Awesome, the last Browsertech Digest inspired a new Buttondown × Transistor integration. When I do audio versions of digest posts, you'll be able to listen to them inline on the web version.

I think I’m being blackmailed.

turns out even if you don't use the multi-player stuff, building an app using CRDTs gets you a lot of local-first benefits: offline mode, backups and sync, privacy by default, snappy UI...

TIL about the insanity of trying to do websockets on aws

damn, you people live like this?

Thanks to technology, you can hear me read “Cloudflare's Durable Multiplayer Moat” without leaving twitter!

Cool!

Devs will A/B test the hex color of a CTA button, but they won’t quantify the bounce rate cost of showing a cookie banner.

One thing that's stuck out to me about the conversations I've had for the Browsertech Digest is that almost every app pushing the limits of the browser has Rust somewhere in the stack.

Modern JS is fast, but correctness, ergonomics, and memory control of Rust are often cited.

Starting to feel like the repetition of the Solomon Hykes / Wasm quote has actually had a constraining effect on Wasm's future. It's really cool and powerful that Wasm can emulate a container, but it shouldn't become a container.

PS if you use Postgres, get a TablePlus license, you won’t regret it.

A lot of you have probably seen the infamous “Dropbox is just rsync” HN comment, but this yawn at Alameda’s insolvency always cracks me up as a caricature of bad HN prophesy.

That sound you hear?

It's dozens of Google Calendar Reminders being created by VCs for 25 years from now to cold outreach SBF asking him 'what he's working on next'

Crossing this street (Broome) every day on my commute for years radicalized me for congestion tax.

Imagine trying to do this with a stroller, walker, wheelchair, cane, etc.

It’s so nuts to me that people used to get in giant wood boats and shoot metal bowling balls at other giant wood boats to sink them for a job. Really puts writing yaml files in perspective.
