Happy 2025!

If you like React, Three.js, or anecdotes from building a VS Code extension / IDE you might like this 100 post long thread about @triplex.dev 😁.

Make sure to comment on anything you’d like to hear more about!

Over December I’ll be posting 100 fun insights in this thread from working on @triplex.dev in my free time for two (!) years.

It’s the longest and largest side project I’ve worked on.

Keep an eye out, will be a fun one!
