extension.dev "Low code platform for developing custom browser extensions. Designed for business use: give your employees access to internal tools and data within the browser"

An interesting little application; from what I can tell written in a combination of Logo and Lisp. You can interactively edit the UI, etc.

Hit the 'Setup' then the 'Go' button to run the code (the source itself is hidden by the scrollbar in the main window).

(Oh, and it is a virus/Covid simulator)

I'll check it out, but your description reminds me of https://github.com/Hundredrabbits/Ronin

Chris Maughan 2021-11-01 15:02:31

Nope, Ronin is cool, but not the same thing. This is more like a code notebook with interactive widgets.

Kartik Agaram 2021-11-01 21:14:41

I see. Yeah. This is quite powerful. Perhaps even too powerful. But at first glance this looks like an end-user programming system! It fits everything I was looking for at https://futureofcoding.slack.com/archives/C5T9GPWFL/p1634445846387500

Hey everyone, we just wrote up an intro to Story.ai to gain a bit of intrigue into why we’re driven to build another tool for programming.

Please let me know what you think πŸ™‚

  • Too many references. Each cultural allusion only reaches a fraction of your audience, so if the goal is communication, I try to use simple language. (You might have other goals though. In which case I'm not qualified to comment..)
  • When I see a title with "...in 10 minutes" in the title, I expect it to have a set of steps I can follow in 10 minutes. Maybe you mean, "10 minutes at a time"?
Cole Lawrence 2021-11-02 17:35:07

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback Kartik Agaram.

Chris Knott 2021-11-02 20:27:59

The writing style is a little bit too "on", if you know what I mean. It would maybe work on stage with a Robin Williams style kind of manic delivery but it feels a little forced in text.

I love this paragraph;

So next time you ask your developer β€œhey can you pull this data, join it, let me pick some entries, make a dashboard, and send a summary to me monthly” just don’t ask the developer; ask the computer and have fun building it

And the 2. section on human language. I would pull that stuff right to the front because it just really captures your value and your distinguishing features.

Cole Lawrence 2021-11-02 20:29:36

Thanks, Chris Knott. These suggestions also make a lot of sense.

Lovely explorable explanation here:

That whole blog is 10/10 and has some of the best explorable explanations I've seen.

Rosaria Silipo on Codeless Deep Learning and Visual Programming

In this podcast, Srini Penchikala spoke with Dr. Rosaria Silipo on codeless deep learning and visual programming topics. with focus on low code visual programming to help data scientists apply deep learning techniques without having to code the solution from scratch.>

Rosaria Silipo is currently the head of data science evangelism at KNIME, the open-source data analytics platform. She is the author of over 50 technical publications, including books like Codeless Deep Learning with KNIME, Practicing Data Science: A Collection of Case Studies and A Guide to Intelligent Data Science.

what an awesome first name

Simon Peyton Jones of Haskell fame is going to work at Epic Games

will be working with my long-time colleague Lennart Augustsson and a team of others, on > Verse> . Verse is a new programming language that Epic is designing for their games, and in due course for the > metaverse

You can listen the CEO of Epic Games Tim Sweeney taling about the metaverse in 2019: Tim Sweeney and the Metaverse

Simon Peyton Jones :thumbsdown:

Epic bought the wrong dude.

Duncan Cragg 2021-11-07 22:16:04

Test: could you listen to Simon for an hour, or rather Tim? πŸ˜„

Duncan Cragg 2021-11-07 22:27:42

OK, confession, I bumped into Simon @ UCL in the '80s, and he must have made an impression on me cos I always remembered him and kept noticing his career after that. So, yes, I'm probably jealous πŸ˜„
