📣 Massive day for @pierrecomputer — Code Storage is now generally available!

Expressly built for machines and the massive agentic volume we’re seeing. More repos/second than any other code host and already home to some of the best platforms.

[Jacob @fat]

Signups are now open on Code[dot]Storage.

Today, more new repos are created per second on Code Storage than any other platform.

Lovable, Bolt, Amp, Poke, and many more of the largest agentic workloads store their code and agent memory at scale using https://t.co/oJLq0faUTg.

an announcement from the pierre computer company

[OpenAI Newsroom @OpenAINewsroom]

Today we’re announcing that OpenAI will acquire @pierrecomputer to accelerate our vision for making Codex a place where teams can build software together with AI, from first idea to the version they ship.

Pierre’s open-source developer tools already power parts of Codex today. Together, we’ll build on that foundation for the agentic era.

@karrisaarinen Me, to Safari as a forever user as well.

New syntax highlighting library from @pierrecomputer has landed and, spoiler alert, it's really fast.

[Pierre @pierrecomputer]

Today we're launching an exciting new project: Highlights

Highlights is a syntax highlighter that outputs HTML. It improves on both speed and correctness compared to the existing industry standard libraries.

It's an optional drop-in replacement in Diffs, and it's ready to use today. In fact, it's already powering diffshub․com!

Check it out at https://t.co/jji0c8fzC4
OR `pnpm install @​pierre/highlights`

@morganknutson @zeeg Oh this is fun, nicely done! OSS maintainers probably outliers on the history front. https://t.co/gXXYIi1NzT

[Mark Otto @mdo]

Still been working on thse new @pierrecomputer icons and plugins to help. Here's a video of the latest version. Still fine-tuning overlays, masks, and more across the three sizes, but this makes it so simple.

[Mark Otto @mdo]

I've been redrawing the icons we use at @pierrecomputer. Along the way, I've been whipping up plugins to help me manage them—like this Layer Swap tool for "composite icons." Allows me to swap every instance of each layer with ease. Much faster, much easier.

[Mark Otto @mdo]

@kitlangton Congrats y’all!

[Mark Otto @mdo]

So in your own Sass, you use the new module system to import Bootstrap and then you can start customizing at any level. We still have some Sass variables for global configuration but everywhere else, we did our best to use token maps and CSS variables for styling.

[Mark Otto @mdo]

One of my favorite changes in Bootstrap 6 is token maps. They’re Sass maps for CSS variables that get emitted on component class or `:root`, meaning no matter how you customize Bootstrap (in Sass or compiled CSS), you’re just writing CSS. Stoked we came up with this solution.

[Mark Otto @mdo]

Absolutely huge day today—Bootstrap 6 Alpha 1 has arrived! Refreshed design, updated docs, new components, new Sass/CSS approach, more modern frontend stack, updated tooling. https://t.co/7R2bb2lNyv

[Mark Otto @mdo]

On the `:root` (which also has `:host` for web component folks), these token maps get merged together and everything emits all at once. This way, global overrides function the same as component ones.

[Mark Otto @mdo]

@iamdavidhill @anomalyco Love these

[Mark Otto @mdo]

@MarkusNordaus @astrodotbuild Honestly Hugo is just so different than how I think or work, and it felt extremely wrong that I couldn't understand how my docs worked. Moving to Astro might be slower—Hugo so fast!—but it's much more approachable to me.

@GavinJaynes 67M downloads last week?

[Mark Otto @mdo]

@anatolinicolae @simeonGriggs We removed the component ages ago and made an example to show folks. All the v6 examples need an update still. More to come there.

[Mark Otto @mdo]

@simeonGriggs There's no jumbotron—hasn't been for awhile :)

gta 6 is happening because bootstrap 6 is happening

[Mark Otto @mdo]

And speaking of the blog, it's a triple ship day! New Bootstrap 6, new Icons release, and new blog design. The latter have been refreshed to be built on @astrodotbuild, include search via Pagefind, have new v6-based designs, and overall new designs. https://t.co/CIPSZopPXm

[Mark Otto @mdo]

I wrote way too many words about Bootstrap 6 on our blog. So many that I had to split it across several blog posts, some of which I haven't even finished yet. Suffice to say, it's a huge release and I'm hyped for getting it stable in the coming weeks.
