@adamwathan This looks awesome! I'm curious, is there still a way to access the config in JS? We currently use this to dynamically document our design tokens in Storybook.

@stevekrouse @ValDotTown Ahh thanks Steve! Congrats on building such a cool platform, really looking forward to seeing how it progresses 😍

Hey, I built a thing using @ValDotTown and it was fun! https://t.co/sy4svCLfDr

@jarredsumner Bun test is starting to look really cool (and crazy fast), I was wondering if anyone was working on an equivalent of https://t.co/Sl95pAyH9W?

Anyone playing with the @vercel preview comments beta, save yourself some trial and error by adding this to your CSP.

@markboulton It’s all about creating a hostile environment. Whiskey, ginger, chilli, lemon juice, bit of honey if you must.

@adrianmg Or if you’re in a highly collaborative cross functional team, does it matter?

Utterly bewildering Govt attack on solar farms. Solar is a win-win for energy & food security - it's *9 times cheaper* than climate-wrecking oil & gas (and much faster to deploy too), and fields with solar panels can still produce food. Who's behind these nonsensical Govt plans?

This weekend I've been playing with DOM and WebGL layers interacting together. It's amazing what you can cook these days with #threejs / #r3f / #lamina / #drei. Thanks for hard work @pmndrs, especially @0xca0a

@acemarke I worked on a project a few years ago and the Mixpanel package was huge… we ended up switching to Amplitude and just calling their API directly without a frontend SDK.

@danielweinmann I’d be really cautious of putting all your eggs in one tech basket, full stack frameworks in general don’t enforce a separation of concerns which can make future refactoring a nightmare. There’s also a lack of diversity of thought in a team of engineers with the same skill set.

@selftaughtstph That compose button looks so awkward ☹️

Wowow did you see all of the new patterns that just landed from @argyleink's GUI Challenges series?!

🥳 So many new patterns for you to pick up and use!

- Interactive headings
- Lots of components like breadcrumbs, split button, etc.
- Color schemes ++
