Celebrate Friday with our new Party Mode. We started by adding theme support, then thought, what if you could browse themes like you browse diffs, and at the same time, and just as fast?

try it with your fav public diff (shift + click to change speeds)

What an upgrade! 2014 -> 2026.

hand-rolled 2000-style -> @pierrecomputer diffs and trees.

Coming soon to @GogsHQ 0.15.0+dev.

We were curious what rendering Bun's rust rewrite would look like if we used our JS based diffs and trees.

It worked pretty well, so we added a slider to 100x it.

Still works well.

100m+ changed lines in a browser.

Hey thanks for chiming in! ❤️

Besides the sesrch, the graph view navigation really needs to support more than just mouse drag and drop, the way Figma handles it would be ideal personally, i.e., normal scroll up/down, shift+scroll left/right. Which is also what I implemented myself in my graph view.

In a recent experience, the UI either gave up refreshing altogether, or it’s really just very slow to render, might have been fixed with the linked version.

Besides that, the generated connectrpc client for Go is having a init panic bug that I actually had to monkey-patch it.

If you use @akuityio Kargo, but managing hundreds of stages, if you why its current UI sucks so much. Not even having a builtin search is crazy.

That's why I vibe-coded a TUI for Kargo using Bubble Tea from @charmcli that ditches its entire laggy frontend at this scale.

🐘🐘🐘 Excited to share a project I’ve been moonlighting on for the past 3 months: an open-source Postgres schema migration CLI.

After researching all the existing Postgres schema migration tools, I wasn’t satisfied with the available options. So I set out to build the tool I wish existed — with a few key principles:

- Postgres-only: built specifically for Postgres.
- Declarative, Terraform-like workflow: with a human-readable plan instead of opaque diffs.
- Schema-level migrations: making multi-tenant schema operations much easier.
- No shadow database required: validate and plan migrations without the extra infrastructure.

Building a tool like this used to require a huge engineering effort (especially #4). But after experimenting with Claude Sonnet 4, I realized I could accelerate the process enough to tackle it in my spare time. Even so, it still turned into a 50K+ LOC project with 750+ commits and two major refactors along the way.

Now it’s at a stage where I’m ready to share it with the broader community.
