My man did the thing I've been waiting for for years. Im getting emotional rn

First time I am interested in web development. Thanks Paul :)

Amazing! Simple and so clever! Thanks so much, Paul, learning every time!

This is great Paul! I've recently started working on my personal website and was looking into SSGs. Imagine my surprise when I came across this video

Bravo! Couple of weeks ago i was making html + css code work in swift project, and doesn't even think that it can be done that way. Awesome, as always.

Awesome video Paul! I will try it out for my new blog, thank you! (And great explanation of Result builders 👏🏻)

Paul Hudson you are a mad genius. Great ideas, great video.

Watching this video on my way to Japan, so well done !

Never thought I’d see this day. Awesome!

Very cool! Could this be used with Vapor to dynamically generate HTML pages entirely in Swift?

Aye what!? Never thought that this would ever be a thing... Im going to start as soon as I can...

Awesome work with your Ignite project. I also see that it is actually meant to build static website, any change that it could be use for generating server-side website in future ?

So if I want to make some changes in my html code (eg, text), do i have to compile the XCode app every time to see the changes? In html files, we don't need to compile our Node.js or any web app!

Amazing work. Lot of thanks.

Paul, You're The Best! I'am gonna try it!

Such a nice job bro! Job well done 😮🎉

This is awesome idea. I was thinking about this while learning 100 days swift project on embabed html in swift.

I usually don’t leave comment, but you get my attention. Well Done Man 👍🏻

This is cool. This is one step closer to freeing me from the JS ecosystem.

This is amazing I will defenitly switch from dart to swift

And is this adaptable to Vapor, or similar Swift based web frameworks for dynamic HTML?

That reminds me John Sundell's "Publish" which can be used to generate HTML Websites with Swift Code... Very similar but more intuitive. :) Thanks Paul.

"But what happens if I forget this closing ?" You mean, just like you forgot the closing ? Browsers apparently accept the fact that some tags don't have to be closed.

At the moment I needed a way to develop a static website for my brand, just curious how does ignite helps with SEO ?

Wow this is amazing 🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥

That's looks insane!

another one of those: "why didn't I think of this" ideas 🙈 😅 amazing work, man, forking now, have some additional ideas that might make sense

Thank you!

this is so sick man

Minor thing: AFAIK the '/' in "self closing" tags are ignored nowadays. Just using is _slightly_ more correct than . The forward slash is in fact misleading since e.g. will just start a new div and not self close.

Could this be done in any programming language?

I never knew it was possible to build a website using swift. Is it done in Xcode? Does swiftUI work?

Hey You’re doing great job by creating lgnite, full filing purposes of swift as general purpose language keep it up. Can you please let me know how can we develop dynamic website using swift only? By using ignite with vapor or so.

Every day passed and I realized, I loved you more than yesterday. I want to be a coder like you. I am passionate like you but not that much skilled. Pray for me ❤. By the way, thanks for this amazing Library. 💌

Is this meant to run on a server alongside a server framework (e.g., Express, etc) or is this meant for emitting static html via a build script?

Awesome!🎉

Impressive.

Sincere question: who has this problem now days? I haven’t worried about editing proper html in what seems like decades. Every good editor now has good linting.

Blazor?

It’s really nice but will it solves all the html related problems at the beginning?

@@datping7377 the idea, I guess, is to read the webdev documentation just once, implement the swift code that prints the html and then forget the web syntax forever, living in the swift bubble only. An added benefit would be to always generate the same well crafted code (but honestly... this could be equally achieved by preparing the code snippets in the editor...). In the Python world I've seen many implementations like this, but through big projects aimed at easily building complex frontends for specific purposes (data science usually) and it seemed to me a very reasonable idea. Here I have some doubts about the purpose behind the effort.

What a great news 😎

awesome

Im sorry what. Javascript and Swift couldnt be more different. One is a strongly, statically typed language, designed for a specific use case of building beautiful UI in a close ecosystem. And the other is a dumpster fire that the internet runs on. The only similarity between the two, is that they are programming languages

The implementation seems very clever, but I'm not sure if it's really viable in a big project. Probably it's best to invest your time in learning HTML properly... or hiring an expert.

It's hilarious because the trend now is statically generated websites instead of dynamic ones. Everything is generated once and served up and only regenerated when the content changes.

Expert in HTML? 🧐 What are you talking about? 😅 Everybody knows HTML if you’re connected somehow with the software development. HTML is just a subset of XML which is widely used almost in every stack.

@@phat80 XML is significantly simpler to work. It has stringent formatting rules which is validated against standards, but they're only a few of them. Every XML parser interprets XML in the exact same way. It's also just pure data without any presentation. XML can be mastered in less than a weekend. HTML formatting rules, on the other hand, are loosely interpreted and left to each browser and platform to interpret and render. The same HTML can differ drastically in presentation depending on the thousands of permutations based on a complex matrix of platforms, screen formats and browsers. If that's not complex enough, there's also CSS which adds another level of complex layout and rendering rules. Its grammar and structure is entirely different. To become an HTML expert requires a rigorous understanding of HTML and CSS and their idiosyncrasies, so much so that it's as complex, if not more, than any major programming language.

Code will ultimately become machine code anyway, why bother with a high level language?

And then stick it in a webview of your mobile app 😂

It feels to me that it brings more new stuff to learn without guarantee of scalability for a big project. I’m not learning something new for the sake of wasting time. I would just stick to typescript and react for now. It needs more work

Just another try of replace classic html that will fail soon

I don't think it's going to be successful.

Let’s get rid of build steps people. Just learn HTML

As a human that abhorres HTML, I have to say, this is truly an abomination. You must repent for such sacrilegious actions.
