you can pass https://t.co/clHSbF9nJB to your agents (or add it to AGENTS.md) so they can use sketchicon.

introducing sketchicon!

A library of icons that feels hand-drawn, not generated...inspired by excalidraw.

- 1,739 customizable icons
- Tree-shakeable by design
- Simple to use, built for React

Use "npm i sketchicon" and make your icons fun

"npx t3 connect"

This one's been a lot of work. You can now set up remote control for T3 Code on any internet-connected box with literally one command. All for free.

T3 Connect is a minimal open source tunnel layer allowing you to control T3 Code instances remotely without needing Tailscale set up. I've been daily driving it for a month and it has changed how I code.

Julius and I put a lot of effort into making setup as smooth as possible.

Step 1: Install Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Grok Build
Step 2: Run "npx t3 connect"
Step 3: Click link and sign in
Step 4: You can now control that computer on T3 Code web, desktop or mobile (dropping very soon)

We are currently providing this for free (s/o CloudFlare for bumping our tunnel limits). Every user can connect up to 3 devices.

We don't want to charge for this, but if the bill gets unacceptable we may have to change course. If you hit limits or have issues, you can always fork, self host, or use Tailscale.

T3 Connect may seem like a small ergonomic win. Tbh that's exactly what it is. Regardless, it's one I'm really proud of.

was reading about how DNS resolution works...how a domain name gets resolved to an IP (browser cache, nameservers and everything in between).

wrote down a simple explanation for it!

We've made text-to-diagram better.

Chat interface. Streaming. Smarter. Faster. Stronger.

The idea is to generate an initial draft from a plan, get another model to review it, and then use a third model to produce the final output.

Still got a lot to improve, not happy with current quality. LLMs love em dashes and keep generating them even when explicitly told not to

hot take: i automate everything in my life. not because i'm lazy (okay, maybe a little) but mostly because it rewired my brain.

personally and professionally, automation has been the single best investment of my time.

most automations are just very basic python scripts but they train you to spot patterns everywhere. repetitive tasks jump out at you. your threshold for "good enough" shifts upward. the bar keeps rising without you realizing it.

people around you settle for less. but you don't. you ask "why are we still doing this manually?"

people start noticing, not because you are showing off. because you're solving real problems they didn't know could be solved.

if you're doing something the same way every day, automate it. if a task doesn't need your judgment but takes your time, automate it. reward is not just you saving 5-10 minutes, it's training yourself to see possibilities.

you won't know what can be automated until you start automating. each script teaches you to spot the next one.

and most importantly it's fun. there's genuine joy in watching a script do work you used to dread. in turning tedious into trivial.

the people who automate don't just get more done. they think differently. they build different careers.

start small. one script. one annoying task. see where it takes you. 🥂

The fear around not being ambitious enough holds people back from being ambitious. Starting a small at-home biz that sells fresh cookies is ambitious. So is trying to start a big company. Doing anything out of the norm, no matter how big or small, is ambitious and takes guts man.

Recently we were facing an issue at my workplace with video rendering...the entire video was being rendered in the browser, slowing down the performance and ruining UX.

So i worked on optimising the video streaming and wrote a blog on how and what I built to fix it!
