ECMAScript excitement 😉 Congrats to @michael.ficarra.me on advancing the Iterator Chunking proposal to Stage 4 at @tc39.es today 🎉 It can make iterators that chunk & window content. [0,1,2,3].values().chunks(2); // [0,1], [2,3] [0,1,2,3].values().windows(2); // [0,1], [1,2], [2,3]

You can now upload files to @liveblocks.io! If your multiplayer app uses media, archives, or any file, `LiveFile` allows you to upload them directly to your Storage tree. Other users will see the file appear in realtime—like in this @tldraw.com clip. Learn more ↓

If you use @xyflow.com with @liveblocks.io, you can now also update it from your Node.js backend super easily and with a beautiful API. This is _the_ way to let your React Flow be edited from custom agents. Read all about it here: liveblocks.io/docs/api-ref...

The API looks like plain @xyflow.com, but underneath, it's synchronizing your graph in the smartest way possible. Selection state? Local only. Node position while dragging? Live. Conflicts? Auto-resolved. Undo/redo? Just works. ✨

Zod isn't the only option. Our team uses decoders, built by the wonderful @nvie.com. We find it's: • Easier to read, as it looks like TypeScript. • Quicker to debug, with its human-readable error messages. • Lighter to ship, with tree-shaking and smaller bundles. Learn more ↓

import { array, iso8601, … } from "decoders";

const userDecoder = object({
id: number,
name: string,
createdAt: optional(iso8601),
tags: array(string),

TIL Plausible.io has a fantastic import-from-CSV feature! Just imported all my historical Gaug.es stats. It auto-imports only up to the moment Plausible was first used, so no double-counting of when I was still using both. Really well-done! 👏

Two years ago I built a new router in my spare time to replace itty-router. We started adopting it gradually until it powered our entire backend.

One more thing however: I’m seeing an X community and some kind of coin/token claiming to collect money on my behalf. I have absolutely nothing to do with this. It’s a scam. Please DO NOT send anyone money.

The sad part isn't even the AI here. It's the person who generated this and uploaded it without even looking at the thing. The quality people demand of themselves is steadily diminishing. So does our appreciation of art.

This one actually isn't too bad! Atlassian put this guide out years ago, clearly linking back to my site to cite the source, and put care into comparing different branching strategies, styling it in a unified and on-brand style for them. That's perfectly okay, and not at all the same.

RIP "continvoucly morged". Looks like they replaced it with a new diagram. Honestly I’m still a bit suspicious of this one. There are some inconsistent design choices that make me think this could’ve been generated as well. Though maybe it was a human in a hurry. 😅

A new graph without all of the embarrassing AI gibberish. A main git branch splits into "Hotfix" and "Develop", which can be split into "Feature" and "Release".

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.
