This is exactly what I was taking about in my other tweet.
Honestly insane how many of these tier 1 backed VC companies have the same story:. -cofounders from some prestige background sell VCs on some pie-in-the-sky concept that no one wants.-raise $100m+ .-hire random roles like a chief AI officer for a non-AI startup.-have 0 users.

@ryanflorence @mjackson It could have been great. Faster iterating on hooks to find a more ergonomic model could have worked, and focusing on using this language to solve the hard parts of UI like animations would have been :chef-kiss:. instead it's all RSC. interesting but only applicable to a smaller.

yes I'm interested in Remix 3, only because @ryanflorence and @mjackson are part of a few people I'd trust to build something new. I hope it's not too Shopify-influenced though. I need to try vue & svelte again though, it's been a while.

How we designed a color system with hand-picked, vibrant colors that also met standards for accessibility and contrast.

I really really want to like @splinetool. what's up with it's shadow system though? it's buggy as heck. you can't use a displace modifier and have the shadow respect it?

the fact that this is still #1 makes me feel so good. nobody talks about emacs but we're all out here. my editing experience is better than yours.

CRUD is dead for the most part. Only specialized apps anything like that now.
personal software on steroids. i've been building some life management apps that all center around a long running Claude project that i add project context to and break off bits into small purpose built apps. for latest instead of CRUD ui i added mcp server (oauth) and it's 💪🏼.
