What it does

Powering high-traffic, production-grade websites like eBay.com Marko is HTML re‑imagined as a language for building dynamic and reactive user interfaces. Just about any valid HTML is valid Marko, but Marko extends the HTML language to allow building modern applications in a declarative way. Marko streams content to your users as soon as it's ready. No waiting for client side JavaScript bundles or data requests to start rendering. HTML, assets, and images are loaded as soon as possible with asynchronous content loading in as it completes. Why ship entire Islands for a few grains of sand? Marko ships only what's needed, skipping hydration and stripping unused code at the sub-template…from markojs.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
