btw the @divriots.com stuff is awesome and should cost thousands of dollars but it's got a free tier. Give them your money.

Wait. When submitting a stack though github cli, it doesn't set the remote tracking branch? I'm sure the cli submits the code via git, since I had to unlock my SSH key. If I had push.autoSetupRemote enabled and gh cli would have chosen a different branch name, I'd have two remote branches?

An image showing I synced the stack with `gh stack submit` and then tried pushing a branch with `git push`, but it rejected since it didn't know the remote branch.

Now that everyone is moving to stylex I feel like surimi.dev was a good idea after all.

Coding used to be my hobby. For a long time now, it's been my job and it's really hard to treat it as a hobby (even with fun side projects). BUT: I feel like "coding without AI" could become my hobby again. I really crave hand-crafting code without AI but that's hard to justify in my day job.

Just remembered I have the vite-plugin-slidev npm package. Started to work on a nice integration but let it slide (Pun intended). Does anyone want the package name to do good?

Tangled will take over the world (GitHub). It'll take years but I'm willing to bet on it. I never made that bet on bitbucket, gitlab etc. But I have a feeling. Today vitest overtook jest in weekly downloads. Something I wouldn't have bet on a few years ago xD

A couple of years ago that unicorn was considered an Easter egg. Only a handful of people in the company even knew about it. Now it's a meme. And a bad one.

I love that Github is finally building UI features again, but did they have to hire the team that built the AWS web console UI to do it?

The Cursor editor is getting worse and worse for me over time. I'm discovering more and more bugs every day. And they're all stuff unrelated to Vscode but rather things that seem to be the cursor extensions like agents.

So what do we think about edge.js by wasmer? github.com/wasmerio/edg... Being known as the WASM guy amongst my friends, I'm still a bit skeptical. But if this can evolve into an open source alternative to WebContainers/Nodebox, I'm sold.

Hey @npmx.dev folks! Wondering if the package size badge on npmx considers the size of dependencies that must be installed? E.g does it check the actual install size via bundlejs or similar? (I doubt that but you never know with npmx xD)

The Error code property proposal looks super promising. I wasn't aware just how well aligned the ecosystem is when it comes to error codes. Using instance-type based error classification is more elegant, but not really applicable for Javascript.

Anyone here knowledge in how vite and Vue/nuxt work together that can review a PR? I can donate some money for the effort, but I can't go down a rabbit hole to understand the entire environment API thing with the vue vite plugin.

Two things about knip.dev I don't get: - how did we live without it for so long - how did @webpro.nl NAIL the timing? Gave it to us right when AI started to produce left-overs in our codes faster than we ever could.

Created an app today that shows all your at://proto activity in your own personal garden: profile.garden It's fully vibe-coded right now apart for some UI stuff. My goal is that you can login and can customize your garden. Integrations include bsky, tangled, stream.place, popfeed, @npmx.dev etc.

Question for my @rolldown.rs folks before I open an issue: If I "manually" create a rolldown instance in a rolldown-vite app, e.g in a vite plugin, is there any connection between my manually created rolldown instance and the one vite uses? Asking because of an interesting bug/issue I had: 🧵

What's the best alternative to PostCSS for building CSS ASTs? Csstree? TIL postcss is cjs-only. But I think there is motivation to change that, which is awesome. As always just a matter of compatibility.

Idea: ATProto-based vouching/trusting to allowlist (or block) GitHub PRs. If you're not verified (like on bluesky) you can't PR. Could get rid of AI slop. Yes, it will be horrible at the start and at the end, but there will be a sweet spot where it works super nicely!

This is super cool. I'm neighbors with @jquery.bsky.social and @wasm.io. can't get more precise than that.

Wait since when can you spread `false` in javascript? { ...false } is valid! That means to spread properties into an object if they are defined you can just do { ...user, ...(name !== undefined && { name }) } instead of { ...user, ...(name !== undefined ? { name } : {}) }

TIL the "Shadow Wolves" exist. A unit within the US ICE Homeland security described on the official website as a "Native American tactical patrol unit" that "hunts, like a wolf pack". To an EU citizen this reads like the plot for a cheap 1990 movie (racism built in) www.ice.gov/about-ice/hs...

just a reminder that i have github sponsors if you'd like to sponsor the OSS work i do. i maintain quite a few projects, and contribute to many more. nobody other than these sponsors pay for that. so these help a huge amount, however small 🙏 thanks so much to those who already did ❤️

We nominated some open source maintainers and tools to receive funding from the OSS Engineers Fund and will donate $22k to the projects we rely on at ElevenLabs! Some of these are my favorite tools I use daily that I think really deserve support like PostCSS, Graphite, ProseMirror and more.

To recap, NPM allows 2FA TOTP token reuse within the token’s validity window. I reported this and was told it’s a “known low-risk issue” and that they “don’t consider this to present a significant security risk.” So, let’s look at how this seemingly small issue could be leveraged by a phisher. 1/

The component library I want is SUPER opinionated but also mostly unstyled. I want it to force me to do things right, like force tooltips on some components but BAN them on others. I want it to force me to use its built-in data-attributes for styling, but also allow me to use any styling tools.
