Every Node.js developer has lost a background job to a server restart.

We just open-sourced @platformatic/job-queue, a new queue library built for reliability from day one.

Deduplication, retries, request/response, graceful shutdown. All out of the box.

You know what kills your site performance?

Rendering 3000px of content when the user can only see 900px. And there is an easy fix for that.

It's a magical CSS property

content-visibility: auto.

The hooks are up on GitHub. To install, simply:

curl -sL "https://t.co/Ha5qeWQgom" | bash

Requires: macOS, Python 3, jq (brew install jq)

Config: ~/.claude/hooks/macos-audio-notify/config.sh

Just added macOS audio notifications to Claude Code via custom hooks.

Claude now emits system sounds when its window is focused, and text-to-speech when it's not focused.

Sounds and voices configurable via config file.

Modes: "auto" | "voice" | "sound" | "off"

To clarify, by “Built a custom skill” I mean I vibe-authored a couple of markdown files. 😅

But it worked, so. 🤷‍♂️

[James Furey @jamesfurey]

Just shifted a legacy Laravel 5.5 app I hadn't touched in nearly 10 years to Laravel 12 using Claude Code.

Built a custom skill that migrates one major version at a time, Docker environments per shift, full tracking docs so you can resume shifts across conversations.

[James Furey @jamesfurey]

The skill is up on GitHub. To install, simply:

curl -sL "https://t.co/FuRNEtBfsM" | bash

Then run /laravel-shift from your Laravel project in Claude Code.

New in @ChromeDevTools! Debug an app's full performance trace with Gemini!

After recording a trace, you can now chat with Gemini about the entire trace, related Performance insights, and even connected field data - all without needing to select specific context beforehand!

✨ The new Crystal upscaler is live

I spent weeks developing this..
and it finally solves the classic portrait upscaling problem 🤩

No more blurry faces
No more plastic skin
No change of identity

Just sharp, clean results
that actually look like the original, only better

@_catwu Hiya!

Claude Code can be frustrating when editing messages.

Pressing ⬆️ to edit the first line risks overshooting to the prior message, erasing the draft.

Returning with ⬇️ does not recover it.

I've deskflipped too many times.

Fix please? 🙏
