I'm happy to announce I'm officially joining cap.so as Founding Engineer!
After helping with the new recorder + editor for a while, I'm excited to be a part of building the open source screen recording suite our users have been asking for.
i updated the @cap.so docker image a few days ago on @github.com and... i think someone's been downloading it in a loop?
the download count has been increasing by like 2/second for the past few days 😅

multiplayer @macrograph.app was a mistake

asked @zed.dev agent to make a bunch of small changes to @cap.so desktop to make it compile

went and brushed my teeth

came back and the app was open with no more rust errors

very nice

It was fun while it lasted, but I'm stopping maintenance of Prisma Client Rust.

It's been a long time coming, but I'm officially stopping maintenance of Prisma Client Rust. I'm doing this for a couple of reasons: I built PCR to use in Spacedrive, but my current work doesn't ev...

i got tired of clicking 'run workflow' on github

if you haven't been following the work on @solidjs.com 2.0:

- createAsync throws instead of returning undefined 🎉
- Resetting an ErrorBoundary refetches errored createAsyncs
- Suspense only shows its fallback once. On re-suspend it shows stale data (no Transition!)
+ much more

i'm very excited 😄

been working on my own version of the 'fail' crate for @cap.so that allows fail points to be toggled in real-time.
all declared 'fail' (panic) and 'fail_err' (Err return) points are collected by the 'inventory' crate, and a global map that our debug window can modify toggles them on and off.

reminder for future me: don’t use your app’s debug build to assess performance.
prod build can be way faster even if you don’t expect it.
@cap.so’s editor is super smooth in prod, but i always worry it’s not fast enough since i use the dev build 😂

i don't play @osu.ppy.sh but i always love watching their devlogs. they're a small team building an open source game, and they're so connected to their community. it's inspiring tbh.

recently discovered @zed.dev's workspace symbols search (⌘T) and it's my new favourite thing.
no more remembering what file a type/function is in - just search for the symbol let the LSP do the work 😄

@cap.so is on bsky now 😄
