Consolidating

by Roy Revelt   ·   posted on Tuesday, 16 August 2022   ·   a thought

Our packages email-comb and html-crush had dedicated GUI websites and considerable amount of people have been using them. Over time, these two websites became hard to maintain; they were coded in vanilla JS without consistent components, tests and styling. Since they were created, a lot has changed; for example, Remix.js appeared and shook up everything. For example, the codsen.com theme toggle detects when a user switches the theme on the OS Preferences panel. There’s also no initial flash either. Those two old websites didn’t have this technology.

It took me a few weeks to recode them on codsen.comopens in a new tab. Five minutes ago, I set up the redirects:

  • https://emailcomb.comopens in a new tab to 301-redirect to https://codsen.com/os/email-comb/playopens in a new tab
  • https://htmlcrush.comopens in a new tab to 301-redirect to https://codsen.com/os/html-crush/playopens in a new tab

Plus, I created a playground for string-strip-htmlopens in a new tab; it didn’t have a domain before.

The next one is https://detergent.ioopens in a new tab — the final remaining dedicated library GUI website. I have a few ideas on further improving both the package and its GUI, so I kept them to the last.

2022-SEPT-11 update: detergent.ioopens in a new tab has been migrated to codsen.com playground.
