**💄The girl who did what we couldn't...
**You know, I rarely experience professional jealousy: it's when someone has achieved what I can only dream of.
And for me, it's: (1) creating used Open Source, (2) and making money from it.
Alas, no matter how many attempts I've made, I usually end up stuck in an infinite loop of iterations over this Open Source (and it has some very cool consequences, which I'll tell you about later)
And then I stumbled upon her... Alyssa X (and no, this link is not to her OnlyFans... although I'd be very happy if someone bought native ads on OnlyFans from me)
What's so special about her?
– She's created a bunch of Open Source projects that got huge ratings on Product Hunt – Each project took her around a few months – Most of them are really valuable (for example, I started using this one) – All the projects are somehow related to visual editors in the browser (and that's not an easy task)
AND NOW IT'S JUST MIND-BLOWING
Almost all of these projects are written in pure JS... with jQuery... each repository is just 1 HTML, 1 CSS, and a set of JS scripts... example
The advantages are: (1) her code is super procedural and similar to C (which I personally love about JS), (2) this approach undoubtedly allows her to achieve maximum speed and responsiveness without the fear of "rendering too much", since she controls every rendering cycle.
The disadvantages are: maintaining such a project is quite difficult, because half of the code is rendering to the DOM, which is what libraries like React and Vue take care of for us.
In short, a very interesting character, I subscribed to everything I could to follow her successes, I hope she starts monetizing her projects (because right now everything is free), and it's always interesting to see how people create something truly grand from the simplest things
In short, I'm jealous, but with warmth in my heart 🖤
