Introducing @preact/signals-utils and @preact/signals-react-utils - a collection of helpers that make working with signals easier! These utilities help you write cleaner, more declarative code while maintaining optimal performance.

Reposting some design work from X to Bluesky (sorry if you’ve seen it before!)

This is one of our most heavily used components, coming with the new Daybridge iOS design language shipping in V1 - really happy with how it turned out!

Some truth in it tbh. mostly tho cf tunnels and just docker on vps I’ve been enjoying. Coolidge on a raspberry pi is a decent experience but it’s pretty slow software tbh and has some strange restrictions. not much effort to setup traefik or something yourself

when you like a post, you create an "app.bsky.feed.like" (a type) record in *your* repository. that like is *your* data.

that like references an "app.bsky.feed.post" record of whoever wrote the post you liked. that post lives in *their* repository. that post is *their* data.

screenshot of text: All web APIs that work with media files use a "no/maybe/probably" approach (or, in this case, "no or probably") when determining if a media type can be used. This is because media files are complex, intricate constructs with far too many subtle variations to be absolutely certain of anything until you actually use the contents of the media.

I am not sure what they mean by audio interface really... a standard USB microphone is "an audio interface"

I don't understand what isn't supported exactly
