Thanks to @abeeshake456, our changelogs now show the author of changes (linking to their github profile where possible), which also means that Ash Weekly should show who did what, increasing visibility of our contributors. Great work!
hapësirë - quote collection with a simple API
a quotes/sayings/proverbs collection with a simple API made with 💜, Ash, Plug and Slime - https://hapesire.kira.computer/
there is a personal coding challenge that i started randomly almost 4 years ago. the main point is to make a CLI utility that fetches random quotes and sayings from one API, formats them in an unsophisticated way: basic colors with ANSI codes and text wrapping by specific width. basically i've been making the same utility in different programming languages preserving the style and some key features
however this API is really and i mean really old and has some problems like malformed json responses - apostrophes are escaped for some reason while double quotes are not. i haven't noticed the second issue in all these years until recently. how would you fix unescaped double quotes inside a string in some JSON? by reinventing the wheel with too much effort and pain... and fixing escaped apostrophes was not a problem for me
a few weeks ago i was going to make the same utility in Gleam. i paused and thought for a moment on how i would tackle this issue with malformed JSON responses? by using XML or plaintext responses instead (again)? after a quick search for libraries, i got annoyed, frustrated and angry thinking of making such an API myself (there are no other good alternatives)...
