@enunomaduro Ah, that’s a shame they still make it so hard. Maybe next 24-hour livestream should be « Getting dev/null published on the App Store » and it’s just you battling Apple bureaucracy.

[Sarah Dayan @frontstuff_io]

@emilkowalski Ah! I was looking forward to working with you and only missed you by a few weeks 🫢

[Sarah Dayan @frontstuff_io]

Last week was the end of my journey at @algolia after 8 and a half wonderful years. I’m so grateful for the people I’ve met and the opportunities I’ve had to work on projects I’m proud of.

As for what’s next, I’m *floored* (and cannot wait) to be joining @linear in November 🎉

[Adam Wathan @adamwathan]

Big one today — Tailwind is joining Shopify 🛍️

[Sarah Dayan @frontstuff_io]

@adamwathan @cassidoo Oh wow. Congratulations Adam and team!

So @raunofreiberg just asked me why there was a 1px wide 'background.png' image on a site archive we were looking at and I feel nine hundred years old 😭

« Byte-identical », one of Claude’s favorite expressions, becomes « bit-à-bit identique » when you talk to it in French and I thought y’all should know.

My friend and former coworker @LukyVJ is open to freelance missions. He's one of the top most creative people I know, with an exceptional eye for detail, and he is a delight to work with.

DM or tag him for projects 📨

[Luky - A$AP Luky @LukyVJ]

I’m open to new freelance missions.

E-com, landing pages, product/community websites, dashboards, email automation, and custom front-end.

UX, responsive, animations, perf, tracking, launch.

Creator of Sqlite on pull requests: "You say, oh, it's free. No. It's not free. What you're doing is asking me ... to maintain it for you, to to document it for you, to test it for you, to maintain it for you for the next 25 years. That's not free." Yep.

Wise words from a wiser man than me. I've told people for the past decade and I have recent posts on here saying the same: the merge button is the easy part. Its the decade+ (Richard says 25 years) that follows where you've accepted the transfer of maintenance thats hard.

The replies are wild. Folks jump straight to the technical part and miss how much mastery goes into knowing what makes a thoughtful scenario, what to emphasize or simplify, and the effort it takes to execute well.

Not because you know the recipe means you can cook a 3-star dish.

WHO IS MAING THESE VIDEOS

they are so well done. I need to see the process they use to slice up and animate the UI

Ok, this is insanely cool.

🚨SOMEONE REINVENTED HOW TEXT RENDERS ON THE WEB AND ITS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

the goated dev behind react, reasonML, and midjourney’s frontend, just dropped Pretext. a tiny typescript library that measures and lays out text 500x faster than the DOM.

he trained models against real browser rendering for weeks until the output matched safari, chrome, and firefox exactly.

the demos are insane!! hundreds of thousands of text boxes at 120fps. magazine layouts and chat bubbles that actually wrap right.

engineers from Vercel, Remix, Figma, and shadcn all cosigned. this is the kind of open source that makes you want to be a better dev.

here are some cool demos in the past 24hrs👇

@LukyVJ Let’s wait it out 🥱

[Luky - A$AP Luky @LukyVJ]

Being part of the staff of #ReactParis from @BeJS_ this year was amazing!

So good to see all that energy flowing in the room; I'm really happy for all the friends I've seen and can't wait for the next one!

Impressive learnings from the Payfit migration from microfrontends to monorepo and platformization.

Not just metrics, but the process of earning trust and proving value over mandates. Bravo @beaussan ! #ReactParis

[Sarah Dayan @frontstuff_io]

How to share UI and behavior at scale with different data restrictions? Taylor Quinn-Bohmann touches on module federation, and how to treat the frontend as a platform instead of a collection of isolated applications. #ReactParis
