“But they have a bigger budget, a larger audience, better distribution. Suddenly their version is the one people see first.”
To be fair, that was already the case before AI. 🫠

But yes, rolling your own is now almost as quick as forking. But then you don’t get maintenance and the last 10% right.

Reply here, on GitHub, or on our brand new Stoat chat server: stt.gg/k7QMEaP1 (does that link work? 😬)

Take care! Let them file issues and get back to them when you have more time :-)

Mastro: the simplest web framework and site generator A minimal tool to build content-driven websites. Use web standards and plain JavaScript – work directly with the high-performance engine that is a modern browser.

If you’re giving Mastro a spin, please let us know if you run into anything that’s not immediately obvious.

We always aim to improve our docs, error messages and general onboarding flow. Thanks!

oh, there are multiple phlex tui projects in the ruby world?!

ah, but btw. the “get started” on phlexui.com 404s

Perhaps css grid? but I imagine that’s a pain to implement. To be honest, I haven’t built any big TUIs, so probably the wrong person to ask. For create-mastro I rolled my own select, but that’s the extent of TUIs I did.

yay! I’m used to it from email templates anyway 😅

Mine was more of a joke post. Like wouldn’t it be cool if you could write it as html tables ;-)

Yeah. So why are you doing OpenCode?

Oh, interesting! How does it compare to js-yaml?

You know what would be cool? If the searchbox on npmx.dev would find both npm and jsr packages.

Agreed. Although perhaps the people currently doing crazy Excel spreadsheets will switch over to vibe-coding. Hard to say whether that’s a step up or down though.

I’m using a kobo and they have Instapaper sync now built in (after Mozilla killed Pocket).

Oh cool, the Safari async module loading bug I reported for a while back was selected for Interop 2026!

And the WebKit team is already in the process of rewriting their module loader from scratch 🥳

Thanks @jakearchibald.com, @rich-harris.dev and everyone else who was involved in pushing this!

something something AI?

Thanks for taking up the ESM module loading this time, which we proposed last year!

Introducing Markdown for Agents Cloudflare's network supports real-time content conversion to markdown at the source.

You asked, CF delivered! developers.cloudflare.com/changelog/20...

that means it's time to procrastinate. then perhaps in a week or so start making slides, amirite?

JavaScript is the worst general purpose programming language except for all the others that run in the browser ;-)

A terminal GUI library (like Phlex or OpenTUI) where you write HTML tables 🫣

This seems like something @arstechnica.com might be interested in covering.

Oh no! In the past opting into "iOS 18 Developer Beta" in the Settings app used to do the trick. But seems that's not working for my iPhone SE 2nd gen either :-(

You discovered pandoc.org ?

This. If a single module resolution algorithm could be standardized and agreed on. I’d take that over a 10x speed improvement of tsc any day.

Having good local open source models and loops for that seems like a good thing. But if the past is any indication, those will arrive with a lag of a few months or years. Companies always try to commoditize their complements.

But sure, if you’re doing a CRUD Java app like any other, the guesses will be almost always right. So I can see where the speedup comes from that some devs are reporting.
