Built with Astro, Tailwind and react-three-fiber, and it was a real joy to create.
fyi, we make 3D web apps. Got a project idea? Let's chat!

I almost feel bad for posting, as I don't say bad things about anyone..
But maybe, that's a compliment to how far this LLM technology has passed the Turing test.
To be fair, it wasn't a far fight. I've got 14 years xp, and this young whippersnapper is only 2.5 years old.

You should be using JavaScript sets more often
Now in all browsers and Node - these 7 new set methods are key for when trying to compare two arrays or sets of data.
Now in all browsers and Node - these 7 new set methods are key for when trying to compare two arrays or sets of data.
![New JavaScript Set Methods
const set1 = new Set(['wes', 'kait']);
const set2 = new Set(['wes', 'scott']);
Difference
Elements in set2 but not in set1
set2.difference(set1)
> ['scott']
Intersection
Elements that exist in both sets
set1.intersection(set2)
> ['wes']
Symmetric Difference
Elements in either set, but not both
set1.symmetricDifference(set2)
> ['kait', 'scott']
Union
All elements from both sets
set1.union(set2)
> ['wes', 'kait', 'scott']
Is Disjoint From
True if sets share no elements
set1.isDisjointFrom(set2)
> false
Is Subset Of
True if all elements are in other set
set1.isSubsetOf(set2)
> false
Is Superset Of
True if it contains all other's elements
set1.isSupersetOf(set2)
> false](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:etdjdgnly5tz5l5xdd4jq76d/bafkreifpciv7ufsmynaqjmiw63rmyybije242ep2ylqs3iarkehaz4qxzi@jpeg)

Some folks go all with animating interactions - e.g After Effects, Framer, Lottie, GSAP
Here's a reaction picker made with CSS transitions
✅ tiny download size
✅ browser optimised
✅ no 3rd party license
✅ no need to learn a new tool
