French software engineer 🇫🇷. Building Luna Park (https://luna-park.app), a visual scripting platform with Vue / Typescript 💚
I swear, I’m trying to use AI in my day-to-day dev, but it keeps generating massive, over-engineered code for simple problems that could be solved in 10x fewer lines. And bad code too. I feel left behind, I don't understand how people manage to be actually more productive with this...
🎶 Le voilà, Albator, le capitaine corsaire ! Il revient ! 🎶 Bon ça fait un moment que je m'étais transformé en lurker sur Bluesky, je reviens 😎 ! Et j'ai aussi décidé de lancer une petite chaîne youtube où je raconte mes (grosses) avancées et mes (petites) galères 🤫. youtu.be/T1pXBEeDc18
On lance notre logiciel après 5 ans de dev | Luna Park

We're diving into education with @luna-park.app. Since we had so much great feedback from students and teachers, we held a workshop at an engineering school to introduce SQL and database queries using our visual editor and our gamified approach. The result was outstanding, students loved it!
I just updated the landing page of Luna Park 🥳 (yes, again)! It's fresh out of the oven: luna-park.app My big concern was that people did not quite get the difference between no-code and visual scripting... So I replaced the list of features with building arguments. I'm open to any feedback :3 !
I know the "if-else" pattern is a lot more common and simpler when there are few conditions, but I'm starting to really like this "switch(true)" pattern. I feel it's easier to read when there are a lot of conditions. Wdyt?
I just validated the 1st day of #AdventOfCode using my visual scripting platform (luna-park.app/advent). Works pretty well 😎
This December, I'll attempt the #AdventOfCode 🎄 with two objectives: - Learning Rust (it's been long overdue) - Proving some levels can be done with visual scripting I have no problem completing it with TypeScript or C++. The challenge is not about algorithms, but languages.
Working on the menu bar of the desktop version of @luna-park.app! It's weird to compare desktop apps with web apps... For example, there's usually no cursor change on a menu bar. Would it be better to keep the default cursor? Or keep the "standard" UX rule of webdev and use a pointer cursor?
Short break on the tutorial level design, I HAVE to build that desktop version of Luna Park... So here it goes using @tauri.app (I love it so much) For now, I just have the launch screen, but it's taking shape. Next step is to use the file system to open/save projects.
If you want to take a shot at the new version of my tutorial/game/learning thing, here's a sneak peek 🤫... luna-park.app/challenge
Still working on my tutorial. I implemented a system of popups and highlights to give specific explanations on any part of the editor 😄. I mainly used Vue's <Teleport> component, and Vue-Use useElementBounding() utility.
Working on the next version of luna-park.app tutorial. This map with levels will introduce all the features available, from frontend building to algorithmic and deployment 😄 ! Hopefully, this will be ready for December 🤞.
