TIL about wouter, a minimal router for @react.dev & @preactjs.com.

When I'm back from SF I'll make a @nuqs.dev adapter for it, the API looks simple enough to work with.

LinkedIn's email redesign for notifications is quite something..

Notification from LinkedIn, images are huge and reminding of the 90's web, good old times.

Rehearsing my talk on @nuqs.dev and I’m finding so many little edge cases and quirks, things that I had a hard time reproducing, little optimisations etc.

Dogfood FTW, I guess 😅

François Best @francoisbest.com · 3d

Different versions of the library being loaded in the module graph?

What train is this on?

Also one of my fav, but I have to admit I prefer the Phil Collins cover 🙈

François Best @francoisbest.com · 4d

Yes I think that’s what I would expect too.

François Best @francoisbest.com · 4d

Thanks, yeah what I want to see is how nuqs behaves _inside_ an activity as it cycles between visible/hidden states.

Could also be relevant for @tkdodo.eu’s writeDefaults proposal 👀

Do you have a link to that demo? I want to add tests for Activity in nuqs.

alias gpfl="git push --force-with-lease" when raging against the machine, but being mindful of others' work.

I think of it the opposite way: you have to be good at reading notes while talking about a subject, which I can't do, whereas I feel more confident rehearsing a "speech" and delivering it without too much deviation.

I find if I don't have this controlled part, I stumble and digress easily.

I don't use speaker notes, but I was thinking you could use @raycast.com to have a shortkey that switches between mirror & extended modes as it transitions between slides & code+browser.

Could be messy with screen resolutions though.

I have been looking up to the @pmnd.rs collective for a while, the quality of the software they produce is inspiring.

Honoured to see them using @nuqs.dev 🫶

1/ 🚨 We just found a massive abuse of the npm ecosystem:

• Targeting 135+ orgs worldwide 🤯
• 175 malicious npm packages (26k+ downloads)
• 630+ HTML lures
• Weaponized unpkg as free CDN hosting for credential-phishing attacks

That worked, thanks! 🙌

Well ngl, LLM hallucination-driven API design can sometimes give some nice ideas.

But this is just comical.

Very bad React code generated by an LLM that has no idea how useEffect works.
