Got into a conversation with a friend last night about implementing permissions in GraphQL/Grats.
Inspired me to write a guide for the Grats docs outlining three strategies that work well. One that I think is particularly elegant is Permission Tokens leveraging Grats' Derived Contexts.

I built Grats' Derived Contexts on a whim, but it ended up being a simple yet powerful compile-time dependency injection engine.
A field just defines its dependencies via typed arguments and Grats ensures it gets passed a value at runtime.

As an example: My personal blog (Next.js/RSC) also exposes a GraphQL server: jordaneldredge.com/api/graphql/
I just sprinkled some (68 according to grep) `@gql*` docblock tags around and got it for free by running `npx grats`.

It's been especially gratifying to see agents hit cases that I know are unintuitive and then instantly know how to resolve the issue, and get a clean build on their next attempt.

I designed Grats' around "error driven development": each error provides specific guidance on how to fix it.
This has proved a good fit for AI agents.
I asked Claude to find an interesting SQLite DB on my computer and build an API using Grats and it did without any help!

Webamp, the NPM library, now has a proper docs site. If you've ever wanted to add a Webamp player to your site, now might be the time:

Perfect. I can bind the “action” button on my phone to “buy a new phone”.

Been playing with a reusable client-side GraphQL wrapper around the @archive.org's public REST APIs. I feel like this could make it easier for folks to write interesting apps around this data.

VS Code's debugger is so good. Just ran my tests from the terminal, set a breakpoint in my JS Code and was able to step into the WASM code I'm debugging and inspect the memory with the hex editor plugin.
Impressive how well it "just works".
