Trying out dark mode Heads Up Display aesthetics

[Nik @90_mp3]

Trying out shaders for hover states, cursor effects, loading states… fun stuff, again via @pendev + Codex

[Nik @90_mp3]

Now experimenting with some translucent printer paper effect shaders. Creating custom shaders with the @pendev MCP is really fun

[Nik @90_mp3]

Geist Mono + Redaction 50

[Nik @90_mp3]

Evolving the visual language a little, will try different fonts next

[Nik @90_mp3]

@_cmd8 @Ibelick Easier to spot inconsistencies. Also a nice way to preview global changes such as different fonts, color paletters, typographic scale, etc

Building the tool I always wanted
- bulk export TikTok favs
- dl the vids via self-hosted @justusecobalt instance
- do audio transcription, extract frames and perform OCR
- create summaries with deepseek-flash of the transcription and OCR text
- categorize with @typesafeai Jev

[shadcn @shadcn]

I still spend a LOT of time figuring out the right abstractions and interfaces (user and programming).

I recently built two components for shadcn/react. Each took weeks of UX research, experimentation, and iteration to get right.

AI hasn't accelerated this part yet, at least for me.

What it has done though, is help me fail faster. I can now go through many more failures before a component or code is ready.

@jamesacowling Also still totally worth using code generation tools with agents for stuff like:
- generate code from SQL queries via sqlc
- generate client libs from OpenAPI schemas

@Sagar_Trivedi @thdxr Hey I also used agent-sandbox to build something for myself, turned out really nice.

I have a simple web app where you select a GitHub repo and it will provision the Sandbox resources dynamically with the cloned repo, OpenCode Web and a Vite dev server. Was super fun to build

@zeeg Otherwise https://t.co/JTXskRpnk4 could work

[Nik @90_mp3]

@zeeg I'm trying to use https://t.co/edJt8fNqQe for this

[Nik @90_mp3]

@colderoshay @elirousso @Ibelick @vercel Repo link?

[Nik @90_mp3]

@DominikTornow any books you'd recommend on the topic?

[Nik @90_mp3]

@camsoft2000 tmux, or do most work remotely via Codex web

[Nik @90_mp3]

@filipem1randa @Hi_Mrinal @grok maybe it's zed
