Fresh talk incoming from my teammate @CipolleschiR on Friday! Huge amount of work bringing in Swift Package Manager. As maintainers, we're certainly looking forward to one less native build system! 🙏🏻

Finally! After years of searching for the best way to build the fastest mac markdown editor, I found it: React Native. 30 MB app, opens a 10 MB file in 20 ms, while most other apps freeze or crash. And no webviews. What do you want in a Markdown editor besides being fast AF?

Could I be the first person to fly over the North Pole to get to App.js Conf?

Guess Claude can’t triforce

Kotlin and Swift are not even SDKs

I've never heard of a company valuing "number of PRs reviewed" as an employee performance metric. On the other hand, "number of features shipped"…

Deno 2.8 is released! - 6 new subcommands - defaulting to "npm:" - Node.js api compat: 42% → 74% - import defer - 3.6× faster cold npm installs - Network debugging in Chrome DevTools - TypeScript 6 - catalog: support - Cross-platform npm installs - deno install --prod

This makes the Apple Clock app look like a thing of the Stone Age

Finally, the press release for our app. Keep an eye on it! prtimes.jp/main/html/rd/p/00…

You may ask why we didn't go with React Native Desktop for the desktop apps on this project. I'll explain the tradeoffs behind our decision in my talk next week at App.js Conf and how I wouldn't necessarily rule it out for a new app today.

A bit more info on that IPC API, demonstrating how to use ipcMain (on the React Native side) and ipcRenderer (on the web app side):

The IPC layer has evolved while we figure things out, but if I were to set it up from scratch again, I'd use my new (WIP) dubloon-electron-shim library which implements Electron's ipcMain and ipcRenderer APIs for React Native: github.com/shirakaba/rnd-fid…

The tech stack for this one is: - iOS and Android: A React DOM + Vite web app embedded into a WebView in a React Native app. - macOS and Windows: An Electron app that runs the same web app. It uses my Expo Config Plugin for webview embedding: github.com/shirakaba/dubloon

I can now share one of the Expo apps I've been working on for the last 7 months. It's a B2B app to transcribe interviews for the insurance industry in Japan. Our previous app (ノーマン) was rolled out in over 10,000 offices across Japan, so hoping this one will go just as well!

- My Bugzilla: bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi… - PR 1 (stop `position: fixed` elements in RTL contexts losing their contents when the document is scrolled…): github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pul… - PR 2 (… and stop gestures passing through them): github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pul…

Apple just fixed the regression in WebKit that had blocked development on my Japanese ebook reader iOS app for the last year 🥹 Curious to learn that a UIKit/AppKit autoresizing mask was involved. So this bug went beyond the DOM. Let's goooo 🚀🚀

These fucking bots

This is why PR diff speed matters. This isn't a dunk on GitHub specifically, because GitLab, Forgejo, etc. are all equal or worse. But this is the kind of thing that drives me nuts, because this is a core workflow and its slow enough I literally take my hands off the keyboard. Btw, when my mouse jiggles on the left, its because the page is literally skipping frames and I'm instinctively shaking my mouse to see if it'll respond. And on the keyboard input you can literally here me finish typing before a letter even shows up. For someone like me who is an expert at these tools, my brain navigates the tool dramatically faster than it can keep up, and that is not good. The tool should not get in the way.

Memory usage in Safari: - on page load: 892 MB - after scrolling the entire document: 1,470 MB That may be justified, though? Depends whether it's an actual leak or just the cost of keeping things in cache so that you can scroll back and forth. CC @pierrecomputer

I tried out DiffsHub on Safari. No idea how Twitter is gonna compress this .mov, so here goes nothing. It's pretty dang good. Some noticeable stuttering when there's both additions and deletions side-by-side. Still absolutely wipes the floor with GitHub, of course. Bravo! 👏
