hey! it's been a while. MacroGraph is getting a huge refresh in 2026: - multiplayer editing - client/server architecture, so projects can be ran headless - brand new UI lots more to share in the next couple of months, for now here's a pic :)

i updated the @cap.so docker image a few days ago on @github.com and... i think someone's been downloading it in a loop? the download count has been increasing by like 2/second for the past few days 😅

multiplayer @macrograph.app was a mistake

asked @zed.dev agent to make a bunch of small changes to @cap.so desktop to make it compile went and brushed my teeth came back and the app was open with no more rust errors very nice

turns out you can just work from the New York library

i don't think i ever announced this but our @solidjs.com hackathon project solidbase.dev now powers docs.solidjs.com!

@zed.dev would you guys be interested in trying @cap.so for your screen recordings? would be happy to help with anything Scap-related you need for gpui 😄

record. edit. share. @cap.so is the open source loom alternative. free version available for macOS and Windows.

corepack is fucking awesome

@cap.so is getting a whole suite of improvements over the next few days - redesigned editor - new 'start recording' flow - system audio capture then focusing on bug fixes & ux improvements for the next couple of weeks to make the app super smooth

It was fun while it lasted, but I'm stopping maintenance of Prisma Client Rust. github.com/Brendonovich...

the manual zoom picker in @cap.so will now preview the zoom segment's first frame much better than a big blue rectangle 😄

average conversation with @ryansolid.bsky.social

i'm going to San Francisco in April!!!! anyone want to catch up from the 22nd onwards?

if @ryansolid.bsky.social made music

i got tired of clicking 'run workflow' on github

if you haven't been following the work on @solidjs.com 2.0: - createAsync throws instead of returning undefined 🎉 - Resetting an ErrorBoundary refetches errored createAsyncs - Suspense only shows its fallback once. On re-suspend it shows stale data (no Transition!) + much more i'm very excited 😄

been working on my own version of the 'fail' crate for @cap.so that allows fail points to be toggled in real-time. all declared 'fail' (panic) and 'fail_err' (Err return) points are collected by the 'inventory' crate, and a global map that our debug window can modify toggles them on and off.

reminder for future me: don’t use your app’s debug build to assess performance. prod build can be way faster even if you don’t expect it. @cap.so’s editor is super smooth in prod, but i always worry it’s not fast enough since i use the dev build 😂

i don't play @osu.ppy.sh but i always love watching their devlogs. they're a small team building an open source game, and they're so connected to their community. it's inspiring tbh. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOb9...

recently discovered @zed.dev's workspace symbols search (⌘T) and it's my new favourite thing. no more remembering what file a type/function is in - just search for the symbol let the LSP do the work 😄

@cap.so is on bsky now 😄

I'm happy to announce I'm officially joining cap.so as Founding Engineer! After helping with the new recorder + editor for a while, I'm excited to be a part of building the open source screen recording suite our users have been asking for.

coming soon: cap.so for windows

i should check on @vercel.com more often

built a new video decoder for cap.so that uses native macOS APIs and omg it's so much faster

cap.so performs all video rendering in Rust, but uses a web frontend via @tauri.app. how does the frontend receive frames from the backend? WebSockets! we've found local WebSockets can handle >500mb/s of throughput, allowing us to display 1080p@60fps video on a <canvas>!

sometimes you just gotta do it to em

super happy with this new stream layout! macos's portrait blur + studio lighting make my camera look way better than it is 😄 i'm gonna be streaming 2-3 times a week from now on, working on cap.so and macrograph.app over at twitch.tv/brendonovich, come say hi!

We're live! Cap v0.3.1 is now live on Product Hunt 🥳 📷 Launch page → Cap.link/ph Your support would mean a lot!

Infrastructure as Code but it's for OBS scenes/sources/filters built an initial version of this years ago but wanted to try a different approach today repo if you're curious: github.com/Brendonovich/sceneify

For #solidhack we've been working on SolidBase, a tool for building Markdown-powered sites with SolidStart. MDX with @solidjs.com components, syntax highlighting, frontmatter, i18n, themeing - even in existing Start apps!. Check it out: solidbase.netlify.app And plz vote for us! hack.solidjs.com

next cap.so version's dmg will have a background, yay

pretty happy with this mic level indication i've made for cap.so, should be super helpful for distinguishing microphone issues from recording/encoding issues

bsky continues to surprise me - the ability to have a dedicated feed for people who don't post often is so awesome.

@syntax.fm woah, thankyou!

brew install cap

cut 20% cpu from the cap.so camera preview by implementing YUV -> RGBA conversion on the gpu, all thanks to wgpu.rs and claude.ai. rust + gpu is such a good combo.

managed to cut the CPU usage of cap.so recording from 110% -> 30% usage with some simple fixes: - hardware acceleration using ffmpeg's h264_videotoolbox encoder. -50% CPU - capturing in NV12 format directly instead of converting from RGBA. -30% CPU next update is gonna be so much lighter!

looks like a few people are following me via some starter packs - hi! i'll be using bsky to talk about the things i'm building, usually involving rust, typescript, @tauri.app, and/or @solidjs.com. if you've got any questions about what i'm building or the above tech feel free to reach out!

domain as handle is very cool, wow
