@ianlandsman.com re note taking apps with AI, I think reflect notes could be a great fit. Beautiful app, super snappy and less bloat than Notion. AI impl is good too

WIP Building the inbox feature for plot.app .

The trickiest part is balancing the signal to noise ratio.

Trying to keep you informed of the events you care about but without the overwhelming firehose of pings screaming for attention. It's a hard challenge!

Building the command bar for plot.app 🔥

One major unlock for this was moving all global state to @davidkpiano.bsky.social ‘s xstate/store - can’t recommend it enough
My biggest goal with plot.app is for it to be the fastest and smoothest experience you can get for tracking your team's work.

Here's a demo of 60fps scrolling with 3000 (!!!) items in view, with instant transitions into your tasks details

I’ve been using plot.app to build plot.app and it’s been magical.

I’ve used it to plan the last leg of work before public release and quickly finding all the papercuts and fixing

I’m so pumped to finally get it out the door 💪💪

Anybody has had success with @turbo.build on @render.com and is open to a chat?

I’m getting runtime errors with environment variables and the solutions in the docs are not working (the —env-mode=loose is largely ignored…)

People who train in the mornings, how do you all do it ? Went this morning and now my brain is mush

I spent this week trying out @zed.dev and I have some thoughts

1. After setting up a bunch of MakeVSCodeAwesome key maps I felt right at home.

2. It’s surprisingly fast at boot up and search. Cursor struggles with my monorepo sometimes
Gave Zed another try, and I'm sorry, there's a myriad of tiny things that are off that just put me off.

- On-the-fly formatting is odd
- Magical cursor "disappearing" into parenthesis is confusing
- Automatic indentation is off most of the time
- Still no support for comment blocks /** */

After 3 months moving to local-first and a specially-hard month migrating getplot.app to a monorepo, it’s all finally coming together.

All to exterminate loading spinners from the experience. Now *all* navigations are instant.

No loading states or skeletons taking you out of flow 🔥
Plot – Less overwhelming project management

Scrollable containers are the final boss of ui development
it is 2024 and web developers are still battling with "overscrollback", the problem where browsers would clip your right/bottom padding on a scrollable container

I get the appeal of BaaS but I don’t think I could stomach the platform risk. Feels like building your castle in the sand.

Owning your backend is more pain upfront, but worth it for the literal bedrock of your business
There’s so many “backend as a service” frameworks that will solve all of your problems if only you can convince your company to rewrite everything using them

Which you won’t be able to do

Hard agree. Server-first is about convenience for the business - knowing that data is safely stored, having a single source of truth,
etc.

Local-first is about convenience for the user - making the data instantly available for best in class UX, regardless of what it takes to make it happen
Here’s the thing that local-first unlocked for me and that I really leaned into with jazz.tools:

When you build an app, you *don’t* want your abstractions to be servers, DBs, the network and requests.

You want them to be *the objects your app is about* and *the humans collaborating on them*
