Stale-then-revalidate is nice, but not in places where it shifts layout. In chatgpt app, there is a list off conversations. I mistap every fucking time because the update arrives and the conversation list starts reordering itself. I can wait a second to get an updated list

`tabular-nums` should be the default for any number that updates ( timers, counters, prices, percentages, scores, live data etc ). you can enable this tnum OpenType feature using the CSS property `font-variant-numeric`. .tabular-nums { font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums; }

This feature in @developer.chrome.com's DevTools is so helpful. Every time I get stuck on a calc() or other CSS functions, I solve the bug much quicker with it. Thanks to everyone who worked on this! 👌

I have surprisingly good experience with antigravity.google The Agent Manager view is an interesting way to deal with the agent. Visually, there is a lot of noise in the chat UI and I struggle to understand the line of thought. Side-by-side code comparison is also lacking as everywhere.

I don't understand why most of the tools prefer to use Unified diff view. In the world where vertical space is precious, side-by-side diff helps to see a big change in one glance. I find side-by-side code comparison way simpler to grasp than vertical. Am I the only one?
