You know that initial 80% when you're coding something. That time you're feeling really productive and energised about code?

Well, AI is going to take care of that for us.

Leaving us with the final 20% of pain to sort out all the papercuts to make it production ready. Again and again.

Disappointed by the dominant negative reaction in the @vuejs.org reddit on @aaronfrancis.com 🤯 efforts to make this actually work.

Experimentation like this is great to see! If something's not for you, that's fine, let it be. (google: ricky gervais guitar lessons)

We are getting a bit too many PRs for @vueuse.org that I couldn't digest well. If you would like to help us move faster, you can go to the PR list, upvote with 👍, or help review so I can get them more priorities. If you find unsolved issues, PRs are also greatly welcome!

Also, I am looking for active maintainers to help me maintain VueUse. I'd be happy to provide some mentorships if you are interested in that.

Doing OSS would be a long process tho, and probably won't make you have financial benefits at the beginning - but could be an interesting experience.

@notion.com the svg in your context menu button is not an active area for clicking. This makes me sad.

Can you fix this so I can be happy again 🙏

Would having a label in bluesky for `meme`, allowing option for filtering them, be a good idea or terrible one?

Is it already a thing? ( @patak.dev ?)

(I'm not against memes and funny post, but there are times I'd like to switch them off)

I've been using AI to help me write code for a while now, but it never occured to me before _how_ it writes code quite so well.

This is a transcript of a conversation between Claude AI and myself, as I ask it to explain how it actually does what it does.

I am genuinely impressed by the effort Sarah put into this Figma Kit.

I haven't seen such a complete free UI on Figma before.

Additionally, it's a perfect 1-1 match with the UI components in development.

Next, a Figma plugin to export as Vue components? 👀

Component Gallery is well worth bookmarking for anyone who deals with naming things related to components, without going straight to "Card".

If web standards hasn't got a name already, digging into this may give you an answer.

Naming is hard.

How do Design System/Token focused communities feel about Tailwind CSS?

Any general consensus for or against? Kicks off heated debates? Don't care on implementation?

(I've got a solid feel for developer opinions, but have been going deep into design systems and tokens)
