Preparing a blog post on progamming minimalism and in the process built a new app based on the principles I keep finding myself align with more and more.
Introducing Sipp.so
Many of you might remember when I released Snippets and even turned it into a mini app. While it did have all the bells and whistles, it was also slow, bloated, and depended on too many external factors. Sipp is a minimal code sharing app that is built soley on top of Bun and is designed to be self hosted. You can still deploy it on different platforms or even use this hosted instance, but the idea is you can run this and truly own the files, and perhaps put it under your custom domain like sipp.stevedylan.dev.
Since it's purely Bun, html, css, js, and the builtin sqlite module, Sipp is incredibly fast and efficient. With my own personal usage and testing on a entry DO droplet, it runs 2% of the CPU and only 50mb of memory while idle. The codebase is pretty well commented out and simple enough that you can customize it yourself, add new features, and truly build the experience you want.
Every day that goes by, the more that I experience, this is what personal software should feel like. We'll see where the road goes.

If you wanted super simple you could also do stateful URLs for snippets less than a certain character length 🤓

as not a developer, I look at this app and think "damn, i want to put my rinse-and-repeat architectural product specs in there"
I have no idea what that means, but the simplicity and assumed speed is refreshing
