Hello, friends! After 10(!) years of #AdventOfCode, I've made some changes to preserve my sanity: there will be 12 days of puzzles each December (still starting Dec 1) and there is no longer a global leaderboard. Read more:

Is there a specific reason @vite.dev doesn’t offer a runtime for a Node.js server?
Feels like there’s so much opportunity to improve server build tooling. Surely lots of this must exist already from @vitest.dev and vite handling SSR?

Want an easy way to stay up to date with new releases of libraries, frameworks and tools you use #buildinpublic?
Easiest way I've found:
Go to the relevant Github repo, click on Watch -> Custom -> Releases, and you'll get notified by email every time a new release is made 👌

Say you're working on a UI design from Figma that's using hex codes for colours:
If you stumble across a new colour to add to the UI e.g. #EAF2FC, does a tool exist to automatically determine the relative value of the new colour to your existing colour set? Ideally would return blue-100 here

*Disclaimer, my work required me to use a different Github account so these are all purely open source commits.
Feels great to be getting back to side projects and super motivated to make 2025 the year they go live.
Happy New Year everyone 🎉

The Next team are ridiculously good at this. We need more people in the react-router/Remix ecosystem to follow suit
I built a clone of the Yeezy store: nextzy.vercel.app
Built with @nextjs.org, @v0.dev, and @motion.dev.
Code is open source!

Ignoring all the controversy with Kanye for a moment, the UX of yeezy.com is extremely good.
I'm a huge fan of futuristic minimalism as a design philosophy (anything Black Mirror inspired floats my boat).
Cooking up something of my own for my portfolio website soon ⏳

Jumping onboard the Ghostty hype but I'm loving it so far 👻
⚡️It's super fast, works with existing zsh configurations, great built in themes too. It's my go to Terminal now.
Seriously tempted to learn Zig following Ghostty's and Bun's track record for speed

Inching closer to getting KeepFresh live (the app I'm building for fighting food waste).
Keeping to a strict MVP is a challenge but motivated to share a TestFlight link in early January.
Back to designing the last screens and then hooking up the API 🚀

I love Array.reduce, but I find myself writing less of them as the browser primitives get better.
Map + Object groupBy is one place you can now get rid of reduce for

This might be my most satisfying Github Actions set up yet.
Context: Large monorepo of projects that each have their own tests (no shared code). Only run tests for projects that have code changes in the most recent commit(s).
Git diff + bash magic generates a matrix of projects to be tested, < 9s

TIL I've been sleeping on folders in Mail for over a decade 🤯
Today is the first time I've seen my inbox at 0 since the day I setup my email account. Feels great to have things organised.
Now to create an LLM that can do all future organising for me 🧠
