Found some great docs that I'd left for myself in Plinky.
06.08.2025 22:16 β π 5 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Been thinking about the transition of iOS from skeumorphism to flat design to liquid glass. I think my biggest takeaway is that adding personality to your app initially was all graphic design, then became visual design, and now is shifting to interaction design. No strong feelings yet, just vibing.

04.08.2025 23:57 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0My suggestion would be if you can afford $20, just try Pro. Worst case it doesnβt work, best case it does, the most likely outcome is that you get a feel for the tool and can make a more informed decision.
04.08.2025 21:26 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Max. Itβs not cheap, but as an indie I would easily pay $100/month to be able to check things off my roadmap faster, so I βhappilyβ pay for it.
04.08.2025 20:58 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I use it for both. Probably 90-95% of new code I write is AI generated β but of course it's extensively planned and code-reviewed before ever going to production. The results are fantastic now that I've developed the relevant skills, and the workflow is faster since I can work on two things at once.
04.08.2025 20:35 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Absolutely, itβs heads and tails above any competitor. A statement like that may only be valid in the AI space for a few months, but Anthropic has absolutely built the best agentic coding tool in the space. I also use it from all sorts of things, but itβs most valuable for coding.

04.08.2025 20:10 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Spent five days working with Claude Code to optimize Plinky's use of Boutique during large link syncs, and I'm not exaggerating when I say the speed and number of Store writes that bottlenecked the system has dropped thousands of percent. And now I have 1,500 more lines of tests to keep it that way.

1. No subscription offering will get you to Twitter scale.
2. The only reason those open source projects exist is because of companies like Twitter, Google, Meta, etc.
3. But if you somehow reach Twitter scale with them, who invents the next thing to continue your growth trajectory?
Twitter invented many, many technologies to achieve the scale it did, you canβt just scale vertically. But even if you say βjust buy more serversβ, by the time I left Twitter was managing nearly 750,000 servers in its data centers, which required its own innovations to maintain and manage.

04.08.2025 01:01 β π 6 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I guess history doesnβt repeat, it echoes.
03.08.2025 17:14 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Much better results today. π
03.08.2025 03:34 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0That makes sense to me, Iβm just curious because there seem to be use cases that donβt seem like a natural fit, but could be massaged intro working. I still donβt think itβs by any means guaranteed to be the right solution, and Iβm mostly compiling examples of where it falls short for a talk.
03.08.2025 03:33 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Sounds like a good reason! Iβm documenting all of these, so can I also ask for more specifics?
1. What kind of app is it?
2. What kind of feature were you trying to build?
3. Did you try approaches to work around the problems you ran into, or did you intuit that it wouldnβt work for your use case?
I think youβre thinking of Rust. π¦
03.08.2025 00:09 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0atharva @AtharvaXDevs Follow last night, I was skimming TanStack Query docs and went down a rabbit hole on its server-side usage with Next.js. What I found is a total gamechanger for performance. @tan_stack > it's a pattern that combines server-side prefetching with client-side hydration to practically eliminate initial page load spinners. When you pair it with Server Actions for mutations, your app feels insanely fast. here's how it works, a Thread TanStack Query v5
Every few years someone in the JavaScript ecosystem reinvents PHP and thinks they've stumbled upon something brilliant. You've created markup that signals to the server declaratively how to fetch data, congrats! Wait until you read a little more to learn about the potential downsides too.
