(not my site, just found it online - seems to be most popular/useful ask hn threads)


Writing articles about how to test frontend apps (mostly react based apps) at https://howtotestfrontend.com/ Adding some final bits to some new vitest browser mode content this week hopefully.


I find the jetbrains IDEs (like Webstorm) has the best UI interface for this. Selectively commit specific lines from your changes.


For VSCode-based editors I am a happy user of the "Stage selected ranges" command


Another excellent GUI is gitg. You can select specific lines for staging, but also for discarding. The latter is especially useful for temporary debug only changes that you want to throw away.


How about git-crecord?


magit can do that too.


Lazygit can do that too.


SmartGit can do that too


git-gui can do that too


For all the others, that is the built-in GUI.


tig can do that too


Wow, imagine this 10 years ago. It would never have been an option.

(Maybe WB acquiring Netflix...)


Same, it is a question of time.

For me, weekends only... I used to do a lot of freelance work (years ago...more than a decade ago), somehow I used to find more time then for side projects... with full time employment is is impossible to find the time.


This sort of older tech always amazes me. Also how insanely expensive ("or around $30.000 in 2025 money") it cost


Same even with the launch price of the original Apple computer. iirc some $4,000. Helps justify buying as much computer as you can afford for side projects/home research.


This is my guide on what Vitest Browser Mode is. It includes configuration/setup guide, example code, and a link to a demo repo with a working version https://github.com/howToTestFrontend/vitest-browser-mode-sta...


Vite. Vitest. Storybook. React.


I wonder how many of these vibe coding build apps will grow to massive apps/be really popular (I imagine a lot of them will)... and what kind of security vulns we'll see everywhere because of how it was initally built...

i can only imagine that services like described in this article will become a very common part of getting proof of concepts built with AI into production.....


The infamous "tea dating app leak" was (supposedly) organic home grown human slop, yet did this much damage.... We may see distrust for new apps and websites rise in few years after more people get burnt by things like this.

I wonder what it will be like in 5-10 years time to look back at this sort of time, as we start to figure out the next way to code...
