forms in software ui haven't changed in decades & are less malleable than forms on paper
you can't even copy & paste an entire form!

why are all agent harnesses built around append-only chat logs? they can be anything. I want my plan to be like a Google Doc with comment threads to the side that the agent can reply to & modify a shared working document together

Cursor's ask question tool is hopelessly broken-i just want it disabled

🔥 New blog post: Dark mode toggles that expose three visible states (system, light, dark) seem like the best option.

Until you think about user goals, that is.

Before rushing to disagree, hear me out.

i needed css styles to target a semver range of html generated by library, e.g. >=3.4.5

pure css can do this! using the starts with attribute selector and encoding the current generator version with tallies

We made a tool that lets you absorb the vibe of anything you point it at and apply it to your designs

It's absurd and it just works

i honestly think Skills work so well partly because models like the word better than rules… like i just learned this skill and leveled up vs here’s a dumb rule to ignore

[NYC Water @NYCWater]

NYC saw a significant reduction in water usage throughout the five boroughs during the Super Bowl’s #BadBunny halftime show yesterday, but in the 15 minutes right after the show ended, there was a spike in usage equivalent to 761,719 toilets flushing across town.#SBLX

dragging the popover out of the trigger

ios26 style transition between trigger and popover in css — there's been a lot of focus on the liquid glass effect but this pattern of positioning actions under your pointer is really nice

@sebastienlorber secret third option: import.meta.cache()
https://t.co/kZQ5rWbhDK

[erev @ericrav]

i'm not bothered by the "use cache" directives, but i wonder why import.meta hasn't caught on as a common place for bundler magic to happen like vite's import.meta.glob

could be import.meta.cache(function CachedComponent() { ... })

super cool model but leaving this long-running would be a problem, maybe there could be another primitive like sleep() for cron jobs that didn't have to load the full event log for every previous run? @pranaygp

[erev @ericrav]

i was curious how this worked: after every Nth sleep(), the workflow loads every previously run step and replays the while loop N times

You can

𝚊𝚜𝚢𝚗𝚌 𝚏𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗 𝚍𝚊𝚒𝚕𝚢() {
"𝚞𝚜𝚎 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚔𝚏𝚕𝚘𝚠";
𝚠𝚑𝚒𝚕𝚎 (𝚝𝚛𝚞𝚎) {
𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚒𝚝 𝚜𝚕𝚎𝚎𝚙("1 𝚍𝚊𝚢");
𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚒𝚝 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐();
}
}

It’s wild how robust the model is. It seems magical but it’s ackchually super consistent

That said, we will make the cron use case nicer. You can also drop the second 𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚒𝚝 to adjust the periodicity and not let the duration of 𝚢𝚘𝚞𝚛𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚗𝚐 influence the time of the day the job starts at.
