Simple tools, fewer abstractions—inviting everyone to tinker & build. What’s worth building? For me: empathy and reworking our urban environments for humans.

The latest release of www.cross.stream is now using fjallv3. So many small, well thought out touches. It's really nice to work with!

optimize for understand-ability
📝 So much digital ink has been spilled on the idea of "easy vs. simple" but I liked this framing, so I wrote it down.

repo stream switching from sqlite to @fjallrs.bsky.social
the main speedup comes from switching sqlite for @fjallrs.bsky.social
- about 2x speedup w older fjall v2
- about 3x w the new fjall v3!!
(is this why it’s called v2 and v3??)
the other 0.75x was from a bunch of lil things together

Had Claude Code build a little plugin that visualizes the work Claude Code is doing as agents working in an office, with agents doing work and passing information to each other. New subagents are hired, they acquire skills, and they turn in completed work. Fun start.

When your entire app is just a single compact Go executable that needs zero external dependencies, not even a database, you can just parallelize the crap out of your Playwright end-to-end tests and run the entire suite in 11 seconds. ✨

i'm now thinking to embed cross. stream into http-nu _and_ embed http-nu in cross. stream.
the DX between the two arrangements will be different.

It's been incredible following marvin_j97 build out v3 of fjall through '25. An incredible piece of engineering
A strange moment, but - I just released 3.0.0.
fjall-rs.github.io/post/fjall-3/
What has started as a rewrite of the block format has become almost a full rewrite, interrupted by a bachelor's thesis, faulty hardware and a couple of weeks of sickness - but I think the end product is pretty good.

Alison's mum & dad were in town for holidays. with the extra help I got a chance to work a bunch on `http-nu`.
it's kinda rowdy, it now has, HTTP/2 support, this lispy, shouty-case HTML DSL, a pretty capable builtin router module .. and the one I'm most interested in,
a baked in Datastar SDK

Fizzy source code is amazing. All I expected from a Vanilla Rails app. Regular controllers, regular models. No fancy architecture. It uses import maps and vanilla CSS, so all we need to run it locally is Ruby. The app is very colorful and vibrant, view transitions make it feel so good. Hotwire FTW.
