I'm getting hyped on Svelte again. Not-too-practical-but-fun-example: synced bad apple Using `query.live` from SvelteKit's remote functions, super easy to do. Demo: sve.thomas.rocks/examples/bad...

I spent way too much time doing these simple components. Inspired by GOV.UK's design system, I'm trying to build a personal app that doesn't rely on complicated components for a change.

A dark-themed UI design system titled "Kickback" in orange. In the top right, a dropdown menu labeled "THEME" is set to "System." Under a large "Components" heading, a "BUTTONS" section displays four buttons: "PRIMARY ACTION" (orange), "SECONDARY ACTION" (purple), "DELETE ITEM" (red), and "OUTLINE STYLE" (black with white border). Below, a "DETAILS & DISCLOSURE" section features two expanded menus with orange side accents. The first is "What is Kickback?", containing the text: "Kickback is a modern music library manager built for people who care about their collection. It integrates with Beets to keep your metadata pristine." The second is "Advanced Configuration," containing the text: "You can configure your library path in the settings menu," followed by an underlined "OPEN SETTINGS" button.

🍨 Added dialog to Melt. Really happy with how this turned out, using native dialogs while still supporting animations with cross-browser support!

Its not *exactly* clean commits, neither force-pushing that erases history. The previous commits and comments are all still there! you can expand any of the "resubmissions" and see what the changes looked like before, and comments left. each commit acts as its own little PR.

🧵 In the topic of documentation websites, I completely rewrote the main website at Appwrite, including new docs and striking animations. One such example: For "init", the Appwrite launch week event, we built a customizable virtual ticket with your GitHub contributions chart.

🧵 In Melt, I've built accessible component builders. The documentation has a ton of work put into it with beautiful animated previews, and a system for generating API reference automatically from library code

SILKSONGGGG but also learning game dev, currently doing a breakout clone

Screenshot of a Breakout-style arcade game showing colorful brick rows (red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, and purple) arranged at the top of the screen. A white paddle is positioned at the bottom, with a white ball visible on the left side. The score displays '160' and 'x6' multiplier. Some bricks show 'P' power-up indicators. The game interface has a dark purple background with 'BREAK' text repeated around the border.

🍨 Working on a Spatial Menu component. It allows navigating through items in a list/grid with the keyboard. But, its fully responsive, meaning you don't need to define a number of columns before-hand! Available to test now.

🤗HuggingFace's playground will soon support structured output! This video is still a draft preview, and things may change.

Playdate is way cuter than it has any right to be

A playdate game console on top of a digital scale. It has a Pizza Cover. The pizza cover has text in it. It reads: Pizza; Delicious; Hot; Square. It features a man with a chefs hat doing an OK sign with his hands. There is a link to playdate.pizza. and a quote saying "you order em, we crank em out". The scale is showing 130g on its display

🍨 You can now fully control floating UI in Melt's elements!

A code snippet showing the instantiation and configuration of a Popover component in JavaScript. The code defines a `popover` constant as a new `Popover` object with properties such as `forceVisible` set to `true` and a `floatingConfig` object that includes an `onCompute` function to apply styles.

I really wonder if someday GitHub will have consistent up-to-date data

Me highlighting a link to an issue in GitHub. The link shows its still open, but the preview for the link shows it has been closed, which is a contradiction. Thanks GitHub!

🍨 Busy day today, we now also have 🔍 ToolTip in Melt, thanks to @autriz.bsky.social ! next.melt-ui.com/components/t...

🍨 @bennymi.bsky.social has been hard at work cooking up Melt's new 🍞 Toaster component! The internals are vastly more simple now, and a long-standing bug with 'pause-all' was fixed. As always, its pretty easy to style and customize! For the preview, I went with something Sonner-like. Enjoy 🧑‍🍳

The new Claude Code tool is so elegant

This image shows a terminal interface for "Claude Code" in research preview mode. The terminal displays:

Cost and duration statistics at the top: Total cost of $0.0000, API duration of 0.0s, and wall duration of 2.8s
A command prompt showing "melt-ui-next-gen on feat/toaster [$]" with version information "v1.0.0 via v22.14.0 took 3s > claude"
An orange-outlined welcome message stating "Welcome to Claude Code research preview!"
Help information: "/help for help"
Current working directory (cwd): "/home/thomasg/Documents/Programming/oss/melt-ui-next-gen"

The interface is a terminal-based tool for interacting with Claude in a development environment.

🍨 Finally shipped the file upload to Melt!

A dark-themed file upload interface showing a drop zone with a cloud icon, 'Click to upload or drag and drop' text, and a 5MB size limit. Below are listed features including drag and drop support, multiple file support, file type validation, and file size limits. An empty text file is shown as uploaded.

Cool, aider deleted a comment of mine on GitHub because I was suggesting a similar tool to theirs that offers a feature they don't, and others have been asking for without reply. So much for the spirit of OSS! Btw the tool is called Goose. Much better experience. github.com/block/goose

The image shows a discussion about Aider, an AI tool. User TGlide points out that Aider only suggests files to add when there are none present, but doesn't continue making suggestions later. They propose adding a mode for automatic file management. User SethTurin responds that the --browser option already provides this functionality, but notes they switched to terminal version due to other limitations. The thread ends with Aider-AI deleting a comment from TGlide.

🍨 @bennymi.bsky.social has been a huge help with Melt! They've been porting some of the components over to Runes. You'll see some new ones popping up soon, such as Progress.

🃏 LETS GO BALATROOO Surprised at Elden Ring numbers, considering I mostly played on the PS5 Also damn, my GF plays a lot of Sims

🍨 Tree is shaping up nicely! Its almost done, and I believe the API is iron solid. Again, kudos to @abdel-17.bsky.social for putting in tons of work into it!
