Working with Tom on this has been such a blast. I think there's a ton of untapped potential here and I'm stoked to see how far we can take this, especially with the help of y'all's feedback!

I had A LOT of fun designing the website for @VislyHQ State this week. Who would've thought that text drop shadows and borders would work?

I added unstable_batchedUpdates to our state management library and sped up every single interaction by 3x. Wow. I should have learned about unstable apis sooner.
We're looking to add a full stack developer to the @VislyHQ team. 100% typescript, react+node+electron, and lot's of interesting custom infrastructure. Check out https://t.co/ctEtZuXaIh for how to apply.
We will start inviting more people to try out https://t.co/kjVqFhL8qa in the coming weeks. After that we will invite people in batches, probably on a weekly basis. Make sure you sign up for early access to try it as soon as possible :)
Excited about building tools for developer and designers? I’m looking to expand the @vislyhq team with frontend and fullstack engineers. My DMs are open, get in touch 🤩 Distributed team. London or Stockholm preferred but anywhere in europe is fine!
