Whenever I’m facing issues with vscode and prettier talking seconds or copy pasting taking too long, Zed is my go to. Very reliable and smooth
Just moved to @zed.dev as my go-to text editor. Blazing fast with minimum latency (of any sort), so extremely feature rich, immensely beautiful, and clearly an IDE made by people who know what developers want and need. I absolutely love it; highly recommended!

Where’s all the hype of bsky about openai’s image generation? It’s really really good and not a peep!

A step in the right direction. Unfortunate that Vite is painted as “not for beginners”. Also, the ordering of frameworks matters and this makes Next.js effectively the default for anyone learning React.
Today, we’re deprecating Create React App for new apps, and encouraging existing apps to migrate to a framework.

We’re also providing docs for when a framework isn’t a good fit for your project, or you prefer to start by building a framework.

Someone asked me a while ago how I host my Vite React app on Cloudflare Workers & static assets. So I wrote a guide on my blog about how to do just that (and Angular and Vue for good measure!)

We finished rolling out edge caching for Hyperdrive earlier this month - cached queries are now up to 10x faster.

This is reflected in an average 50% decrease in session duration for *all queries*! ⚡️

just landed it in the new Cloudflare changelog: developers.cloudflare.com/changelog-ne...

We made it a lot easier to connect to private databases from Cloudflare Hyperdrive using Tunnels, so you can build full stack apps on Workers with your existing databases!

Demo doesn’t fit in 60 seconds, but it does fit in 2 minutes! x.com/thomasgauvin...

We just raised the Workers KV namespace limits for all Cloudflare accounts, from 200 to 1000

Folks had been running into those limits, especially teams building multi-tenant applications who split KV data by tenant. That’s now a thing of the past!

I redesigned my simple web latency tester to make it look freaking cool w/ @protomaps.com x @maplibre.org globe view

because why not? Developers deserve cool tools

Try it out! (I bumped the included limits to 500 & you can select which regions to test from)

Good news! Starting from the next wrangler release, you can connect to mongodb and MySQL directly from your Cloudflare workers!

@protomaps.com x @maplibre.org is open-source at its best

globe view just dropped

Been playing with the DeepSeek R1 models all day, especially the distilled ones. Had to ask it the one question that always requires peculiar thinking. This one's for you @robsutter.dev

The "thinking" is the interesting part:

Wanted to write about all the different ways you can cache stuff when building apps on Cloudflare. Did I miss any?

The new developments in LLM models is super exciting.

Open-source models, from Llama to DeepSeek are pushing the envelope and making it better/faster/cheaper for developers to build their apps
DeepSeek, a LLM trained for a fraction of the cost of GPT-Xx models, in 2 months for 6 million, on limited GPUs due to export restrictions, and competing head to head. This is crazy.

It's not the AI part I'm excited about, it's the level of efficiency. github.com/deepseek-ai/...
