i built an entire x86 CPU emulator in CSS (no javascript)

you can write programs in C, compile them to x86 machine code with GCC, and run them inside CSS

appkit engineers please never let NSWindowShouldDragOnGesture die

[NEW COMIC]

mac devs be like "i made an app that makes your video files smaller without any quality loss"

and then its just a $20/mo ffmpeg wrapper with a promo video like this

truth supernova LMFAO

thabnbk you for the kind word jables :)

new feature on notnite.com just dropped: inspect element but for 88x31s

yes!

i am also in the middle of embedding Ghostty into it but it keeps on dereferencing null somewhere in the keyboard layout translation code and i wanted to do fun things instead

i'm also going to do elastic tabstops too nick-gravgaard.com/elastic-tabs...

although i also want virtual whitespace (disconnects not just the indentation width but literally all indentation everywhere) so i need some way to unify all of these things lol

funnily enough i was literally going to do this

(disconnect the visual width of indentation from the in-file representation; so you can set your width to anything, even pixel values, no matter what the actual file is using)

i'm still writing my text editor (really slowly)

today i got tree-sitter queries working and did a lot of boring API design for variable line height support, but now i can make `null` appear in 64pt Zapfino complete with a disgusting shadow

i miss rust

does anyone particularly knowledgeable in V8 know if IIFEs are bad/deopts when using them in like function bodies

WHAT RHE FUCKK😭😭😭😭😭😭

please blame my friend for having that avatar i promise

don't see why not!
hell, i'll even let users write their own integrations and provide an SDK
another thing to add to my overflowing TODO list

i'm going to make a good React Native app god dammit

so instead there is a negative z-indexed, absolutely positioned box under it that constantly tracks the size and position of the swooper, with the shadow bitmap effectively baked in. so it's drawn once and the device just has to move it around during composition

there is a shadow under the "swooper" (i am calling it this)

similarly, if you simply mark it as having a shadow, the device will perform an offscreen pass every frame during the animation to recompute the shadow, which is enough to make my iphone 16 pro cry

some perf considerations… the artwork in the floating "swooper" there is marked to never downscale, and does a 2D transformation as it animates instead of naïvely adjusting width and height. otherwise, the device will resample the image on every frame during the animation

also heavily optimizing for perf, so i went on eBay and bought the cheapest android i could find for $35, which will be my primary (?) testing device

& with other goodies like EQ bands, varispeed/pitch adjustment, listening parties/listen together/remote control, pulling lyrics from Genius, social features, maybe even a reverb slider?

it will be "local first", streaming services will also be supported, but it will abstract over them all much like the way apple music does, so it doesn't really matter "where" a track comes from. everything is searchable + downloadable + indexed, heavily cached

i am working on a music app with delightful springs

jj is really one of those things that rewires your brain when it clicks. your life path getting locked in when you realize you never have to run git-stash(1) ever again

it's rlly fun! the amount of vendor lockin bullshit is also unimaginable
