Snippet Pixie: Next – Improved connection status and input focus handling | Always Developing #189

Improve connection/no connection detection and handling in the Wails and Svelte based GUI app.

Enable autofocus and select of text in Svelte input component, trickier than expected due to update timing.

Live coding an app with Go and SvelteJS.

Before starting every work day, I do half an hour or so of noodling on side projects, making sure to keep them moving forward, albeit slowly.

Working on these side projects is how I learn new programming languages, frameworks and technologies.

Chances are I’ll fail miserably each and every day, so at the very least you can take comfort in seeing a so-called senior developer fumbling through some development with little success.
