The front page of reddit (not logged in) is 11 MB, logged in it is 17 MB for me (variable based on media-heavy subreddits and ads). Facebook's login page is 8 MB. Hell, Google's front, once a bastion of efficiency (long since fallen), is 9 MB.
It's sad how 19 MB now doesn't even register for me in today's bloated web.
I do appreciate that it puts up a warning instead of starting automatically, maybe not so much for the 19MB part, but for the fact that it plays sound.
Taler is cool but different. Wero is about moving money from your bank account to someone else’s bank account using a phone number to identify the recipient.
It is very similar to many other mobile money systems. What make it different is that it is pan European
Taler is about moving money without necessarily using a bank account
Wero is a long way from pan-European. It operates in three countries so far. We already have a similar thing in the Nordics (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland) called Vipps that uses one's phone number. You can also use it to pay in shops much as one uses Google Wallet or Apple. It's been in operation in Norway for over ten years.
Vipps MobilePay is already part of EPI's initiative towards pan-European cooperation, as well as Bancomat (Italy), Bizum (Spain), SIBS (Portugal).
Once Wero becomes usable in Austria, France, Germany, Benelux, and interoperable with those, the few remaining players will have a strong incentive to join.
I see, yeah I use Next.js pretty regularly, you mean on hot reload then?
You still need to write your content as Markdown or something else, right? I feel the editors of Substack give some nice features like shortcuts for bold, italics. What do you do about that?
I did a WASM port of the shareware from https://github.com/fabiangreffrath/wolf4sdl playable at https://midzer.de/wasm/wolfenstein/
