Static sites are just superior and i feel like we are going to see a huge shift to SSGs once the average editors realize how much easier it is to have LLMs enter markdown maybe with a bit of html to create their blog posts/articles than to bother with a CMS.
Yeah change tracking didn’t work at all for me. The only way it works is if I dont define outputs. Haven’t looked into it, but jdx is very receptive to PRs so you might want to open one. I assume it can’t be that hard to fix.
How is it more pleasant than the others? I've used make and nix, but not extensively. They seemed fine. Make seemed extremely powerful if a little rough on the edges at times. Nix was not super intuitive and I was never content with it before leaving it behind. That was probably a me-problem, because I could tell it was very capable and designed well in some ways.
I came from dealing with various node / ruby / python versions across multiple projects where I used nvim / rbenv and some python manager. Miss is nice as you can just switch to it and not relearn anything, it just works with the old configs.
I haven’t tried make with our setup but nix was too much of a hassle. Especially when some projects required old versions of libraries across dev (macOS) and staging/prod for various Linux OS.
When you have workflows that you repeat over and over it’s easier to formalize with something like jido. Ie if you don’t want to type into a checkbox and verify output everytime.
I always thought it was native. You can write extensions using React, yes, but I was under the impression those got compiled to their internal Swift-based UI components
