I can't believe I missed that I was also genuinely convinced clicking this button would make me suddenly learn french

Thanks to how portable the original QuickJS is (and to modern C tooling brought in by quickjs-ng) it turned into a fun weekend project. String indexing, arguments, atomics element positions, anything I could think of that used to start at 0. Get the binaries here: github.com/mkrl/qu1ckjs/releases

I always wanted to recompile a browser and make arrays start at 1 to see how the web breaks. While an entire browser is a bit too much work, a compact JS engine is pretty doable. Meet Qu1ckJS - a JS engine where indexed collections start at 1! Play around with the REPL here: mkrl.xyz/qu1ckjs

Listening to @danabra.mov on @syntax.fm talking about atproto gave me a mad idea I want to build a "community box" of sorts: a physical device that enables posting to a PDS that is contained on the device itself a low-powered shitty server that is only online during events, powered by a hand crank

It's live on the Web Store! chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hpmeg... Because a lot of the web is SPA those days, I sometimes forget I have this installed. Then, when my bank or GitHub starts spinning, I experience joy unlike any other.

Made a browser extension that randomly adds silly cross-document view transitions to all websites. Now it's time to create a collective repository of silly transitions for all of us to share.

It started with playing around with html-in-canvas, however the end product contains none at all. Videos are directly saved into a local folder (or OPFS for @webdevs.firefox.com and Safari). Encode into a bunch of cool formats with WebCodecs. You can even display an arbitrary floating window!

My conference tech demo accidentally turned into capturing.website I always wanted to build a simple full-featured screen recorder based purely on web standards. Turns out, you can fit recording, processing and encoding in under 200kb (probably could have pushed it even lower).

Damn, exactly what happened to us trying Vite 8, I'm definitely giving this a try ❤️ We postponed the upgrade because of the massive chunking difference that ultimately led to worse metrics. Rolldown seemed much more aggressive in splitting automatically (in theory it's good, but not all the time).

Misha @mkrl.xyz · 22/04/2026

Usually I start with another draft, keep writing until it's absolutely massive, then spend 3 weeks updating dependencies in my blog, adding features that are nice to have for this particular post, fiddling with illustrations and giving up after a month. Then rinse and repeat.

my dumb ass read this as "`handleSubmit` is only used in contexts where memoization provides no benefit. It is pathetic" 😩 that's lovely! I couldn't find the rule anywhere in the Sentry org, is it public / can we see the code?

Misha @mkrl.xyz · 07/04/2026

Just went to report a bug in @voidzero.dev formatter. Spent 30 minutes setting up a classic reproduction repo. Then discovered playground.oxc.rs. It has an option to compare with prettier directly and if there's a difference IT FILLS OUT THE ISSUE TEMPLATE FOR YOU. I absolutely love it

a screenshot from playground.oxc.rs displaying oxfmt and prettier output side by side. there's a button that says "report diff" because the outputs are different

spent 6 months trying to figure out pricing for my developer products: per-seat, usage based, "contact sales"? introducing promise-based billing. honestly IMO it's the most honest pricing model in tech: - generous free tier for sync APIs - real customers pay for promises

As a child growing up in a post-soviet country I had a recurring nightmare of getting lost in a maze of eastern bloc buildings. A while ago I got to play Townscaper and had an idea "what if I make one, but depressing?". Quick Three.js prototype on Sunday scratches the itch.

...just be sure it still has enough color contrast! While it does indeed look cool, it can break familiar cognitive patterns. Users can rely on selection visibility for many different needs.

alright, #BadUXWorldCup is too fun to pass up how about a virtualized date picker? "virtualized" as in "virtual machine" surprisingly easy to operate, just write some bytes to input a date here's me entering the birthday of Internet Explorer, get creative with yours! mkrl.xyz/virtualized-...

I don't think it is possible for completely dynamic arbitrary values, but if you know a set of values in advance, perhaps you could pre-generate some :has CSS selectors like this? codepen.io/mkrl/pen/qEO...
