I put Windows 95 into an Electron app that now runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It's a terrible idea that works shockingly well. I'm so sorry. Go grab it here:

Lastly, if you have an LLM app, we want it to be easy for you to add support for DXT files, too. We've open-sourced all the key code that we're using in Claude to run extensions:

For local MCP server developers, we can make it way easier for you to share your extensions with end users. Package up your MCP server as an extension and send it to us!.

For users, we'll handle the Node.js environment for you, let you install & configure local MCP servers without having to touch JSON files, and securely take care of your secrets. Also, we have an extensions store!.

Making Claude interact with apps on my computer is the most fun I've had in development in the last few years. Now open source and in Claude: Single-click installation of local MCP servers with a new packaging format called "desktop extensions".

I made a thing and brought back Clippy - combining my nostalgia for 1990s UI with the ability to run local LLMs. Download it at

If you're building an app, you should consider sandboxing it! @electronjs is making that pretty straightforward and since we've seen a buffer overflows in major components this month, I wrote up a little motivator:.

If you like @typescript, @nodejs, @electronjs, and building software people love, come join my team at @NotionHQ! We own our desktop apps, web infrastructure, and frontend foundations. We're based in SF and NYC. DMs are open! More details here:

@stripe Thanks to the many retweets, I'm having a bit of trouble replying to everyone, so please be patient. For now, here's the job posting: US-based, remote with the USA okay. We do hire across the globe:

We at @stripe are looking for a Staff Engineer to help us with our developer products (like the CLI tools, VSCode extension, or Stripe Shell) - a fun combo of developer advocacy and building good tools. DMs are open, hit me up if that sounds interesting to you!.

I really respect Sony for all the weird things they've tried with VAIO. Who's making weird computers today?

Google Calendar should have PowerPoint-style animations whenever a meeting gets canceled. I want them to explode or fold into an origami crane and fly away.

What an absolute milestone by the entire team. The only other C++ repository to hit 100k ⭐️ was Tensorflow. I'M SO PROUD OF EVERYONE.

RT @DigiEconomist: The power consumed per Bitcoin transaction on average could power an average US household for more than 1.5 months. The….

Franz Kafka is entering the public domain in 2022 and I hope someone makes a bunch of really weird video games.

So you’re the new spokesperson for a company that receives tons of valid criticism (tobacco, arms dealers, crypto). Now your timeline is filled with sadness. That ain’t “hate” - they expected you to be fighting a better fight. They’re heartbroken. How is that surprising?.

I have no meetings today. Not a single one. I can do some real work today. Maybe my calendar is broken.

😘 You have: Slack.🤡 You want: A forever backup of all your conversations and files. I wrote you a little tool that'll do just that:

Sounds silly, but displaying two channels at the same time was always a surprisingly difficult goal. Congrats to the team!.

Since we're all really mad about web apps these days, do yourself a favor and hit "." in any GitHub repo.

HackerNews is losing its mind because @1Password is moving to Electron. Making a product people love shouldn't and doesn't involve always taking the most ambitious implementation path. Time and time again, so many engineers fail to see the difference.
