Revived my father's restaurant/hotel's website with astro, using cursor. Hooked lingui to it to translate to 3 languages, then added automatic OG image preview generation. Was more fun than I expected! Will share how I did it in my blog soon, but until then, take a look: theresahotelcyprus.com

Asked Opus 4.5 to make a marketing video for my OSS project, [@]firtoz/router-toolkit. It wrote the script, generated voiceover + word-level timing (@elevenlabs.io), created the logo (Nano Banana), built animated scenes with Remotion. All in one chat session. What do you think?

Wow it was much more effort than necessary to be able to do offline capable local first web app development, but I'm happy to say that I found a way - see thread:

Managed to get the same @drizzle.team schema work for both Durable Objects and sqlite for web workers persisting through OPFS, for #lofi . Very excited about it! Did anyone do something like this before? Would love to get some inspiration etc.

Took me surprisingly little amount of effort to migrate from a centralized postgres db to Durable Object sqlite 🤔 I think most credits go to @drizzle.team for this. Next: LOFI through pglite + indexedDB?

“Creating RAG from scratch”, a *must see* talk for every dev by @philna.sh. In one hour you’ll get what took me weeks to piece meal together last year. I consider this (embeddings, RAG, vector searches) really foundational knowledge now for any dev to have in their tool belt.

Looking for the best mobile app or game that allows intuitive 3D object manipulation (moving, scaling, placing) in a touchscreen environment. Any recommendations for a smooth, user-friendly experience? #3D #UX #Mobile #Design

hey new followers! 🍃 we’re Gardens, a video game studio from developers of Journey, Blaseball, Dustforce, Guild Wars 2, Firewatch & more. our upcoming game is a shared fantasy adventure through shapeshifting wilds inspired by our favorite memories crossing paths with strangers in online games.

If TikTok does get blocked in the US, millions will try to skirt the ban by using VPNs that route their data through another country. But many VPNs are hella shady! Here's @shiraovide.bsky.social with four VPNs you can probably, hopefully, quite possibly trust: www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

If you use a VPN for a TikTok ban, make sure it’s one you can trust

It’s almost impossible to figure out which VPNs are creepy or snake oil. You can trust these four options.

I'm experimenting with some react three fiber with #threejs webGPU. We don't have an EffectComposer to use post-processing effects in #r3f with WebGPU API. Now, everything is done by composing TSL nodes. I created a small component that helps in rendering post-processing effects...

Artists! Please pin a post with your work, any work! The stuff you’re proud of, stuff you think best represents what you do, anything! I visit accounts sometimes and scroll and scroll through reposts and while those are cool too… I want to see you shine, I want to see your stuff first. 🌈💕

What does it mean for something to be Turing complete? I answer this question, and more, through a series of fully interactive Turing machine simulations! Play, pause, step forwards and backwards, and even write your own Turing machine programs in my latest blog post. samwho.dev/turing-machi...
