been having a bit of a frustrating time with the GUI stuff... for God only knows what reason, the wasm gio script with the current version of gogio, which generates builds for other platforms (including ios and android) doesn't play nice with my brave browser... probably some crap in the script that brave blocks well, thankfully i have another one that works: https://images.mleku.dev/birb/ which was the beginnings of a chat app i was going to build and because using the web-file-serving standard functions didn't seem to actually serve properly, i wrote handlers that just serve up the relevant files that have been embedded in the binary this also meant i am able to save the working index.html and wasm.js files it needs in different names, and load them instead of the crap ones that the stupid gogio tool creates, and i just set them to ignore on git, point the embeds at the ones that work, and voila so, 3 hours later, i'm finally in a position to start working on the actual GUI i decided to start working on thank the Lord i was able to find a path through this abysmal nonsense presumably once again because gio has such a small, very part time dev group working on it, they are always cocking things up but i've now got all the latest of everything, without the limitations that made me decide to rage quit the gio slack, after giving them a piece of my mind (this isn't the first time i've complained about their infernal encapsulated but essential parts of their widget toolkit) and it doesn't matter now, i have a path through and i can now build a web app in pure go to interact with #realy

gonna make a bunker first started by trying to work with fiatjaf's abominations... i was amused to see that he has added a signer interface a lot like the one i made, except crappy #ragecoding is when everyone who writes stuff that should be good, sucks a giant fat goats testicles, writes like shit, can't architect for shit, so you have to do it yourself

it's such unclear, undocumented horseshit, i can't believe anyone thinks he writes good code, it's the most awful shit, i bet he vibe codes this shit now too, ugh

i'm actually starting with cleaning up nip-46 first so i don't have to use that shit the way it was written with things going string -> bytes -> string for no reason whatsoever, only because laziness and not knowing how to use append and shit maybe some day i will fully rewrite this but for now just to remove the stupid fucking string conversion everywhere when all the encryption is done using FUCKING BYTES

lol, just rewriting one of the functions and he chooses to use two slices, one of strings, one of a structure, and has all this rigmerole for searching the two slices using a fancy new binary search function fiatjaf, my dude, there's this thing called a map, it does binary searches, you mutex it anyway so you might as well use this funny little data structure that is usually a string and an arbitrary data type, it's called a fucking map literally 40 lines of code to do what only takes 15, it's such awkward code i got lulled into a trance at first and then snapped out of it when i realised what it was actually doing doin nothin to change my poor opinion of your ability to write code, this is an abomination

and over and over again i see him mixing between pointers and values and i'm like, lol, obviously mister the nostr doesn't know that causes a copy, and most of the fields are strings, so there's also some memory management shit going on with marking the memory immutable after writing the copy major core rule of writing efficient code is avoiding copying anything. pointers are just 64 bits, the referenced data does not need to be copied if it is only being used in one thread you should not be implicitly copying data all the time without considering the garbage pile you are making

it had been such a long time since i had to tangle with his spaghetti that i forgot how much i had fixed it up i'm not just copying it across and trying to untangle it tho, for this kind of dogshit you have to write it again, with the benefit of being able to sorta follow along refactoring too much at once is impossible, you need to build it up piece at a time once you figure out what it means, because poking at anything tugs at everything else
