Stylex made me a css in js convert. The benefits you get from it are pretty hard to top
- componentized css
- better composition patterns
- encourages isolated styles (ie a component only styles itself)
- size of css caps our (it generates tailwind style utils)

CSS-in-JS promised simplicity but delivered performance issues. Learn why ditching it for native CSS solutions leads to faster, more maintainable web apps.

churned out a bunch more codemods 👀
we'll add tooling around these ultimately but you can programmatically use them today.

Just updated Threadskeeter to work again 🎉
Its a minimal bluesky client that tries to make consuming really long threads easier
- Shows the full depth
- Collapse threads
- Optionally mark seen posts
- Threads by the same author go down instead of in (make a big diff)
