to a proper green screen, starting out simple for now to see if people like the content itself before I go too deep.
