didn't expect Apple's best hardware competitor to be Valve

transclusion is so useful

idea: Turbo-C-style initials

more inputs, let me tweak

crazy that storing a piece of data that needs to be accessible from multiple sources is incredibly hard at scale it means caching, which means latency and stale data, which means coordination and resolution it becomes a time problem

it's great to see that design engineering is a mix of both sides; many started programming websites and appealed to the intricacy of visual interfaces; others start from art and graphic design; we meet the web as a medium of expression

it all belongs in the browser

why `npm install`, HTTP request was right there

startup idea: space CDNs/router

love shared code

deeply learn CSS until it flows like water

browser problem: scary amount of data access. need a centralized "browsing data" store managed by the OS, so you can swap out the browser frontend?

never once has telling Siri to "open this on iPhone" worked

love bugs, they always reveal a misunderstanding or deeper understanding of flawed systems

Safari web apps ("Add to Dock") does NOT clear web storage after 7 days of inactivity, unlike the default behavior for Safari browsing

cringe that AI editors are focusing on having it write code for you, instead of tackling the more valuable problem: reading/navigating/understanding existing code!! i need on-demand "code maps" with generated documentation, so I can more quickly traverse a codebase with thousands of methods

the goal is to make the interface between intent and software really thin

systems of recursive systems all the way down to atoms all the way up to cosmos

it's a race can CSS be an expressive enough layout system vs can you move enough application JS into a worker and truly make the main thread === UI thread

we are about to re-enter the era of the STYLESHEET

figma config gf, stripe sessions bf

you rarely see these artifacts on the web (…anymore) but if you are Google and rewrite the entire UI in canvas you need your own dirty paint detection, and even billions of dollars will not save you

code heatmaps are going to be very useful

HATE losing websites it should never happen browser history is meant to be forever browser ⌘S is meant to save it locally forever

the beauty of the open web is that you can figure out exactly how Linear's sync engine works with DevTools + text editor github.com/wzhudev/reve...

really need 120hz Apple display

AI has changed nothing for me

writing some HTML

i love when it's cloudy in undefined

hell of an ad for Signal

js compile time optimization idea: for each array, if the array is only used with a single .includes(), turn into new Set() and use .has()

we are about to re-enter the era of the STYLESHEET

play a background video with a known duration write a CSS animation with the same duration your HTML can "react" to the video

my problem with LLMs is that I don't know what I want until I'm building it… I can't describe it for you to build it, it doesn't exist yet

teaching is backwards stop 1. the concept 2. history of the concept 3. how the concept works 4. why the concept is good start 1. the goal 2. capabilities and context at the time 3. how we arrived at the concept 4. why the concept is good

it's not about "keeping hands on the keyboard" it's about fewest inputs to desired action all inputs have their place

i have been thinking about + building a local first super-app that works off an encrypted personal data store. some ideas: 1 the data store represents "the digital you" – a .life file containing a structured data graph of contacts, events, notes, media, webpages, etc.

the browser IS the build tool? kinda need DOM APIs in web workers to be fast but it seems so silly for JSDOM, posthtml, etc to re-implement HTML parsing and transformations when the browser is literally built for that

use time until "video activation" to load video faster show 720p until 3s timer fires while the video has been at least 80% visible upgrade connection to 1440p for the remainder of the clip requires HLS I think but 3s should be enough to load and parse even a big polyfill

say what you want about the Musketeer but watching SpaceX put a rocket in space is amazing everytime humans were destined to live among the stars
