I think they are bundling this into their regular app, so they’d have to put every guardian read on the list😅

Ok, so it’s an encrypted, open source whistle-blowing feature in their app / system.

The article is light on technical details but if it makes whistleblowing easier and safer than for example emailing their editors that’s probably a good thing.

Context for people who don’t get the joke, the logo on the right is for Tailwind, a library that offers an alternative to using normal CSS for styling Web UIs and websites.

It provides you with microclasses that add flexbox, margins, shadows etc. and discourages you from using the “Cascading” part of CSS (which was likely a mistake imo)

Ultimately, it’s still CSS under the hood which is the joke.

I’ve been on that platform since 2014. It’s a mix of an anime tracker and a Facebook-like social media site. Used to be called Hummingbird.

It’s alright, if a bit dated.

Of course, but OOP is typically about putting methods on classes, inheritance of behaviour etc.

JS Objects aren’t typically used that way, they tend to be used as pure data containers. At least, that’s how we mostly use them.

Occasionally, we’ll use objects to simplify passing multiple arguments including arrow functions, but I’d say that doesn’t really count unless the arrow function mutates the object it’s a part of.

I’ve worked on projects with 10 000+ lines of typescript and maybe 3 classes total.

I’d been using Geometric Weather for many years, and I noticed a few weeks ago that it was misbehaving, not fetching data sometimes. I didn’t realise it had not had an update for almost 3 years!

I had switched to Google’s weather app, but maybe I’ll switch to this instead. Thanks for the heads-up.

For React, you can use React Router. That doesn’t mean you’ll do it well though.

It’s tough.

As someone who has used this app for at least 6 years, I am very sad to see this happen.

I’m surprised they weren’t able to get away with it after the change in extensions a couple versions ago. By not shipping extensions that have copyrighted content that should have been enough, similar to how emulators, services like Plex and torrenting applications survive.

It’s effectively just a comic / manga reader that can be used for piracy when the right extensions are added.

Apparently that wasn’t enough, and I can’t blame open source devs for not wanting to start a legal battle with a profit-earning company.

For now, the app does allow you to add external repository’s (list of extensions for various sources) that are still being updated, and I believe there are at least a few forks of the project that will survive for now.

All I can say is great work to the dev team for sticking with us until now and I wish you luck in your future ventures.

As annoying as this is, you are meant to use a comparer.

mapped.sort((a, b) => {
  if (a.value > b.value) {
    return 1;
  }
  if (a.value < b.value) {
    return -1;
  }
  return 0;
});
