Zero to 1.0 After two years of work, 50+ releases, thousands of commits, and hundreds of bugfixes, we are officially declaring Zero stable and ready for production workloads. zero.rocicorp.dev/docs/release...

Zero 1.0

First Stable Release

zero.rocicorp.dev

📣 NEW! I’ve just released the BIGGEST and perhaps most creative project I’ve ever worked on! “Searching for Birds” searchingforbirds.visualcinnamon.com 🐤 A project, an article, an exploration that dives into the data that connects humans with birds, by looking at how we search for birds.

At this point Partiful has replaced the Contacts app for friends’ addresses

Standalone chat isn’t a great form factor for serious work. Engineers wouldn’t be using GPT that much if only for chat.com, they use it because Cursor/etc integrated it where we already work. Those interfaces haven’t been built for most workflows yet, but that’s as much the interfaces as the models.

Three years into the generative-AI wave, demand for the technology seems surprisingly flimsy

Zillow has removed “climate risk scores” from its listings. On the one hand, the smoking gun is right in the article: It seems like the risk scores were too effective, actively dissuading people from buying properties with high flood risk. On the other hand… www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/c...

Apple has a private CSS property to add Liquid Glass effects to web content

@ped.ro Would love the ability to export all my notes from the iOS app as a backup (as Markdown files). Exporting right now is one-off, & each file has to be manually named 😔

My first professional modeling campaign: now blooming on baboontothemoon.com!

I’m presenting my thesis show I’ve been building all spring, American Toxics, today! Catch the livestream at 5:24pm ET (10:24pm London) for 10 minutes: itp.nyu.edu/shows/thesis...

I bought a @theverge.com sub the day they launched. I’ve been so impressed by their growing boldness in coverage, of the election/gov, climate/env, the Vietnam War at 50 today; all way wider-eyed stories than most publications, expanding tech far beyond consumer product specs. Grateful for them!!

The impact of @tailwindcss.com on getting design engineers to learn to spell the word “fuchsia” cannot be overstated

Not a lot of vindication in owning an Apple Vision Pro these days, but at least I can write off $4000 on my taxes 🥲

Made more things in the world lime green today 💚

WIP excerpt: Encouraging follow-up questions with an LLM, by highlighting less-known scientific concepts which generate automatic questions you can refine. Trying to make it easier to be curious!

Pressed the wrong button while slicing my 3D print but making an infinite number of one of my project’s parts seems more fun than the complete project??

I just called Governor Hochul, and you should too, it only takes a minute. Masking when you’re feeling sick to prevent spreading illness is common decency, and it’s a frightening restriction of our right to self expression to police clothing.

Jews for Mask Rights@jews4maskrights.bsky.social · last yr.

🚨 URGENT: Governor Hochul is pushing a last-minute mask ban into the budget. Everyone needs to call her today and tell her you oppose any criminalization of masks in New York. ☎️ Call: 518-474-8390 📠 Fax: 518-474-1513 #NoNYMaskBan (1/4)

Stopped by Shopify’s “shop local” NYC popup & realized everything on my body today went through Shopify: Rains & Baggu bags, Meller sunglasses, Phluid shirt, Outdoor Voices pants, Allbirds shoes, down to TomboyX underwear, socks. To shop outside big box & Amazon, they’re impressively inescapable

One of the few “AI” features I deeply want as a user: for museum websites to use semantic search on their images & metadata to allow for freeform exploration of their collections. Traditional search isn’t a good fit for art.

This weekend I co-ran the 10th annual ITP Stupid Hackathon! 50-something people gathered at @itp-ima-nyu.bsky.social to make a tamagotchi that forces you to vape, a table that criticizes & shakes everything off itself, fish locomotion, a Chrome extension for gravity, a working knitted breadboard…
