Huge MacOS 26 upgrade: you can force hide menu bar apps now 🧘

💡 Annoyed when your iPhone sends an HEIC file? Macs have a built-in conversion tool called sips: sips -s format jpeg input.heic --out output.jpg No need to install image magick even

Come on Claude this is getting ridiculous...

Dang, svgl is a clutch little website. Logos for every tech project, with super fast local search

🤯 What, Chrome has an AI summarizer API built in now?? - No API keys, no internet. Runs locally - Downloads the model on-demand - Available as a global in the latest version of Chrome. Works in chrome extensions too I have so many chrome extension ideas now...

Geez, I'm using voice for everything now. Searches, Slack conversations, even this tweet. Prevents typos and gets ideas down So many tools for this; VoiceInk is what I use. It's open source + compilable from source, runs on device, no subscriptions

Dang, Golang is so great for building servers. - Built-in `io` package - `ReadAll` that can handle files and HTTP responses in the same way - `defer` to colocate cleanup code with your app code ...I might be becoming a gopher 🐹

Love the way Dia does changelogs every week. They champion the small things: This is just about perf improvements, last few weeks were tab groups. And they include quotes from engineers who built it and graphics to teach you features. Feels like I'm a part of something

Y'all need to use VoiceInk for voice dictation. It's fast, 100% local, open source, compilable from the GitHub repo, and no subscription fee. Replaced Wisprflow with it and it's just as fast and accurate. 🔊 Sound on!

Well everyone, I'm very excited to announce... I'm joining the Warp team full time!

Tired of `--set-upstream` copy-paste of shame every time you push a new branch? There's a git setting for that: git config --global push.autoSetupRemote true

💡 Reminder to add this git setting to your bash rc file: git config --global branch.sort -committerdate `git branch -l` lists alphabetically by default, so it's hard to find recent branches. This sorts by date instead!

I never use planning mode in Codex. GPT 5.5 loves to research, so I just have a conversation and reach a pseudo-plan in chat. Then, I let it implement, maybe with a /fork beforehand to keep that plan as a revisit-able point. Probably the biggest switch coming from Claude Code

I was getting really annoyed with TipTap + Prosemirror, so I decided to give Slate a try. ...Man, where has this library been my whole life 🥹 This bulleted list demo took me weeks to get half-working in TipTap. In slate, it took a couple hours (with Codex's help)

He's not exaggerating by the way. We set up shareable SSH sessions so anyone on a team can join an agent while it works. There's even multi-cursor to see what someone is typing in the prompt box 🤯

Idk why people keep binding keyboard shortcuts just to open Mac apps. You know you can just... rename the app right? 💡

LLMs have finally stopped recommending React. Nature is healing 🧡

🔥 NEW DATABASE JUST DROPPED 🔥 It's this thing called a "file system" apparently. Cross-platform, local first, zero dependencies. Idk if it'll scale though

The Obsidian CLI is cool, but have you heard of the `ob` CLI? 🤔 It's a "headless" version that just handles syncing, which makes it perfect for automations. Used it to have an agent fill in missing tags/categories on my notes every evening. So useful!

I made a state management library for React. It's called simple store. Goal: make Zustand way simpler ⭐ - Stores are like atom() in Jotai, so types are inferred - You can select nested values, and use *them* as stores too To understand that last point, watch to the end! 👀

Everyone: GitHub Desktop is better! No, VS Code! Me: ...I just use `git add -p`. Walks you through each change, hunk for hunk, and lets you accept with `y`. It’s like a mini code review before you commit. Pair that with dandavison/delta, and you get syntax highlighting too 👀

Some React devs assume you need to npm install a library to get tooltips. Not true! For icon buttons, use a combo of the `title` attribute and screenreader text with Tailwind CSS' sr-only class. Gives you a native tooltip for the label while improving a11y

A lot of developers are using agents to write their code these days. I was a hold-out... but Claude Opus 4.5 finally cracked me. So, I made a video walking through how I write code with agents end-to-end. We'll talk plans, rules, and everything else in my setup!

Stop using "npm run" 😤

Every React app needs this CSS property 👀

Stop using Postman to test your APIs 😤 Warp is all you need

⭐ overscroll-behavior: contain is the key to native-feeling scroll views

Tailwind v4 killed the config file 😳 Now, it's just CSS variables. Here's why that's awesome

Crazy thought: What if Astro took over views/ for any framework? Got an early Ruby on Rails prototype running. Query in a controller, return props, use them in your component. Like the network isn’t even there 🪄

💡 Getting a lot of mileage out of this global rule in Claude: &gt; Break up complex plans into multi-step phases with numbered headings for each phase. We do this to avoid having to implement all features at once. This lets me work through tasks in chunks or break off new convos

Svelte solved React's async/await problem. Time to switch? 👀

🔥 The MacOS Stickies app is so underrated. - Little floating windows to take notes throughout the day - Can pin/float on top of whatever you're doing - Can color-coat to organize thoughts ...Probably hasn't been changed since the 90s, but you can't knock stable software
