@peedeegee This reminded me of something. During the gas shortage, I found people like this couple worried more about not being able to serve others than about feeding themselves.

Kolkata has no shortage of such people — and that's exactly why it feels like home, even to strangers.

[Aftab Alam🔆 @aftabbuddy]

Hospitality was never about the setting — it was always about whether you saw the person in front of you. That's Kolkata for you.
Some places just operate differently. No manual, no policy. Just instinct. And this isn't rare here — Kolkata has always understood luxury differently

[Pratim D Gupta @peedeegee]

Near Girish Chandra Dey & Sons sweet shop in Kolkata’s Lake Market, there’s a cart. No signboard. No branding. The wife assembles plates. The husband makes rotis. That’s it.

No written menu. You figure it out from the smell. Chicken curry. Veg kofta. Duck egg kosha. Basanti pulao. Chicken liver curry. And prices that feel like a mistake.

I’d gone to pick up duck egg kosha for my Maa. She has a thing about haansher dim. I was waiting, watching. Plate. Ladle. Roti. Steam. Phonepe. The usual.

Then a man walked in from the direction of Lake Mall. Office clothes, slightly worn. Small plastic bag in hand.

“I work there,” he said, nodding toward the mall. Then: “Aaj shudhu ruti enechhi. Torkaari lagbe… taka kaal debo?”
(Brought rotis today. Need some vegetables… can I pay tomorrow?)

No pause.

The wife reached for a plate. Mixed vegetables. Then egg curry — not asked for, just added.

“Aage khao, taakar kotha pore hobe.”
Eat first. Money can wait.

The husband took the plastic bag, warmed the rotis on his tawa, handed them back.

No word. Just done.

The man sat on the ledge nearby and ate.

Will a restaurant with mood lighting and a curated playlist do this?

Somewhere, size got in the way. Compassion became a process.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Here, if you’re hungry, you eat. That’s the whole system.

And somehow that’s the most premium experience in the city.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ In any city.

LAUNCH WEEK RECAP -- Here's everything we launched this week:

[serhii @serhii_be]

Today I’m excited to announce the start of a project I’ve dreamed about for years:

ui/pub — a registry of the highest-quality @shadcn components, blocks, and templates.

Designed beautifully. Carefully coded. Built to ship fast.

#buildinpublic

[Aftab Alam🔆 @aftabbuddy]

@calcsam Yes, that's a better upside :-)

[Aftab Alam🔆 @aftabbuddy]

This was much needed.

This will save someone from maintaining a "https://t.co/iXpShpE0O1" :-)

[Sam Bhagwat @calcsam]

lots of people were making mcp registries

so we made an mcp registry registry

[Guillermo Rauch @rauchg]

React has agreed to renaming `className` to `class`. On by default in the next Next.js release.

Utility-first CSS baked right into your browser, thus making it a language it simply gets, just like CSS 👌

[Adam Wathan @adamwathan]

Big news — we've partnered with Apple to integrate Tailwind CSS into Safari directly, making it the first browser that can render Tailwind sites with 0kb of CSS over the wire.

Do your part and ship your sites with no CSS file to force other browsers to do the same 🤘🏻

[Astro @astrodotbuild]

We just hit 50,000 GitHub stars 🤩

Thanks everyone!

@criscounters @shadcn There's https://t.co/uho97fYiwH too, getting built as a shadcn/ui for RN using @nativewindcss

[Aftab Alam🔆 @aftabbuddy]

Yes, that's what sets it apart. It's one of the greatest one at that.

[shadcn @shadcn]

shadcn is a component distribution system.

[Astro @astrodotbuild]

Thought Astro 5.3 could only be 1.92% better than 5.2?

How about 400% faster rendering?

Do more of what you love about the schema defining, validation and parsing libraries and less of what you don't like when you switch them.

[colinhacks/zod @colinhacks]

BIG DAY. Introducing Standard Schema 1.0!

It's a specification for a "common interface" to be implemented by all TypeScript schema libraries, written collaboratively by the the creators of Zod (👋), Valibot, and ArkType to promote interoperability.
