@Rettend1 @GitHubNext @vite_js @code probably not too hard! but there's a little bit of React-specific code in the core right now; we'd want to somehow detect which framework you want, or maybe specify it explicitly as a cell attribute?

zomg so cute. made with an embroidery-simulation shader https://t.co/mBCnhvayRE

[Mrmo Tarius @MrmoTarius]

The current "soft" max dimensions of 128x128 stitches in MRMO-STITCH is just enough to render Pico-8 stuff :D

@rsnous https://t.co/Wn9WZivSDe presents a shared memory segment on top of a network API

@pddykn @GitHubNext thanks for the report, fixed! https://t.co/j6bzejCWxR

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

your call is important to us

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

love this! so cool how you can build a large image out of generated parts, feels more like the user is in control vs. just prompting

[Amelia Wattenberger 🪷 @Wattenberger]

really enjoying building worlds in this Stable Diffusion-assisted moodboard

[Kyle Daigle @kdaigle]

At @GitHub Universe, I showed Blocks... one of @GitHubNext's experiments on how repos can be so much more than text files. With Blocks, you can build JS components that render & manipulate your entire repo. Use and build now at https://t.co/yby4pjC9vC and share your favorites! 🚀

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

love this, and in general the category of custom inspectors / debuggers. development environments should make it way easier to make these.

[Geoffrey Litt @geoffreylitt]

ooooh i'm having fun with this... just pick an emoji for each of your Redux actions, boom you now have a map of the execution for time travel debugging

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

I have to admit that I did not finish @JoshWComeau's CSS for JS Devs course (I will! someday!), but the first few chapters were really great and I learned a ton, highly recommended

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

@altluu @danluu eh I heard that's bloatware

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

heyyy a project I started like 9 years ago is in a @danluu tweet 😍

[Dan Luu @danluu]

Another odd thing about the unbatched RPC comment is that Twitter created the Stitch library, which allows for, among other things, easy batching for RPCs where appropriate

I believe the last remaining person who worked on that at Twitter was fired today

@rsnous really undermines the sense that you are running the code you wrote; opens a terrifying chasm in your grasp of what's going on

[Oege de Moor @oegerikus]

#GitHubNext has openings for machine learning researchers, ideally with experience in LLMs and/or code generation. Products not papers, over 94M users for your work, awesome team https://t.co/YfzTYJAtpr. Sounds good? Send me a DM!

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

excited to share some stuff we've been working on at @GitHubNext

[Amelia Wattenberger 🪷 @Wattenberger]

we can _finally_ talk about an experiment @GitHubNext in the works for a long time: GitHub Blocks!

tldr
✨
There's a lot more to your codebase than just.. code. We want to make it easier to create interactive docs, support your team workflows, and bring your repo to life

@yminsky tempting! no actually I wanted to play with Irmin

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

getting back in the game

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

@rsnous used to love to curl up with this book https://t.co/5sTaU32Jv8

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

love these. the physical world has a lot to offer to generative art

[Charlotte Dann @charlotte_dann]

Pausing working on pasta art for now but it will be back in a couple of weeks. Here are two of my favourite exports from last few days 💛

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

@rsnous the blank lines are essential, they give you room to work

[Jake Donham @jaked_again]

OH "we don't have bigger fish to fry but we do have a lot of other fish to fry"
