Sharing time 🎉
I have been working a lot on `@rocket/engine` which you can see as a sort of a nuxt/next equivalent but instead of vue/react it works best with web standards like custom elements, ES modules, template literals...
Watch out! Chrome has a huge bug with <input type="number"> which causes values to change unexpectedly.
It's fixed in Chrome 150, but that won't land until the end of June.
I've always been frustrated with the frontend code AI agents generate.
Backend logic, scripts, pure implementation? Usually pretty good.
But frontend? Often messy.
This might actually solve it. Really looking forward to trying it 👀

Since the day we started Documenso we knew that we would eventually have to write our own PDF library, and now we have!
Introducing LibPDF the library that we’ve always wanted for PDF parsing, manipulation and signing (MIT)
This year we pushed hard into enterprise: org support, SSO, custom domains, and SOC2 in progress.
Documenso is the open-source DocuSign alternative for teams that need deep integration and full control.
Upgrading your signing infra or tired of vendor lock-in? DMs are open.
Last week, I spoke at #Frontkon, Brno, Czech Republic, about the state of Progressive Web Apps (PWA), and again, I was amazed at how many available features are not used in web apps because people are simply unaware of them.
I spoke to many developers who were highly surprised about what is currently possible with web apps.
PWAs are a viable and cost-effective alternative to native apps. You only need one codebase to deploy an app on iOS, Android, and desktop and they can be freely distributed on the web without any app store dependencies.
Web apps can work offline for almost a decade now, yet most web apps don't.
Companies even sabotage their own web apps by making them dumbed-down versions of their native apps that only serve to promote their native counterparts.
Why?
Because many companies simply don't know or don't care. They think web apps are "not good enough" and quite frankly, I can't blame them.
Companies like X and Instagram have PWAs that don't even use half of the features available to them and that don't even work offline (while they can!)
So if they can't even do it, web apps must be bad, right?
Wrong.
Web apps can be so much better, but if even big companies don't bother, the smaller ones won't either.
I've made it my mission to educate and show what web apps are capable of (see https://t.co/CV8QNHvUe3) but without the support of big companies, the adoption of PWAs will have a long way to go.
We need more big companies to invest in web apps to show what is possible. It's in our joint interest to break free from the chains of app stores that can end your business whenever they want by kicking your app out of their stores.
These walled gardens shouldn't decide whether or not your business is allowed to compete. We should be allowed to deploy fully functional web apps that are not crippled by tech companies that deliberately hold back features to benefit the apps in their app stores.
That is what my mission is about.
We’re about to ship our last big refactor: multi-document envelopes ✉️
More than just sending multiple files, this update cleans up settings, fixes long-standing UX issues, and delivers the 10x experience we always imagined ✨
It also clears the way for the full release of API v2.0 🔌
More coming soon!
See what else we’ve shipped:

Today we’re launching our first homegrown AI model: an open source turn detection model for building voice agents.
Instead of relying solely on voice activity detection (VAD), which only considers when a user is speaking, our model also considers what has and is being said in the context of a conversation and predicts when a user is finished expressing their thoughts before the agent responds.
Conversations with AI voice agents using this new model flow much more naturally without constant interruptions from the AI— check it out (more videos, details, and code in the thread):
