I’ve been contributing to Ghostty for a while now, and it’s been a really wonderful project, community, and code base. I’m very excited for Ghostty 1.0 and beyond!

🔍 I built a new thing: gh-find is here!

A find(1)-like utility for GitHub repositories. Search files across repos with glob patterns, filter by size/type/date, and get results fast with concurrent search & caching.

I contributed the core runtime files of my vim-graphql project to Vim itself: https://t.co/QYYdmiH4m1

This will give all vim/neovim users built-in support for the GraphQL file type.

Introducing Tags for Better Organization!

Tags are a great way to organize your articles with increased flexibility over folders, and are now live across all platforms.

Instapaper will continue to support both Folders and Tags to organize articles, and we’ve made it easy to convert folders into tags.

Neovim artfully avoided the "rewrite it in rust" catfish. We were waiting for Zig (harmonious instead of hostile with C/legacy):

To join the zig mafia, use nvim in ghostty developing a bun app.

Launching a private beta for @Instapaper Tags. DM me if interested!

I mean look at this

[Jon Parise @jparise]

Incandescent light bulbs are destined to become the next “floppy disk" anachronistic software icon. 💡

[Stewart Brand @stewartbrand]

Brief book report: BUILDING SIM CITY: How to Put the World in a Machine, by Chaim Gingold, is an exhilarating read.

It is one of the best origin stories ever told and the best account I've seen of how innovation actually occurs in computerdom. 🧵

@SirJolt @bthdonohue @instapaper The iOS version of the plugin should be working as of the latest version (1.0.4). Can you upgrade and let us know if that fixes the problem?

We ran into a difference between the Obsidian desktop (Electron) and iOS (WebKit) JavaScript environments that took a minute to sort out.

For the dozens of you who use ondir and wished for vim syntax support for .ondirrc files: https://t.co/ncVlPvqXCS

[Instapaper @instapaper]

We're also excited to launch our official @obsdmd plugin today. You can enable the plugin by searching for Instapaper in Obsidian Plugins. https://t.co/G74SBm2sVg

[Instapaper @instapaper]

We just launched Instapaper 8.6 for iOS and macOS, which includes Summaries, Custom Article Actions, and more!

Lots of nostalgia in this Telegard BBS set up video: https://t.co/2BAvakA9bv

I ran a Telegard BBS for a number of years and was a Telegard/2 (OS/2) beta site.

[Instapaper @instapaper]

Today, we're launching Instapaper Android 5.0 which redesigns the article list, improves reader settings, and fixes many, many bugs. https://t.co/zh7QnttbId

I'm going full-time on Instapaper (again!) https://t.co/YMfmoaUQpM

How to spot a senior engineer?

[Jon Parise @jparise]

This improvement just shipped as part of Firefox 123.0, marking my first code contribution to a Firefox release.

https://t.co/dXtFxtQmUT

[Jon Parise @jparise]

I spent some time getting acquainted with the Firefox source code over the holidays. It's been my primary browser for years, and I'm particularly interested in macOS-related improvements.

To get started, I made a small text input performance improvement: https://t.co/QTIMbrEXao

[Jon Parise @jparise]

It's a large, layered code base, but it was easy to bootstrap and build the code, and I'll hopefully find the time to contribute more.
