Scripting News: Tuesday, December 9, 2025

Ben Werdmuller wrote a new perspective on RSS. It's great, just what we need. RSS is of the web, and is the simplest most obvious way to get all the twitter-like systems connected. #
One thing I realized I should point the ActivityPub folks to. I implemented Inbound RSS for WordPress. I was going to request it as a feature from the WordPress community, then realized I could write it fairly quickly with the system I already have built. After all, FeedLand already supports Inbound RSS, that's a lot of what it does, as a feed reader, esp along with the websocket interface it has. I already have complete code for writing to a WordPress site, that's a big part of what WordLand does. WordPress does a fantastic job of outbound RSS, but why not inbound? If Substack, for example, supported inbound, we'd all be using their mail distribution systems, and sharing revenue. Here's the source code, MIT license, so party on, Wayne. #
Idea: I could probably hook WordLand up to GitHub pretty easily. It's really good at Markdown, btw.#
I've found that the twitter-like social networks I'm part of have slowed down to almost nothing. Have you experienced something similar? Here's a link to my accounts on mastodon, bluesky, github, twitter. Tell me what you see. #

Learn to write insanely good composables in Vue

图片
If you're using Vue 3, you're probably using composables. But other than using VueUse where you can, how do you get the most out of them? Over the past few years I've been slowly putting together a list of patterns and best practices for how to write composables in the best way. ​ I've spent hours reading the source code of VueUse (one of the best — but most time-consuming — ways to learn it). ​ I've read articles, listened to talks, and written lots and lots of my own code. I ended up with 15 different patterns, and each one will help you to write better composables. ​ I've condensed and put all of these composables together into a course — Composable Design Patterns. ​ Get Composable Design Patterns now. ​ Because this is the launch, it's on sale for 35% off until Thursday. For each of the 15 patterns in this course, you'll get: A concise overview that tells you when and how to use it, along with variations and edge cases ...

The magic of scoped slots in Vue ✨ (3/4)

Hey! In yesterday's email I shared what I think is the key feature to making Vue components highly reusable: Scoped slots. But scoped slots are hard to grasp, and even more difficult to master. So today, we're going to make sure we understand them on a deep, intuitive level. Then, I'm going to introduce you to the magic ✨ of scoped slots. The trick is to think of them as functions. Slots are just functions We're going to recreate the functionality of slots, but we'll use a regular Javascript function that only returns HTML. This is the code we'll replicate: <!-- Parent --> < template >   < div  class = "modal-container" >     < div  class = "modal" >       Content in the Parent       < Child  class = "mb-4"  v-slot = "{ text }" > ...
