Truth be told the need for hyperfocused, does one thing best sites like Ping(ping.tinytown.studio) have no life. I'm glad and happy that I hace users but I'll also have to add in a little more to it to make it worth the maintenance costs.

open to ideas of things people want to see.

Guess I'm going to be cheaper to hire since a LLM subscription isn't mandatory for me to get things done.

I just lowered the monthly price for the Zustand banner sponsorship 🐻

If your team uses Zustand, this is a simple way to support maintenance and get a small, tasteful logo spot.

I'm looking for my next opportunity in the front-end space 🌐

I've worked at some great companies: Hugging Face, V7, Appwrite, and Significa.

I've built NPM packages with 400k downloads/week, and am an avid open-source contributor.

Let me know if you want to work together!

reminiscing the time where success for what I built was having just 1 user and being okay with it if that user was me

both things would change the input config and also how the plugin processes the input, all can be done without needing an AST parse with string transforms but I like the reliability.

The dependents are mostly my own packages and a few of my own projects, so it should be fine

preact-island-plugins has a few quirks that might need a tiny breaking change if I plan to polish it.

Mostly the typescript part which I should've left on the user for the rollup plugin but also because I think I can remove the server + client coupling it currently has.

Here's a toy app using
@preactjs.com
+ signals and
@nitro.build
(to avoid the browser's CORS error)

It's an example on one of the ways you can use signals and how most of the App logic can be changed to just listening to values as compared to dealing with hooks 1/n

posthog.com and
stripe.dev, I like where this is going, old OS interfaces inside a browser.

Do i try something similar for reaper.is?

thanks, but really redundant

whole point was to have something for node and this kinda solves that

easier to have a dedicated team maintain than someone doing it on a whim

i will try a keychron low profile at some point, not sure when though

There's so few good low profile keyboards that it's honestly a gamble, I finally stuck to the Nuphy 75 and I guess i won't be switching to anything else for a while now, unless I find a way to get a good Choc Split keyboard in India
