Notes

Welcome to my

where I plant my thoughts and ideas. Unlike a traditional blog, notes can be of any quality and updates may occur at any time. For better understanding they are categorized by type:

root

Literature note

Summary from an outside source used for other notes

seedling

New note or rough idea

Still needs work to become a tree (beginning state)

tree

Polished evergreen note

Similar to an article in a normal blog (finish state)

stump

Old note with an outdated view

Needed for historical reasons (underlines changes)

stream

Ever-changing note with no state

Gets continuously updated like a log or list

signpost

Overview note

Groups specific other notes for exploration and navigation

Types are based on own interpretation and may not be 100% consistent. Also, they are heavily inspired by the states of growth in the

Use Template-First-Design for Vue SFCs

Since Vue 3 the common way to order Single File Components is <script>, <template>, <style> instead of <template>, <script>, <style> which was common before. The reasons seem to be closer alignment of related elements (the template is now adjacent to both script and style) and defining the visuals at the end is how most other frameworks do it (i.e. React). For me, this feels alien. I am a visual thinker and if you see the developer as a user as well, the idea of displaying what a component looks like first is only natural. The user does not need to know how it works and if they want to, they can inspect the corresponding logic by i.e. clicking on it in the template.
