I'm surprised other people are saying that this would be vibe coded 🤔 I guess it depends on what you mean by rewrite? Like are you changing anything during the rewrite or are you just transcribing?

Hey @ynabofficial.bsky.social 👋 I see you're still using Ember for your app (yay!). I was wondering if you were interested in a conversation about upgrading your app to get onto Vite. I'm an Ember core team member and a big YNAB fan 😂

Very productive and interesting days at @emberfest.eu last week! Back to work this week and already I'm on clear path now to implementing new features like GJS and @vite.dev. Let's go! #emberjs

Can I just say @antfu.me is the best! Such amazing projects, such care taken with the smallest detail. I'm saying this because I needed a solution and came across vite-plugin-restart, which saved my bacon. But I took a look at the code and it's neat, elegant, featureful without bloat. Perfect 🎉

ember-cli-mirage doesn't work with Vite. Our @nickschot.bsky.social has written a guide about how to migrate to ember-mirage instead, so your MirageJS test setup keeps working with Embroider and Vite. Read the post 👇   mainmatter.com/blog/2026/07... #emberjs

The Ember community has been hearing about WarpDrive as "the new data management layer that will replace EmberData—for the better". In the blog posts "From Ember Data to WarpDrive", Marine presents an overview of what migrating to WarpDrive means for Ember devs. Links in the thread 🧵 #emberjs

" @emberjs.com is much simpler than @react.dev these days" 😱 Wow that's some spicey takes but I'm here for it! 🌶️

"That is how you can incrementally migrate your @react.dev app to @emberjs.com" 😂

it's not often that you see @tanstack.com Router show up in an @emberjs.com talk 😂 this is real mad science and I'm loving it!!!

Chris Manson @chris.manson.ie · 26/03/2026
I've personally done everything that @nullvoxpopuli.com is doing right now, but I'm still on the edge of my seat! 🍿 this is a wonderful talk, and a really wonderful way to give a talk too!

Chris Manson @chris.manson.ie · 26/03/2026
This really feels like the promise we made a million years ago of "npm installing your way to Ember" I'm loving this talk so far 😍

Chris Manson @chris.manson.ie · 26/03/2026
and it lives! we have a hello world demo working 🎉 ... but how do we do routing 🤔 it's funny how quickly you need to start thinking about application concerns!

lol trying to build an Ember app without installing ember-source 🤣 whoops!

Chris Manson @chris.manson.ie · 26/03/2026
This is a really bottom-up approach to render something to screen with @emberjs.com It's really cool to get a feel for this level of detail, even if you don't end up using this in your own app

Changes for plugin authors: nothing More software should be built like this, not requiring everybody to change everything about their apps if the underlying build system needs to change. Wonderful to see it work at the scale of @discourse.org 😍

Ha ha I just noticed you squatted on the npm package 2 hours ago 😉 nice work! No notes!

Maybe you don't need Module Federation... what about a simpler version... Introducing Module Mesh! (great name btw @davidtaylorhq.bsky.social ❤️)

Chris Manson @chris.manson.ie · 26/03/2026
The solution to all our problems: Module Federation 🎉 ... but nobody can use it properly because of a Safari bug 😭 we can't safely use top-level await in our bundles because of this bug. This is why we can't have nice things 🫠

I'm loving the history lesson about AMD and how the old world was built. It also gets to the **why** we're doing all this work to modernise @emberjs.com build tools 💪
