I'm genuinely excited about what I'm building.

Today I finished extracting the core of the visual editor from my previous startup.

I looked at existing solutions like Puck, but I realized I wanted something with a different architecture. I didn't want the editor to own everything. I wanted the editor to be just a thin layer on top of a reusable core.

The core doesn't know anything about sidebars, property panels, drag & drop, or even React components. Those are just implementations that plug into it. Exactly like in VS Code.

That separation makes it much easier to swap pieces, experiment, and reuse the same backbone across completely different products.

If it keeps feeling this clean as it grows, I'll probably open-source the core.

Back to building.

Day 2.
The new project is already underway.
I'm reusing and evolving a lot of the tooling I built for my previous startup instead of starting from scratch.
Turns out the most valuable thing I built wasn't just the product , it was the infrastructure behind it.

Working on a visual editor today. I'll share pieces of it as it evolves, but the actual product stays under wraps until it's ready.

I've spent way too much time on WeselneMomenty.
Polished it endlessly, sold some one-time licenses, but finding customers and marketing has been painful. I'm just not good at it. So I'm making a change.English version coming + I'm going after the US market.

But the bigger shift: I'm building a new micro-startup every month from now on. Everything I built and refactored on this project becomes the foundation for the next ones. I'll post daily notes here about how it's actually going. No hype, no early reveals - I'll only talk about a product once it's ready to ship with decent quality. If you're into building in public or micro-startups, follow along. Let's see if this works.

Folks, SST & Alchemy expect me to deploy the app & change infra when needed? How is it safe?
Terraform plan is safer! Split app deploy from infra changes. Common sense! Causes tremendous problems. Believe me!

Folks, starting an mobile app has NEVER been easier! React Native is the absolute BEST - build once for iOS & Android. Expo? TREMENDOUS tool! Simple, powerful, launch in minutes. Pure WINNING! 🚀📷

Unkey, Granola, Midday are good examples of using shadcn/ui over time. Started with the default components, a bit of branding and shipped v1.

When the time came (more resources, funding, hires), they rebranded. And when they did, the code was right there. Their code. Code that had evolved with the product.

[GitHub @github]

Starting June 1st, GitHub Copilot will move to a usage-based billing model as GitHub Copilot supports more agentic and advanced workflows.

In early May, you'll see a preview bill experience, giving visibility into projected costs before the transition.

@encoredotdev I love encore but I still prefer terraform for infra ❤️

[TypeScript @typescript]

TypeScript 7.0 Beta is here!

Built on a new native and parallelized foundation, it's already being used on multi-million line codebases.

Read up more here and try it on your projects today!

Working on the dashboard in TanStack Start.

Really liking the DX so far, everything feels more explicit, less hidden behind magic. Easier to reason about what’s actually happening.
At the same time tweaking the internal API for my scheduler. Small changes, but making it much cleaner.
Slow progress, but solid. #buildinpublic

[Mack @_xmazu]

Still pretty much a noob when it comes to Go.
But I have to say, it's kind of… relaxing? No overthinking, no crazy abstractions. Just write the thing and it works.
Using it now to build a small Terraform scheduler for my open source project.

Feels simple. In a good way.
