Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 04/10/2026"i like software freedoms except when i dont like how the software is freely used" is a take i will never tire of 1230

Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 21/09/2026your endpoint is reinventing what already existed and worked, themes, variables, media queries, hover states, pseudo elements, etc. the same way an imgui has to reinvent react once it gets big enough (except here that reinvention is glaringly obvious because the original sin is right there) 120
Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 21/09/2026it's where you get to when you fail to understand how we got here, why it's Like That, and throw mountains of browser optimisation and best practices out of the window because you're convinced w-full is easier to understand than width: 100% 130
Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 21/09/2026no, tailwind is a brilliant example of the same problem. it is a rejection of (and i'd wager, a failure to understand) the fundamental design principles of CSS, and in its place is a mountain of hacks, special cases and bad syntax to get you to exactly where you started but with a messier DOM 280
Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 21/09/2026the same applies when answering the question of "only updating when you need to" this flows both ways, e.g. trying to write a game hud in a purely retained context is similarly reinventing what an imgui gets you for free your battle is state, where it lives, how often it updates and who owns it 120
Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 21/09/2026to give a concrete example, creating a stable accessibility tree in an otherwise imgui environment involves... well. maintaining a tree and updating it with changes between renders congratulations, you have invented thr business side of react but worse 120
Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 21/09/2026these trade offs will naturally make your model work well in certain situations and terribly in others. attempts to fix one particular problem in the context of another set of trade offs will have you reinvent a large amount of what already exists, again, from scratch, often without realising 131
Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 21/09/2026every ui framework is a set of trade offs you make between performance, memory, and 12 different versions of "easy to write". there is no a perfect solution and there never will be, and when reinventing you will find yourself picking between the same set of trade offs 141
Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 21/09/2026as soon as anybody says "efficiency is easy. only update when you need to" you are about to write the business end of react, badly, run 060
Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 21/09/2026it's not inherently anti imgui but imgui people tend to fall into the "reinventing the wheel" group the hardest 120
Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 21/09/2026the sooner we drill into developers why winforms, xaml, flutter, react, swiftui, the DOM are all Like That the better the world will be 2111

Wam ✨ @wamwoowam.co.uk · 16/09/2026slightly terrifying that there's not a lot in ReLive that i don't have _an_ answer for. only wider testing will answer if they're the _right_ answers, but... there are answers 020
