The Misago forum project describes problems with its current React.js-based frontend, including duplicated views, extra build complexity, translation duplication, and slower performance on weaker devices. It proposes using HTMX to keep server-rendered HTML as the source of truth while adding small interactive islands for actions like filtering threads or moderation.

A Hacker News post introduces misa77, a new compression codec that claims decompression speeds about twice as fast as LZ4 while achieving better compression ratios in the same general range. The author says the gains come mainly from reducing branches and making decompression friendlier to out-of-order CPU cores, though compression itself is relatively slow.
