this file/diff UI is so much fun

file -> diff: just edit the before/after version
diff -> file: just apply it to any base

make a pkg with a bunch of files/diffs

if you ship a file, users get the file
if you ship a diff, users can apply it themselves

Love the colors, feels super inviting

Could bump the minimum height of the terminal to make the Copy button sit nice and remove some left padding on the output on mobile

you can't see this hard luminosity peak right here at pure cyan??

I hate every time this goes around because it’s so obviously three colors here?

What if you hue shift it to green and red? You gonna try to argue yellow is one of those?

I just accidentally pushed to main (it was a PR I was gonna self-merge anyway) but nothing stopped me??

is there something beyond this I need to set up for branch protection?

a year later I had realized my mistake and switched to the tiniest possible labels
November 19, 2024 at 3:15 PM
can't stop laughing at these gigantic labels

but oh right that's when my placeholder text opposition started

I had three companies using it and they all did the 1 user plan with a single account

biggest asset database was MASSIVE and also only like 100MB

why did I think that was a good thing to segment on

looking through archives and just found a dev screenshot of my first "startup", which was an asset management system for a company I used to weld for

my aesthetic choices were… interesting

twitter is really inconsistent on this front, if the quotee blocks the quoter then sometimes other people can't see the post but it still shows up in the list of quotes

This is the craziest hook I’ve ever seen

const [ref1, ref2, ref3] = useMultipleRefs()

The hook returns an iterator
- destructuring calls the iterator
- on each iteration, the hook returns a useRef()
