Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 10/06/2026@ricky.fm is x_react_sources actively in use with fb source maps? I've been trying it out as a way to help automate react profiler traces to render as markdown, was curious if you know of any related work. 100
Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 17/02/2026Great to see WebTransport in the list! Hoping to see the Scheduler API next 🤞 020
Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 11/02/2026Somewhat tangential, but I sometimes struggle with communicating rendering differences before/after in a PR. <PerformanceTracks> looks like a step towards something that's digestible at a glance. I wonder if some kind of diffing could be layered on top of it. 010
Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 11/02/2026It could be cool to see something like trace.cafe with this. Linkable react perf tracks. 100
Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 27/01/2026Is there any info on how apps outside of streamplace can participate in the Live avatar badge feature? Does it require publishing a specific lexicon? 110
Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 19/01/2026@juli.ee would it be possible to get a view of com.atproto.sync.listReposByCollection results on PDSls? it'd be nice to see at a glance with links to each repo, maybe with pagination too thanks for all of your work so far! 000

Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 15/10/2025Old tweet of mine is basically describing atproto. Thanks @pfrazee.com Also, "x.com" is revisionist history, I did not write that. 0230
Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 14/09/2025is it just me or is the @unicode.org emoji list page wildly slow? unicode.org/emoji/charts...unicode.org 000
Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 22/04/2025Sometimes I need to reverse engineer websites for @getmetastream.com My starting point is logging Object.keys(globalThis). Since JS objects retain the order that keys are set, the end of this list are the global variables set by the website. Helps with finding any initialized video players. 010
Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 17/04/2025These APIs look much more straightforward than those for manually updating non-store MSIX packages. Thanks! 100

Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 24/02/2025So often learn about these limited runs too late so I was glad I could go watch it. 010
Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 05/02/2025Yep, the only caveat is that it's limited to json so typically a small helper utility is used. I'm guessing this is how some extensions integrate with Anki too. 010

Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 31/01/2025Last question for you, is it possible to capture frames from the active game window? I wasn't having luck with PipeWire. Is there a public API to consume the same frames as the game recording feature? 110
Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 31/01/2025Beyond basic extension support, I eventually hope to use this to explore ideas like restoring MV2 APIs, adding Firefox APIs, and creating plugin systems. 120

Sam @samuelmaddock.com · 29/01/2025@froggi.es I'm completely new to vulkan layers and came across your vkroots project. If I installed a layer on SteamOS, would it be able to overlay games? Or do I have a deep misunderstanding here? 100
