@plainionist@thegrimscalper RSC, edge SSR, service workers, cache invalidation across CDN nodes, state reconciliation between server and client. What would you call it?
@leyeConnect Yes! And listen to this...as an old. If you feel intimidated and impostery, you're growing. Always try to exist professionally on that edge of discomfort.
@solarise_webdev I agree with you. I think the framing was wrong as this disseminated across X. It was heralded as the second coming of text rendering, when really it gave us more editorial flexibility like InDesign. Not revolutionary, but useful!
I know you're all getting mighty tired of seeing typography on your timeline today!
But here's a pretext.js demo that (hopefully) isn't a crime against justification and indentation.
@thegrimscalper@plainionist OP clearly hasn't worked on a modern codebase. Frontend is v much distributed systems architecture atp. The delineation of front end vs back end is blurrryyy in 2026.
@jayrizpop Illustration as your brand aesthetic is expensive to maintain, logistically and monetarily, even with a staff designer. I totally agree with you, but this requires a heavy (firm) hand in implementation.
