Inspired by modular design in the physical world (e.g. the 606 Universal Shelving System), we can look out for reusable patterns in the digital design world as well.

@_mql I agree partly: don’t personally think it is monotonically getting harder. The method of gaining confidence has changed for sure, and you get rapidly punished by slop if you don’t exercise a battery of quality controls… But also easier to put those controls in place now.

I don't think that 'keeping the agents busy over night' is the hard new challenge.
The art in programming remains judging the output, before merging it with confidence. That's only getting harder with more and more output to be judged.

Former CEO of Google, Eric Schmidt: "traditional programming is over, and i'm mourning the identity i built around it" Programmers don't write code anymore — they wake up, assign objectives to AI agents, go to lunch, and let them run overnight For anyone still coding the old way: "stop. it's over"

* especially since you are more and more personally detached from that output

Totally agree about the part on fashions, rewrites, and hypes. Though I also think that abstractions on top of the web platform (like Svelte) become much more compelling once you’ve spent years dealing with the frustrations of building reliable interactive UIs.

I must admit that nothing about computers, since I'm in love with the field, was so uninteresting as the Javascript different fashions, waves, frameworks, rewrites, hypes. And I'm one that loves almost every shit programming related.

It’s been great fun to talk with @KatieLangerman and @hobdaydesign about my very favorite topic “text editing” :)
Thanks for having me!
Katie Langerman@KatieLangerman
This week @hobdaydesign and I were joined by @_mql on Complementary. We discussed all things text editing, which is probably more complex than you might imagine! creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/co…

I want everything on every page of my website to be served by me - not a 3rd party.
That YouTube video? I can turn it into an animated thumbnail, and add a “Watch on YouTube ↗” link that opens in a new tab.
Self-contained & cookiebannerless. 🤟

One thing I miss about the 90s and 2000s and the part of the 2010s is that every 2 years tech just got better. Games looked remarkably better, the systems you would buy would be significantly better.
Honestly at this point I can barely tell the difference, performance wise, for the last 5 years.
English
Did you know you can do this sort of thing client-side too?
First use canvas.toBlob() for resizing. Then @jsquash/webp (wasm) for compression.
This is how editable.website does it now. No server resources needed.

Aiming to lock-in theming of editing colors that complement the theming of apps/websites that use Svedit in v0.10.0...
Pls join the discussion if you have opinions. :)

I left my £100k/yr job. I want a £30k/yr job. Hire me. You'll struggle to find a better interface designer at that salary.
Only two conditions: 3 days a week and fully remote.
As long as this post is pinned, I'm still looking.

Been on the @JSJabber podcast today, talking svedit.dev and editable.website.

It's been an absolute pleasure having worked with Igor over the last year on LiveStore.
He contributed some major improvements and features to LiveStore including a performance benchmark suite, new multi-store React API, syncing fixes etc.
Great opportunity to work with him!
Igor Gassmann@i_gassmann
I've been all-in on open-source for the past year, working as a core contributor to @livestoredev I love the work, but my runway has run out. So here I am😄 I'm currently available for contract work. Know anyone who's hiring? A quick intro or tag would mean a lot 🙏

AI-Coding is undoubtedly giving a lot of folks instant gratification.
Chances are, it may also give you delayed regret.

What if (now more than ever) you could do everything, but you still decide to do that one thing, and do it really well?

@ThePrimeagen @hiiinternet editable.website - devs define content types and layout in code, site owners can live-edit it in place (website is a demo). Svelte, Node, and SQLite for self-contained websites.

Hey, you got a cool project that you are building? Link it

If you make terrible software, take comfort: no matter how bad it is, ten years from now people will talk about “how good software was ten years ago”.
English
@wcools Oh! That means you've been already in the font measuring business? :)
Really nice! And thanks for correcting me!
You planning on integrating pretext to skip the render/measure step?
English
@_mql Yes it's very cool! Thymer's editor is not just fixed-width fonts though :). Variable width, but also any custom element really. But reads DOM for line wrap calc and then caches. That does work for any element, but being able to completely calc for text is awesome
English
I think pretext is really great news for web-based editors that define the layout 100%. Now you can take on text rendering yourself too, with the obvious benefits, not just for fixed width fonts (like @wcools Thymer) but any rich text really.

My dear front-end developers (and anyone who’s interested in the future of interfaces): I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept): Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
English
@mubarak_marafa Fascinating. And u're actually "drawing" these annotations, and then it reverse-looks up the closest characters and adds a Svedit annotation/anchor there?
English
My turn to play with pretext 🔥
Being a designer armed with AI unlocks some insane stuff. I've been prototyping what it might look like to be able to type, write and draw all on one canvas. This is a prototype that let's you "pull" the margins of your text for more space to write. You can also just write directly on the text and see your text move out the way.
Thanks
@_chenglou for Pretext
