I've been incredibly impressed with @paper - easily the biggest unlock in my work since Claude Code itself.
Here I show how I used Paper and Claude Code to generate animated product mockups. My prompts were low effort for a quick test, and the output is excellent.
@stephenhaney is Paper a product design tool, or is it eyes for Claude? You're onto something amazing, congrats.
The West poured $50 billion into fast breeder nuclear reactors and abandoned every single one. India poured $900 million and just achieved criticality on the first commercially viable one outside Russia.
The US spent $15 billion. Gave up. Japan spent $12 billion. Their Monju prototype had one sodium fire in 1995 and never recovered. The UK spent $8 billion. Germany spent $6 billion. France, Italy, all walked away. Six of the richest nations on Earth concluded this technology was too hard and too expensive to pursue.
India started building in 2004 with an initial budget of $420 million. Twenty-two years, a dozen missed deadlines, and a cost doubling later, the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam just sustained a controlled fission chain reaction. The reactor is now alive.
The reason India never quit is a constraint most people have never thought about. India has only 1-2% of the world's uranium reserves. For a country of 1.4 billion people trying to build energy independence, that's a death sentence if you're running conventional nuclear.
But India has 25% of the world's thorium. The single largest national reserve on Earth.
The problem: you can't just burn thorium the way you burn uranium. A physicist named Homi Bhabha designed a three-stage nuclear program in the 1950s specifically to solve this. Stage 1: burn natural uranium in heavy water reactors, collect plutonium as a byproduct. Stage 2: feed that plutonium into fast breeder reactors, where it breeds MORE plutonium AND converts thorium into fissile uranium-233. Stage 3: burn thorium directly at scale.
India just entered Stage 2. Seventy years after Bhabha drew it up on paper.
The math on the thorium endgame is wild. At current energy consumption rates, India's thorium reserves could power the country for over 700 years. Most nuclear nations are playing a uranium game with maybe 80-100 years of runway. India is playing a completely different game with a 7x longer fuel supply.
The West quit because uranium stayed cheap and sodium coolant is terrifying. It catches fire on contact with air. It explodes on contact with water. Russia's BN-600 had 27 sodium leaks and 14 sodium fires between 1980 and 1997. And Russia kept going anyway because Russia doesn't quit nuclear projects. India watched all of that and kept going too.
When you have 1% of the uranium but 25% of the thorium, the engineering difficulty stops being a reason to quit. It becomes the price of admission to a 700-year energy supply that nobody else can access.
We don't talk about @paper the business very much, but I wanted to share a huge milestone:
Paper is now profitable! And growing FAST. Like really fast.
Paper was born from a love for design. These values will always guide us. I'm so honored and proud that we get to do this in a sustainable way.
So get used to us, we'll be around for a while. We are just getting started :)
Claude Code leaked their source map, effectively giving you a look into the codebase.
I immediately went for the one thing that mattered: spinner verbs
There are 187
> Anthropic ships Claude Code as an npm package
> someone runs `ls` on the source map
> entire codebase just sitting there. unobfuscated.
> plugins, skills, tools, hooks, commands - everything
> internal architecture of the most hyped AI coding agent, fully readable
> Anthropic says nothing
> meanwhile they're selling Enterprise contracts
> the source map was in the registry the whole time
> nobody checked
security through obscurity lasted about 3 months.
Always been in love with grids and isometrics, so here’s an experimental project.
Overpowering svgs to adapts to the 3D planes of other elements and animate with real world physics
Next step: use gemini 3.1 to generate svg elements that behave syncronously with each other and export as a ready to go lottie or gif.
Thinking of calling it iso. Thoughts?
Stay ahead
Today we're announcing Paper Snapshot
Snapshot your live website and paste it into Paper as editable layers
• start from your real site
• no more screenshots
• uses real html/css
What will you make? Link in replies 🎶
COBE v2: reliably use any DOM elements as markers & arcs. CSS transition, animation, filter, interactivity, ...all just work.
High perf, zero deps, still ~5KB. Coming soon.
Dear @ICC,
We wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the recent T20 World Cup, a global cricketing spectacle on a scale unlike any other in past years. It was so good that several nations decided not to leave upon their tournament exit, and it appears they might never do so.
As for us, the tournament brought drama and infamy. We staked our claim to replace the forfeiting Pakistan, then realised the harsh economic and logistical realities of international sport. Colombo is not Reykjavík, in so many ways. Then we had the unforfeiture of Pakistan, an event that actually vindicated our 'stay-at-home, fire it out online' strategy. They knew their plan and played it like a fish.
Let's not forget the actual cricket. The associate nations nearly caused several shocks - both Nepal, Netherlands, and Italy all coming within a whisker of a win over the big boys. Then there was the classic match between Afghanistan and South Africa, which was so good they did the Super Over twice.
At the end of the day, it was India's tournament to host and they delivered, blasting more than 500 runs across the semis and final. They brought the fire. We watched and tried to learn, but lava bedded wickets are not quite the same. Conquering Iceland remains the ultimate litmus test of a batter.
We count the statistics and arrive at an aggregate count of 245 posts by us on X and 3,420 loaves of bread baked by our captain, Dushan Bandara, across the tournament as a whole. Our Chairman, a ship captain, steered all voyages safely into harbour.
And finally, the world famous Íslensk Premier League (ÍPL) is now only two months away, the T20 franchise tournament with a sub-Arctic twist. We wait patiently and keep our keyboards warm.
Yours sincerely,
Icelandic Cricket Association
Your computer, finally personal.
Today we're launching Glaze, the second product in Raycast's history. It's a big moment for us, and I want to share the thinking behind it.
Something is fundamentally changing about software. We see it every day inside our own team. People who never wrote a line of code are now contributing directly to our codebase. The barrier between "having an idea" and "making it real" is collapsing. And that changes everything.
For six years, we've obsessed over what makes a great desktop app. The speed. The polish. The feeling of something that truly belongs on your computer. We've poured that into Raycast, and hundreds of thousands of people use it every day. But all that knowledge was locked inside our team.
With Glaze, we're commoditizing it. Everything we've learned about building beautiful, capable desktop apps is now available to everyone. Tell Glaze what you want and it builds a real app that lives in your dock or taskbar. It launches instantly, works offline, and taps into the full power of your desktop. Beautiful by default and personal when you want it to be.
It's fun for individuals and works just as well for teams. Our support team built a Glaze app connected to GitHub that runs their entire extension review workflow. Others have built dozens of internal tools. When you can shape software around how your team actually works, everything clicks.
Here's what gets me most excited: we think Raycast becomes even more important in a world full of Glaze apps. Glaze apps will be deeply integrated with Raycast, connecting them all together in ways nobody else can do. The two products make each other better.
A small team started building Glaze from scratch last summer. What they've shipped in that time still blows my mind. When we started Raycast, we set out to change how people use their computers. Glaze is the next chapter of that mission.
We're opening the private beta today, March 4th. Mac only to start. Existing Raycast users will get priority access soon. We can't wait to see what you create and I’ll share some of my apps over the next couple of days.
