I didn't announce here that I packaged my shadow preserving algorithm into a paid app: PackshotPanda (dot com)

Munawwar Firoz @munawwar.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Most background removal tools don't retain natural shadow. I figured out how to retain it. And also how to align them shoes to be perfectly 10% away from the bottom,left,right edges within a 2048x2048 canvas (allowing the shadows to occupy that 10% margin)

Was looking at toggle switch designs and landed on a shop that sells physical toggle switches as fidget toys. It looks soo good!

Improved that. Also added a Svelte inspired context api as well. v0.2 already had a Store and different way to wire that up, but with the new component model had to reinvent it.

Pepper v0.3 component rendering work in-progress. Right now updating something at lower level of component tree bubbles changes to the top. Might make this more efficient.

So QuickJS is viable for SSR of e-commerce pages if the JS FW constructs strings directly without vdom:

Forked @nodeland.dev's SSR benchmark to test preact SSR performance. Local benchmarks results 👇. Didn't run on AWS yet. Getting late here, will try it tomorrow. Code at github.com/Munawwar/k8s... I adopted the preact code from github.com/Munawwar/pre...

I think it should be free text with self correcting and like an autocomplete when it's ambiguous. Also relative time would be nice addition if we went down that path. (Video from x.com/thomasauros/...). IF we could get this in native HTML that'd be awesome.

Is usage based on tokens? Why don't they write the tokens I get for the plan?

Customizing claude code a bit: 1. Added a hook to show a gnome notification when it's done coding (only if I am not focused on that window) 2. Statusline (not sure why this isn't OOTB really) Interestingly CC's vscode extension has also improved a lot since it's initial release.

On AWS lambda, the hello world cold start of static hermes + web apis runtime I implemented on top¹ is same as go lang (compared w/ maxday perf). 🚀 Binary size = 3.5 MB (zip pkg = 1.6 MB 🤏). ¹ I disabled full unicode support and I added crypto APIs with libssl. If you disable that it's even faster

In surveys it is mostly in the following order: 1. Express 2. NestJS (with express or fastify) 3. Fastify In npm downloads position 1 and 2 is same, position 3 is Koa.
