Hey #Playdate devs! We need to fill some advent calendar spots. It could be a released game, a new release, or a beta to excite the community for 2026. If interested or know someone who is, comment below or contact Xania.

The thesis of this post is that React isn't innovating and other UI libraries are. But the real issue is that React's innovations are overshadowed by it's own success.

Also canceled & deleted audible, bought a local libary membership, installed libby and I'm enjoying the first audiobook:

The Book That Wouldn't Burn

It's the perfect fit, it's all about books, librarians and a fantastic library.

Thanks @danielgreene.bsky.social for the research and the highlight!
Installed Navidrome on my NAS & ultrasonic on the phone, canceled & deleted spotify!

With almost laughably low power, a monochrome screen, and unique controls, niche-micro console Playdate shouldn't make any sense in a world of modern gaming. Yet, it's near impossible not to love it. www.wired.com/story/three-...

I guess this is now roughly Day 4 of my #portfolio #programming challenge (could only work on it during commute).

The pinia docs has an add it says:
"Vibe code Vue apps with confidence" 🤦‍♂️

The thing is:
if you vibe then you don't have confidence and if you have confidence you don't need to vibe it!

I encourage you, take the time to read the docs and understand what you're doing!
