I’m sorry, I know you all don’t care.
new TextEncoder().encode(str).toHex()
YOU’RE TELLING ME CONVERTING UNICODE INTO A BASE 16 ENCODED HEX STRING IS A ONE LINER AND DON’T HAVE TO WRITE SOME Array.from() bs to convert the Uint8Array into an array so I can use .map and return a string type instead of a uint8 from the callback function and then do some bs with .padStart() I forget which argument is the number and which is the string.
It’s so beautiful 🥹

You’ve gotta love JavaScript. One of the world’s most popular languages still missing basic features in 2026. For example, it used to be for years it didn’t have a module import system. They added one. Nice. How do you package it?
You need 3rd party tools. 🥳
Node JS doesn’t count. I mean, the language itself. It has no system for packaging modules. This is one of the most popular languages in the world. It has no built in system for packaging modules into a single file.

I hate it when sites use it for making navigation buttons and you can't even access something like page 77 in a 400 page sequence without clicking available buttons that only skip a handful of pages at a time, and even manually changing the URL to get to the desired page doesn't fucking work

I miss Web sites with frames. I really miss Web sites with open directories that allowed one to helpfully upload content, hypothetically.
