Platform DX @Shopify. Created @preactjs.
Do more with less.

[Jason Miller 🦊⚛ @_developit]

Introducing Preact Signals: a reactive state primitive that is fast by default.

✅ feels like using plain values
🥳 automatic updates when values change
⏱ updates DOM directly (fast!)
🥹 no dependencies arrays

Soon you will be able to roll Preact in vite without Babel https://t.co/PzmpVzTvGs

What if a signal on the server could just be a signal on the client?

Wrote about @_developit's mixed-signals - it reflects server-side Preact Signals to clients over any transport. Write your state once as a model, decide where it runs.

No fetch glue. No cache invalidation. Just signals.

@wesbos lol yeah. though... I'd lay partial blame at the feet of CSS for that specific one haha

Has anyone else noticed mobile frontends (native and web) are getting increasingly terrible (as we descend into UX vibe coding?)?

I keep noticing I've developed ridiculous coping strategies like constantly copying input to clipboard in case it gets lost when sending.

@jbscript or the copyright that tells you what year the LLM training data was collected rather than the date the page was last updated

[Jason Miller 🦊⚛ @_developit]

@QuentinMerabet why test when you can RALPH

[Jason Miller 🦊⚛ @_developit]

@cultheroro @wesbos probably comes from the same vendor on the same boat anyway

[Jason Miller 🦊⚛ @_developit]

@rossmorsali lol maybe that's the shift - I'm using more frontends from the folks building LLM stuff, and that stuff is all rushed

[Jason Miller 🦊⚛ @_developit]

@ryanflorence its been going downhill for sure, but really feels like it's accelerated

@fnthawar If you haven't seen it, the Baroness Von Sketch Show is fucking hilarious (I assume this is a clip from it)

@georgeranch both. I routinely set up and steer serious/large PR work on my phone while I wander around the house trying to feel unchained from the desk

[Jason Miller 🦊⚛ @_developit]

I've been coding on my phone since 2010, what are people so confused about

[Jason Miller 🦊⚛ @_developit]

@NFS__21 lol good god no. I built a nice web app at work for agentic development. For personal stuff I suffer through Codex Web and Claude Code Web (bleeeeeeeeeh).

Back in the day though: phone with a keyboard and a shitty text editor.

[Jason Miller 🦊⚛ @_developit]

Figured I'd open source the little preact+signals mastodon client I wrote a few years ago, in case the code is useful to folks.

It's called https://t.co/67U5GWVmFx - a streaming, offline-first installable Mastodon web app that weighs under 100kb.

@aidenybai add Preact! same JSX element annotation as React but the tree is live and hangs off `__k` on the render root element.

[Jason Miller 🦊⚛ @_developit]

the fact that you can't even check similarity without fully publishing is absurd.

[Jason Miller 🦊⚛ @_developit]

npm's package name similarity validation for new packages is fucking ridiculous and should be killed

[Jason Miller 🦊⚛ @_developit]

@RyanCarniato @darylbarnes @trusktr fwiw when I use htm I tend to inject my components into createElement (preact vnode hook but you could also just bind htm to an intermediary function that remaps) so that I can do:

html`<my-comp num=${myNum} />`
