Brane Notes

• Currently facing a slight bottleneck.
• Let's not explore ShadowRealm and iframe Sandbox for now.
  • Therefore, postponing the multitasking demo for now.
• API Shimming will be hard enough. Shim (computing) - Wikipedia

This week's goal

• Explore SharedArrayBuffer, Atomic, and WorkerDOM's Binary DOM manipulation.
  • WorkerDOM's Binary DOM control is not SAB-based.
• WorkerDOM cannot handle synchronous data exchange.
• Solving this is our key priority right now.

Therefore,

• Objective: Swap WorkerDOM's data transfer layer with SharedArrayBuffer + Shim Core DOM APIs.
• Key Results: Let's try modifying DOM actions on the host side.

Note that:

• This may require a server to swap out DOM actions.
  • For example, perform console.log when a button is clicked.
  • Instead of appending the code, change the behavior of the DOM.
• ShadowDOM is already available on WorkerDOM.
• Forced Shutdown and Preloading are all multitasking features.
• Investigate how WorkerDOM terminates an application. This is a Web Spec.
• Especially, try implementing synchronous Layout properties—for example, Framer Motion.
  • To push the limits, we can try Kakao Map SDK (or any Map SDK like Open Layer)
  • This will essentially verify three facts:
    1. Can we synchronously pass Layout properties?
    2. Can we properly extract and process external scripts?
    3. Can we shim geolocation APIs?

Personal Notes

• PARA
• Extracranial.
  • Found an interesting article Zettelkasten, Roam, Obsidian, RemNote, Notion, and Cong does not work as expected by Olaf Wolkenhauer
  • While it provides an excellent birds-eye view of the Digital Zettlekasten ecosystem, it does not offer any further insights on how to improve Digital Zettlekasten.
• In the same vein, I am reading Building a Second Brain these days.
• Would love to dissect Andy Matuschak's work...
• You Are Not Google.
  • In essence — Try not to overcomplicate.
• Got Tailscale recommended from work. Quote, Best VPN for developers.
