Luke Boswell (Jul 01 2026 at 08:13): Luke Boswell (Jul 01 2026 at 08:13):Just wanted to share something I've been working on https://github.com/lukewilliamboswell/roc-signals
It's still quite rough -- and there is a chance that this turns out to be a bad idea for some reason -- but it's starting to feel like it could evolve into something really useful.
I've been using this to help me break the compiler and report bugs (particularly around the time I ported the WASM surgical linker)... and it was fun learning about the ideas in signals based UI frameworks.
But as I've added features and learnt more, I'm becoming convinced this has potential to be really great.
It's at the point now where it does some very simple things ok ... but there are many bugs and issues I'm working on still.
I feel like the core concept of a reactive engine and integrating with Roc in this way is coming together nicely, and my focus has shifted to adding more realistic apps to explore the requirements space and refactoring to find a sensible architecture.
Please break it and let me know what you think.
