SILKSONGGGG

but also learning game dev, currently doing a breakout clone
Screenshot of a Breakout-style arcade game showing colorful brick rows (red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue, and purple) arranged at the top of the screen. A white paddle is positioned at the bottom, with a white ball visible on the left side. The score displays '160' and 'x6' multiplier. Some bricks show 'P' power-up indicators. The game interface has a dark purple background with 'BREAK' text repeated around the border.

🍨 Working on a Spatial Menu component. It allows navigating through items in a list/grid with the keyboard. But, its fully responsive, meaning you don't need to define a number of columns before-hand!

Available to test now.

Playdate is way cuter than it has any right to be
A playdate game console on top of a digital scale. It has a Pizza Cover. The pizza cover has text in it. It reads: Pizza; Delicious; Hot; Square. It features a man with a chefs hat doing an OK sign with his hands. There is a link to playdate.pizza. and a quote saying "you order em, we crank em out". The scale is showing 130g on its display

🍨 You can now fully control floating UI in Melt's elements!
A code snippet showing the instantiation and configuration of a Popover component in JavaScript. The code defines a `popover` constant as a new `Popover` object with properties such as `forceVisible` set to `true` and a `floatingConfig` object that includes an `onCompute` function to apply styles.

I really wonder if someday GitHub will have consistent up-to-date data
Me highlighting a link to an issue in GitHub. The link shows its still open, but the preview for the link shows it has been closed, which is a contradiction. Thanks GitHub!

🍨 Busy day today, we now also have 🔍 ToolTip in Melt, thanks to @autriz.bsky.social !

next.melt-ui.com/components/t...
Screenshot of a UI component labeled 'Tooltip'. The tooltip displays as a small popup with the text 'Let us cook!' appearing above a chef's hat icon. The popup is shown against a dark background. At the top of the image is a heading 'Tooltip' followed by descriptive text explaining that a tooltip is 'A popup that displays information related to an element when the element receives keyboard focus or the mouse hovers over it.' An 'Edit props' button appears at the bottom left of the demonstration area.

🍨 @bennymi.bsky.social has been hard at work cooking up Melt's new 🍞 Toaster component!

The internals are vastly more simple now, and a long-standing bug with 'pause-all' was fixed.

As always, its pretty easy to style and customize! For the preview, I went with something Sonner-like. Enjoy 🧑‍🍳

The new Claude Code tool is so elegant
This image shows a terminal interface for "Claude Code" in research preview mode. The terminal displays: Cost and duration statistics at the top: Total cost of $0.0000, API duration of 0.0s, and wall duration of 2.8s A command prompt showing "melt-ui-next-gen on feat/toaster [$]" with version information "v1.0.0 via v22.14.0 took 3s > claude" An orange-outlined welcome message stating "Welcome to Claude Code research preview!" Help information: "/help for help" Current working directory (cwd): "/home/thomasg/Documents/Programming/oss/melt-ui-next-gen" The interface is a terminal-based tool for interacting with Claude in a development environment.

🍨 Finally shipped the file upload to Melt!
A dark-themed file upload interface showing a drop zone with a cloud icon, 'Click to upload or drag and drop' text, and a 5MB size limit. Below are listed features including drag and drop support, multiple file support, file type validation, and file size limits. An empty text file is shown as uploaded.

Cool, aider deleted a comment of mine on GitHub because I was suggesting a similar tool to theirs that offers a feature they don't, and others have been asking for without reply.

So much for the spirit of OSS!

Btw the tool is called Goose. Much better experience.

The image shows a discussion about Aider, an AI tool. User TGlide points out that Aider only suggests files to add when there are none present, but doesn't continue making suggestions later. They propose adding a mode for automatic file management. User SethTurin responds that the --browser option already provides this functionality, but notes they switched to terminal version due to other limitations. The thread ends with Aider-AI deleting a comment from TGlide.

🍨 @bennymi.bsky.social has been a huge help with Melt! They've been porting some of the components over to Runes.

You'll see some new ones popping up soon, such as Progress.

🍨 Tree is shaping up nicely! Its almost done, and I believe the API is iron solid.

Again, kudos to @abdel-17.bsky.social for putting in tons of work into it!
