Uhm. On a Mac Air M3 the transcription is … instant. Like instant instant. Wow.

Me 6 months ago: „I’m an AI power user. AI with Svelte sucks. I can’t work like that. Can I haz LLM. Why no v0 support.“ Me now: „Screw agents. I’m super-productive with a 20$ Cursor subscription, Haiku + Svelte MCP. Ok I take the Svelte Raycast extension. Wtf is Claude Skills. Kthxby“ Paolo:

In Germany, booking a doctor appointment is monopolised by a company which suffered data leaks, didn’t have 2FA, and got caught harvesting data. Really cool to learn about a 1) open-source 2) Svelte / SvelteKit-based alternative! Kudos to the Prototype fund! github.com/open-recepti...

A couple of weeks ago at @perfnow.nl I gave a talk called "Fine-grained everything". It's about @svelte.dev (obviously), and the new frontiers of framework-land, but it's also about some stubborn misconceptions in web performance circles Gift link: conffab.com/presentation...

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

Yeah! Go get @wil.to’s amazing new course and get an extra one from me for free

NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials. “Google wanted to ‘not be evil’ back in the day. Well, they're evil now."

The more everything is unfolding as it does right now, the more I „get“ the crucial role of communities and community events. Today‘s Maptime Berlin was such an event. Last week, @beyondtellerrand.com won my ❤️. Actively search your communities. Talk about your passions. Be a nerd. Connect. Grow.

Educators! Who's doing Black Friday stuff? I like to collate a list of links for @piccalil.li to make sure everyone gets a boost so if you know what your deals are, wanna let me know in advance? Hit me up: swop.link/andy (we know ours if anyone is doing the same too)

I was skimming the [email protected] changes and started to wonder what crazy stuff people must've been doing to find such bugs. async style directives? Turns out it's just @dummdidumm.bsky.social & @rich-harris.dev actively probing for async / forking edge cases! svelte-changelog.dev/package/svelte

wake up honey, you need to patch 6 servers before the first coffee ``` sudo apt-mark hold docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin ``` (luckily all were on Docker v28)

Heads-up to @coolify.io users and basically everyone using Docker + Traefik: @docker.com v29 introduces breaking changes that will torpedo the proxy. You need to either downgrade, patch Docker or prevent auto-update h/t via Coolify Discord (discord.com/channels/459...) github.com/traefik/trae...

🎉 Welcome to our new sister project! We're excited to introduce Synclets, an open, storage-agnostic, sync engine development kit. Basically, the goal is to abstract out the synchronization layer from TinyBase so that everyone can use it. 👇

hopefully 'launching' this little side project this week. - search for a feature to find out about support - add a calendar reminder - lists what's "recently available" in the newly/widely available sections for the last week and what's coming up in the next month any other features I've missed?

It's a wrap! I did five runs of this talk so it's time to overshare on my blog, as usual. 🤍 ohhelloana.blog/css-talk-fin...

„Remote Control“ - @rich-harris.dev‘ ViteConf 2025 talk is now available on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Creator of Svelte, @rich-harris.dev presents an exploration of reactive systems and the benefits of using fine-grained reactivity with compilers, demonstrating how this approach gives developers "remote control" over their code's performance and behavior. Full video: youtu.be/N4WQVmJbpFI

This year I joined @healthfoundation.bsky.social as their first Data Visualisation Manager. As part of a 6-month discovery phase, I audited 244 charts📊we published to better understand what we were doing. Read how it has improved our #dataviz in my behind-the-scenes blog medium.com/healthfdn-da...

Morning rant: All tech blogs should have a visible date on them. Be kind to the readers.

💯 this. You are not only not helping, you are actively making it worse. If you expect oss maintainers to go through the slop you generated without any work of your own, it shows how little you value our time and mental health. This is even more insulting than the occasional rage post. Do better.

I know it already made its rounds on Reddit and HN but from all the products / brands adopting Svelte, llama.cpp migrating the WebUI from React to SvelteKit is like the ultimate testimonial github.com/ggml-org/lla...

Hello, here's a brain dump of everything I know about animation performance. Animating layout isn't always bad. Global CSS variables are a performance killer. Hardware accelerated blurs can crash sites. Surprised? Those and more in this post: motion.dev/blog/web-ani...

One problem with the web platform I’m thinking about how to solve: keyboard shortcuts. I’ve written what I see as the requirements here: github.com/openui/open-... I want to hear from devs who’ve worked on big apps/sites with shortcuts and see what I’m missing, and how they’ve solved this.

I feel bluesky may be the only place that has developers who care about this answer Are there any tools out there that radically simplify building PWA's? Wasn't sure if @bell.bz would know of some. I really don't want to go down the expo route and use react native for a mobile app, would love pwa

This talk alone was 1000% ROI on the @beyondtellerrand.com ticket! And I got to meet @jason.energy and @jakearchibald.com in person. And @ohhelloana.blog and @bell.bz outlined half of my strategy for 2026 with their brilliant talks. Next conf is already up: beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusse...
