The Importance of Using a Real API

Bryan and Adam were joined by Justin and David from the Oxide team to talk about their work on the Oxide Console--the frontend to the Oxide computer. The rigor they've brought to all aspects of the frontend--client/server type safety, test automation, a11y--it's astounding!

We've been hosting a live show weekly on Mondays at 5p for about an hour, and recording them all; here is the recording from July 17th, 2023.

In addition to Bryan Cantrill and Adam Leventhal, we were joined by Oxide colleagues David Crespo, and Justin Bennett.

Some of the topics we hit on, in the order that we hit them:

• Justin's podcast: devtools.fm
• David's talk: Folding Time with Signals in Elm
• Oxide and Friends where we mentioned Elm
• Playwright
• Kent C. Dodds
• Dropshot web framework
• Oxide Typescript SDK
• Oxide console repo
• Oxide docs site

If we got something wrong or missed something, please file a PR! Our next show will likely be on Monday at 5p Pacific Time on our Discord server; stay tuned to our Mastodon feeds for details, or subscribe to this calendar. We'd love to have you join us, as we always love to hear from new speakers!
