Haiku Insider website launched

I really like what I see so far! :sunglasses:

wow, Flipboard - I didn’t realize anyone still uses it! I worked there a number of years ago on the 4.0 launch.

Also - nice looking website, @DigitalBox !

Quite happy about the interest.
I’m currrenlty have enough material to plan articles on a daily basis (sometime they are short, others have more content)

Stay tuned for this week end : the debbuging land will not be anymore a secret for you :stuck_out_tongue:

Ahoy @DigitalBox

From the article - about ChatGPT - the following sentence :

“… Recently, someone also used Claude AI to generate some screensavers for Haiku.”

… from the below Github link , I can easily identify for you, who did it …

Let me introduce you

Gerasim Troeglazov, senior BeOS/Haiku application developer / porting contributor from Russia !

aka @3dEyes here and there :j

Otherwise ,

Thank you for your efforts !.. :chocolate_bar:

Bookmarked in Webpositive -

:cowboy_hat_face:

Yes Indeed, I have corrected the article :slight_smile:

Is’nt this sort of overkill? An few articles per week are better to follow, at least for me.
Thank you for your work and effort.

Nice work there, when I was reading the feed earlier today I noticed that our NetBeans package was outdated, that should be fixed shortly once buildmaster is done (for 64bit). :+1:

Also did a bit of advertising on mastodon. :slight_smile:

Great, I didn’t know about NetBeans IDE.
And thanks for the advertising!

I’m pushing to provide daily basis articles (not easy but not impossible) as there are enough material to talk about for the moment.
Once the website will raise a “critical mass” of content, then the frequency and the categories will be adjusted :slight_smile:

I’d like to see something like a Haiku API Code Sampler of the Month type article once a month. Something like that could peak some interests amongst the folks interested in developing Haiku apps.

I plan first to talk about scripting under Haiku as I find some interesting usages.

The idea to talk about the Haiku API is great but a bit more complex :
I was thinking to focus on a regular basis on a selected pre-installed app to review which part of the API is used by the sources of the app. This kind of article is feasible.

And if volunteers would like to propose their own API articles, they are welcome as the website is open to other’s contributions.

If you don’t want to bother anymore with your password to connect to your SSH server on Haiku, you can check the article which will be published today about public/private keys for SSH :wink:

Thank you @DigitalBox for making the Haiku Insider website! For me its a bit like the Betips site from days long gone. I visit ‘HI’ a couple of time a week and read all new articles. Well done Sir and keep up the good work!

Tomorrow on Haiku Insider :
Behind the Scenes : porting NifSkope

It’s one of the longest article made so far, because it’s showcasing the port from scratch until the package creation via HaikuPorts and all the pitfalls encountered.

A so long article is an exception - as it takes a lot of time-, so don’t hesitate to put a few comments on the blog once the article will be there:)

I might be looking in the coming weeks for an alternative to the current wordpress free hosting.

After searching what is existing today around for free hosting, I find the nice hashnode.com which is proposing the possibility to upload images for the articles and no ad (which is better than wordpress)

Any suggestion on other existing alternatives ?

A basic free service: prose · pico.sh

Hashnode doesn’t really look any better than Wordpress.
Their homepage scores 100 points in the modern marketing bullshit bingo,with stuff about AI nonsense everywhere,and SEO of course,that one never gets old.
Uhm,also have a look what they’re trying to embed,quite scary,no?

Prose,on the other hand,is exactly the opposite.
Looks like a nice lightweight no-bullshit solution made by nerds,for nerds.
Having to choose between those two,I’d definitely go with Prose.
I’m sure I’ve seen more small and friendly services like Prose before,but now that I need them,I can’t find them again :confused:

Another alternative would be choosing some free webhosting service with PHP support and install a lightweight open-source CMS that you then manage yourself.
That gives you most control about your site and usually allows for an easy migration if you ever have to switch your hosting provider again.
Speaking of open-source CMS,you should definitely have a look at https://www.bludit.com which is simply great!
I have experience with it through a news website for which I regularly wrote in the past.
It’s really simple to use,the site looks clean and lightweight,but it still offers everything you need,including formatting options,image uploads and so on.

Thanks for these details.
I’ve already have a main webhosting at PlanetHoster for other things, and I’ve just noticed I can add additional hosting accounts :slight_smile:
So I will have a look at that “bludit” possibility too

I use prose for my personal blog. I highly recommend it. The only slight drawback is lack of comment support, but I have hacked together something on my website (https://ebruce.dev).

@DigitalBox

It is not correct that the your article about image magick states that there is no gui application for image magick on haiku.

Would be nice if this would be corrected.
