James Little's Programming Stream

Hi! Thanks for checking out my stream. I'm James Little.

On stream, I work on Stork Search, an open-source web search tool I wrote. It's written in Rust that compiles to WebAssembly. Feel free to ask questions or just say hi!

You can use the following commands in chat: !today, !stork, !desk, or !commands to see a list of all the commands.

All historical streams have been uploaded to Youtube, under this playlist.

Where to find me on the web:

Tech Stack

  • I stream from an M1 Macbook Pro. Sometimes I screen share my iPad Air and draw some diagrams. When I stream, You're only seeing a small portion of my entire monitor.
  • I'm using Visual Studio Code, iTerm 2, and Dash for docs.
  • I switch windows using Raycast hotkeys.
  • Music is by Streambeats.
  • I wrote a blog post about my setup if you want to read more about that.

This Github Issue: jameslittle230/stork#142

2021-01-10

  • The stork.register() function does a lot! I want to try splitting it into discrete steps (loading WASM, loading an index, and attaching to elements), and exposing methods to users so you can control which step gets run when.
  • Adding stork.debug object to make debug info visible in the web control area.
