I'm doing a game that last 20 seconds, as part of a game jam #20SecondGameJam
I'm ecstatic, it'll be super fun. If anyone wants to join me and help in any shape or form, hit me up! Even if you've never touched game dev before.

Always love seeing Rich's talks.
The callback to the Rethinking Reactivity talk at the 13 minute mark also took a big laugh out of me.

Best part about owning my music: not having to deal with the clusterfuck of an UI that is Spotify.
It is simultaenously baffling and not surprising at all that apps that are used by billions of people are the absolute worst.

@heyandras.dev is the 🐐.
Saving me from paying 40 USD at Vercel, which can now be redirected to sponsoring OSS :)
Melt UI (both sites), my personal website, thom.chat, and a bunch of other projects are now running on coolify in my VPS.
Feels goooood.

Built an nvim plugin to alternate between SvelteKit files.
- Alternate between +page.svelte, +page.ts, +page.server.ts
- Alternate between +layout.svelte, +layout.ts, +layout.server.ts
With one hot key (I use comma + period)

🍨 Working on a Spatial Menu component. It allows navigating through items in a list/grid with the keyboard. But, its fully responsive, meaning you don't need to define a number of columns before-hand!
Available to test now.
