I made a telescope.nvim inspired app switcher for Windows!

🎉Launching Binocular!

It can switch or close windows as fast as you can type and use vim keybinds btw.

Built with Tauri and native windows APIs and is fully open source.

Check it out⬇️

@nrjdalal Does this handle nested folders?

Like what about

~/user
and
~/user/work

@MichaelArnaldi @marbemac @EffectTS_ What do you think is the best way to expose source code to an agent? I've been trying btca but I dont really like it

[Ali Bass @AliBassiouni]

if you build a cmd-k like feature into your app and don't add vim style navigate keybinds, what was even the point? ....@Spotify

Software engineering is turning into upgrading your town hall in clash of clans

We built a browser with GPT-5.2 in Cursor. It ran uninterrupted for one week.

It's 3M+ lines of code across thousands of files. The rendering engine is from-scratch in Rust with HTML parsing, CSS cascade, layout, text shaping, paint, and a custom JS VM.

It *kind of* works! It still has issues and is of course very far from Webkit/Chromium parity, but we were astonished that simple websites render quickly and largely correctly.

@ipla03 I like react-native-svg-transformer if I'm going to be using .svg files directly but as i understand, it's not the most performant

@ImLunaHey @opencode @cursor_ai Those are git diffs, not agent diffs. I use both.

Three levels:
1. agent diff (changes made by an LLM)
2. un-staged git changes
3. staged git changes

What a tweet

So, we are moving out of Next.js.

And I can instantly see that my NeoVim is happy and faster in reporting and debugging syntax errors and type issues.

Can't wait to see the performance gains on the actual website. Next is a bloat.

Hear me out... Eternity but in the himym universe and its ted mosby instead of joan

@samgoodwin89 @ImLunaHey @opencode @cursor_ai For what its worth, this is the actually the main reason i dont daily drive CC or opencode. I like being able to keep my git changes and agent changes separate and pick and choose.

@Danny_H_W I thought it was just my internet. I feel like its so prone to timing out silently.

@ccccjjjjeeee This is pretty much what plan mode in Cursor does and I really like the results

[drew! @jojtiny]

the concept of joji dropping music every time im going through radical changes in my life must be studied

So yeah no one told me it wouldve been better to jump off a bridge than watch normal people

@frankcalise If you're using expo go, stop.

Familiarize yourself with the native platforms.
