@jjacky EVERYONE prefers output like this

whoever shared the "i have adhd" skill with me thank you it's made my claude replies so good

@BrooksLybrand @mjackson fuzzy search? 👀

I built a dumb website to show off my board game collection It just uses 1 package: remix I haven't added mutates or auth yet. After that it'll still be 1 package: remix. Lot of other features I want to add, but won't really need any more packages.

@localhost_5173 tell me you forked ghostty

Made a pretty solid native terminal app with ~$100 of Claude Fable 5 usage

@aarondfrancis i still think a designer + rive could get this 10x nicer and faster

I now have a button in the studio that writes all the params to a JSON file to be used on the homepage. The same component is rendered in the studio and on the homepage. I tweak it until it's just right, hit the button, commit. Done!

@syswarren i thought of Notion at the beginning of your rant and it matched all the way through

-=friday night rant=- i'm tired of seeing the same thing happen over and over again: a product is successful, well loved by users, growing insanely fast. then growth slows (not decreases, just slows) and it moves from plg to slg. it starts forcing org / business needs onto the individual user experience because it needs to sign contracts and can't afford to split the product team across two motions. the company thinks the needs are basically the same anyway, mostly because it only listens to org users now. individual users feel the product changing. it gets more complicated. it adds features they don't need. the existing features are technically still there, but they're less accessible, so the product becomes less useful to them. they complain, start looking for alternatives, and if nothing changes… they slowly leave. and the company thinks: "it's fine. we're signing contracts that generate much more $$$ than individual users ever did. and even if this person no longer uses our product at home, they use it at work." so it keeps going. the product slowly becomes fully focused on businesses, even though individuals can technically still sign up and use it through an increasingly shitty experience. what the company doesn't notice at first is that it has also lost the individual users who used to champion the product inside the companies it's now targeting. then, a few years later, the consequences catch up with the business. multi-year contracts end renewals get harder growth slows again shocked pikachu enters the scene the company thinks it's a product problem, so it builds more features that xyz company said it needed to choose the product over competitors. then it thinks it's a sales problem, so it hires more salespeople. the product is perfect, after all: it has all the features. but none of that helps with the ridiculous self imposed growth goals. the product is now bloated, hard to maintain, and full of custom flows built for xyz and abc. who, by the way, would now like another custom feature that is actually a full-blown product, otherwise they won't renew. the product and engineering teams can't support all of it anymore. so the company starts deciding what is "core" and somehow, the features or products it built, or sometimes acquired, that were well loved by individual users in the first place are no longer considered core. they get decommissioned. the people who cared deeply about the product leave the company. the product used to be well loved. it's not anymore. "but we have lots of weekly active users." yes. because users don't have a choice. their company forces them to use it. so let's save some time: offer a business experience if you want but don't treat individual users as second-class citizens while building it.

@kippe07 @jamdotdev i gasped when watching this well done

spiciest handle interaction of the day, dropping soon on @jamdotdev

@aarondfrancis what's "shoes"?

I'm working on some new sections for the Solo homepage and needed new illustrations. Instead of having Sol try to one-shot it, I had it build me a little studio. It can still access the raw SVG, but I also have knobs I can tweak. Now we work iteratively until it looks perfect!

@legionsdev @ThatsPranav @nextjs @tan_stack why? it's just a request handler care to give an example?

@frederic_ooo @ThatsPranav @nextjs @tan_stack astro is just bad with cms integration

Local Development @nextjs vs @tan_stack A Side-by-Side Comparison

@legionsdev @ThatsPranav @nextjs @tan_stack astro for marketing sites nextjs for job security

@ThatsPranav @nextjs @tan_stack nextjs for marketing sites tanstack for fullstack apps

@tobimori @aaronmahlke i have it because otherwise your reach is ZERO hahaha

@aaronmahlke yeah shitposts go way less viral i guess i can cancel x premium now, will never reach the payout tier

yeah new algo is great and all ....

@RaminNasibov i just got it

I used Nero to burn CDs as a kid and only later realized the pun: Nero burned Rome-"Burning ROM".

@tobimori @housecor the illusion of productivity is real

@frederic_ooo @housecor i'm also mostly 2, max. 3 if 4+ only on different projects with mind-numbing tasks (updating deps or smth)

Problem: I have too many terminals. Solution: Use a terminal multiplexer. General options: - tmux - ghostty AI-optimized options: - herdr - cmux I'm using herdr today and like it so far. I can name tabs, split panes, use my mouse, and it saves my session even if I close it! Other recommendations?

@GameStalgiaX AI can't do this this is true craftsmanship

I still can't believe they pulled this off on the GBA

@LukeParkerDev yep you get a test for making sure a substring exists in a markdown file LOL

'follow TDD' in my AGENTS.md was one of my biggest mistakes

i think there should be single tasking days and multi-tasking days attention is something we have been underestimating in the age of AI

@Jaytel shit. i love it. kanban not for tasks but for agent windows motherfucker i’m in

i would kill for this type of view in Codex

@aarongarciah what are the takeaways?

ended up over-engineering a small site to play with how Safari tints toolbars safari-tint.aarongarcia.workers.dev it attaches a unique id to the URL so you can check changes live across browsers/devices, including page refreshes

@mikkmartin the pop out is so satisfying i keep watching it is there a link?

Liquid glass – without the glass part ✨

@coleHardik yeah but english is still important (we’re building _the_ future of SaaS) and this is a statement any company can make

Less is more in design
