Every website you’ve ever used is broken in a way you never noticed and it’s been this way for 30 years...

A Midjourney engineer finally just fixed it.

It’s called Pretext:
A tiny library that lets websites lay out text the way magazines and newspapers do, with text flowing around images, wrapping into columns, and fitting perfectly into any shape, all at 120fps.

This has been basically impossible on the web for 30 years. Every website you’ve ever used relies on the same clunky system from the 90s to figure out where text goes on screen. Pretext bypasses it entirely. 500x faster.

The demos look like they shouldn’t be possible in a browser. Go look.

consumer is fun but hard to sell

[Tom Goodwin @tomfgoodwin]

When are tech folk going to get that people like wasting time, it's life. They don't optimize for efficiency, they try to get by, they watch dumb stuff, they enjoy shopping. Inefficiency is another work for living and life.

Your m mean and median job isn't a software engineer in Menlo Park, it's Ashley in accounts in a not for profit in Columbus, it's Jesse , the office manager for a tool rental business in Tallahassee, they are more likely to use a Fax machine than Slack.

They quite like meetings because they like chatting, they'll use AI to make a better invite to their baby shower, not agentify their job.

These people, nor their bosses boss, aren't in a rush to build software as a side hustle, they are keen to use AI to check if their vet is overcharging them. They'd like AI to check spelling on the email to the school governor.

They don't want agentic commerce, they want AI to be in the background and make living a little less stressful

need more defense tech startups - thinking on this

no service areas with built in agents you can call via old pay phones

i don’t want to ship apps quickly. I’m already on the toilet with IBS

[yoni rechtman @yrechtman]

Growing suspicion that there are vanishingly few use cases for consumer agents. People don’t do work in their personal lives. The only people who do are sf dorks using spreadsheets to plan trips to tahoe

it’s easier than ever to toy with an idea and experiment visually. Decisions are easier to make.

@downloadlos Print it out - feel the page - iterate

[Gina @ifelseworks]

I like how Claude gives me their “honest opinion” after I pivot on an idea.

Git City is fun and visual. Love coming across projects like this.

[Prasenjit @Star_Knight12]

Someone vibe coded a 3D city where every GitHub developer is a building.

It is called Git city where more commits means taller building and more repos means wider base.

Light windows shows that you were active recently.

You can even fly through the entire city and find your building just by searching your username.

And honestly, this is what vibe coding actually looks like at its best.

[Gabriel Valdivia @gabrielvaldivia]

It's never been easier to build an app.

People have never been less interested in downloading one.
