Lots of buzz about the ai bubble bursting these days. Deepseek R1 certainly bodes poorly for the likes of Nvidia and OpenAI. 1/x
Did you know it's possible to run CommonJS directly in the browser? No bundlers. It takes quite a few tricks to get it running. Blog post coming soon.
I love a good deep dive. This past week I've learned so so so much about Node.js internals, wasm, wasi, wasix, and quickjs. I feel like I'm on the verge of a breakthrough.
The new Cline version is making waves, so I decided to put it to the test against Easel. Spoiler: Easel completes the same task in half the time – and I’ve got the video to prove it. Check it out: youtu.be/qm5eep22Xjg #buildinpublic #llm

@npmjs.bsky.social seems to be having issues. `npm ci` is failing for me repeatedly. Consequently, I can't push my release to production. Anyone have any tips other than to just keep trying and crossing my fingers that it goes through this time? #buildinpublic
@npmjs.bsky.social acknowledges the issue. Worth noting that this has been going on *all day* #npm #buildinpublic bsky.app/profile/sean...

@crowdhailer.bsky.social just read your post on building a structural code editor. Looks very interesting. Have you considered any potential use cases of this kind of tool for accessibility and/or education yet?
Two big improvements for Easel today: 1. Adjusted our model so that code generation is faster and more reliable. 2. Implemented a changelog so that our users can stay updated on all the new features we'll be releasing over the next few weeks. #buildinpublic
Interesting that OpenAI is teasing o3 right now. The full o1 model was only released on December 5, around two weeks ago. Intrigued to see how it compares, especially on pricing.
A few of my users had some trouble with live previews today related to the recent React 19 release. I emailed them all individually to apologize and upgraded them to the Pro plan for free for the next month. Customer support goes a long way. With Easel, you get white glove service. #buildinpublic
Anyone try Solito for taking a preexisting Nextjs app and making it available for native iOS and Android?

We're trending up. I've found that social media drives sign-ups in a big way. Reddit especially, since it's so easy to find conversations that are extremely relevant to the product. Any tips for converting free to paid users? #buildinpublic #indiehackers
