on “Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (August 2023)”Mostly write about Elixir. Check out the search function. It is a rust library run as WASM in the browser (all the right keywords for HN hehe). My blog: https://victorbjorklund.com/blog Search library used: https://stork-search.net/ (And yes, I know it is totally overkill to have search when you just got a few articles)

on “Ask HN: Could you share your personal blog here?”I been enjoying D2 lang for creating diagrams. It is like mermaid.js but more formatting options and, imo, better syntax. I wrote a small blog post about it: https://victorbjorklund.com/build-diagrams-as-code-with-d2-d...

And after all if the purpose is visualisation the visual matter. (Shameless plug: Intro to D2 https://victorbjorklund.com/build-diagrams-as-code-with-d2-d... )
