@adrianmg @paper Wish I could! Currently building said stuff to ship it :)

Had the opportunity to play with fable 5.2 for a little while now and I gotta say, 5.2 + @paper is a pretty unstoppable combo.

I’ve been surprised by many design explorations with it. First model I’ve considered to be impressive with expanding on an existing visual language.

@samuelkraft @pontusab Wait wut. Why would they do that?!

@designertom @inflight @ridd_design @kbarber @veergadodia Where do I sign?

[Derek Briggs @PixelJanitor]

@almonk @shadcn @superlogical It really is. The mobile access experience is mint.

[Derek Briggs @PixelJanitor]

Same for me now too. Single Rex main thread with instructions to keep the main chat always available by always running tasks in other side worker threads that report back to the main thread.

[Chris Tate @ctatedev]

My sanity has been restored

I only talk to one agent now

Sometimes TUI, sometimes GUI

But always only one chat

It's been absolutely *thrilling* to team up with with Michael and the Remix team lately. Contributing by introducing new tooling and api's based on the level of quality we're achieving around the software we're building with it has unlocked a whole new level of excitement.

[MJ @mjackson]

Remix 3 is getting really, really good. Lots of small refinements in this release. And our release cadence is increasing quickly.

@designertom @ridd_design When we started chatting I mentioned it would have been fun to have you hanging too. Miss you, bud 🫶🏻

[Derek Briggs @PixelJanitor]

Getting so much amazing feedback on this already. Thanks so much to Ridd and the dive team for having me back again ❤️

@mclaneteitel @tryramp Rooting you on hardcore from the sidelines, dude 🙌🏻

[Derek Briggs @PixelJanitor]

@adrianmg Gosh no kidding. It’s idea after idea that seem finally possible and feel like they just need to exist.

This is why you use motiondev. Because Matt thinks about all the things so that you don’t have to.

[Matt Perry @mattgperry]

Transform/clipPath/filter/opacity animations aren't a magic bullet for great performance.

They can run in (essentially) three modes. Paint-triggering, compositor rendering, and compositor animation. When and why each type of animation runs is pretty confusing 🧵
