A few people have asked, so I extracted the diagnostics code from my type checker into its own package: github.com/QuinnWilton/...

This could probably use some more battle-testing, but I tossed in some examples for using it with macros, a complex DSL, with nimble_parsec, and for validating yaml.

More @react.dev running in our headless browser rendering to SwiftUI. This is a true native app developed with server-driven UI web developer ergonomics.

This article does a good job articulating why I'm building a browser from scratch rather than take Chromium and pop the HTML render layer off.

Native app bloat is out of control.
Browsers are hugely bloated.

Thanks @sanders.senate.gov not for just having my back below, but the backs of all working class Americans. I was proud to co-chair your campaign in 2020. Your integrity is the reason you won CA-17 and California decisively!

Component Showcase with @react.dev rendering native SwiftUI in our headless browser from server-driven UI.

Yeah, it's a word salad but it all works and works well.

Cloudflare is ruining the Internet. It’s absurd how much of my life is wasted proving I’m not a bot because I use iCloud Private Relay. God forbid I want a modicum of privacy that isn’t routed through their own privileged VPN. I can’t believe we gave the whole web experience to Cloudflare & Google.

Here is our headless browser running @svelte.dev in native SwiftUI.

For those curious, Svelte.js is rendering actual native UI here, not a WebView.

I told Claude to one-shot an integration test against a detailed spec I provided. It went silet for about 30 minutes. I asked how it was going twice and it reassured me it was doing work. Then I asked why it was taking so long:
