Ever heard of ThumbHash? It's a great way to encode a blurry placeholder image into just a few bytes, 28 here. Like BlurHash but better visual quality!
Available now in responsive-image.dev for @vite.dev or webpack plugins and image components for @emberjs.com @lit.dev @solidjs.com and @svelte.dev!

Long thread, but it's Sunday, so give this a read!
How evolution of the framework works, why it's getting descoped and why it's not dead.
How evolution of the framework works, why it's getting descoped and why it's not dead.
Ember's major version release strategy is super-simple:
1. Before removing a feature in a major version, it lands as a deprecation in the *previous* major. A deprecation is only enabled by default once we have a clearly documented migration strategy that covers the use-cases of the old feature.

Just published a quick writeup of impl work I've been doing lately for Polaris.
TL;DR
- Top-level `renderComponent` API
- Runtime template compiler (for REPLs)
- Component inspector fixes for GJS
- `this.#private` syntax
- hash and array literal syntax

Polaris: What I'm Working On
I've been spending my time doing a lot of long-overdue work on Ember, Glimmer and the Handlebars parser. I figured I'd post a quick list of the work.
