A self-hosted, multi-user digital library with smart shelves, auto metadata, Kobo & KOReader sync, BookDrop imports, OPDS support, and a built-in reader for EPUB, PDF, and comics.

TL;DR: Dependency cooldowns are a free, easy, and incredibly effective way to mitigate the large majority of open source supply chain attacks. More individual projects should apply cooldowns (via tools like Dependabot and Renovate) to their dependencies, and packaging ecosystems should invest in first-class support for cooldowns directly in their package managers.

Measured take, love the public RFDs.

And the stuff that does go out? It’s going to look less and less like big bureaucratic holding companies and more like ragtag groups of brilliant minds. Strategists and creatives and makers who can be assembled for a project, who can move fast, who aren’t carrying the overhead of a Soho office and seventeen layers of account management.

Blog Quest is a web browser extension that helps you discover and subscribe to blogs. Blog Quest checks each page for auto-discoverable RSS and Atom feeds (using rel="alternate" links) and quietly collects them in the background. When you’re ready to explore the collected feeds, open the extension’s drop-down window.

Being non-profit clearly demonstrates our commitment to keeping Ghostty free and open source for everyone. It paves the way for a model for sustainable development beyond my personal involvement. And it also provides important legal protections and assurances to the people and communities that adopt and use Ghostty.

From a young age, being accused of “overcomplicating” or “overthinking” things felt like a dismissal of who I was.

Between reality and models.

Unblah is a little "meeting-buddy"-app that helps you...

* Keep track of how long you've been speaking, * Catch yourself before you talk too much, or too little * Develop a better sense of timing

Tokenscript is a dsl that interprets design tokens.

Delivery is about output. Tickets closed, features shipped, velocity charts trending up. It's visible, measurable, manageable. Execution is about system design: how your organization actually turns intent into outcomes. It's the invisible architecture that determines whether you're learning or just busy.

Helpful framing when working with feature factory places.

Once you embrace this mindset, your website’s core job becomes clear: to act as the single source of truth for both humans and AI. This is the foundation that gives you the freedom to express your brand fully, creating a memorable, immersive experience that can’t be replicated elsewhere.

Led by artists like DOMi and JD Beck, a generation of rising players is infusing jazz with absurdist online irreverence. But are they playing jazz at all?

False Tokens helps maintain design system consistency by instantly finding elements that aren't using design tokens.

Thanks James,

Ah, the memories.

Known as “CEM” to its friends, a CEM is a community standard JSON format that surfaces information about your component APIs. The analyzer scans your class-based component to build up a “manifest” of all the methods, events, slots, parts, tag name, and CSS variables you want to expose. It works on a single component or an entire system’s worth of components.

Why moving judgment to the edges wins in the long run

Systems thinking emerged in the mid-20th century as a corrective to reductionism. It gave managers a language for interconnections, feedback, and unintended consequences. That was progress, for its time. But now the theory is showing its age.

Before it became naff music for health spas, chillout was cool – and this London club night was key. As a new generation carry its spirit forward, the originators remember the beats and bedding

The best interfaces we never built aren’t just sleeker screens — they’re fundamentally different approaches to creating that unique space for thinking, communicating, creating, and experiencing that makes technology truly exciting. We’ve spent two decades consolidating everything into glass rectangles. Perhaps it’s time to build something different.

Thoughts on "our" culture in three pieces from Kyle Chayka, Kelefa Sanneh, and Joshua Rothman

The vast majority of people on earth are going to drown in a lukewarm bath of AI gruel, and there is probably no effective means of mass resistance on their behalf. The consequences will be very bad. But it also means we’re likely to return to the common pattern of cultural consumption from previous centuries, where sophisticates live in their own separate taste world that is not AI-dominated. I refuse to believe this is an “elitist” position when anyone with self-determination and curiosity is also free to join in this separate taste world, and its members should encourage others to do so.

In this episode, Stuart Brown and Ben discuss the critical importance of agency positioning, exploring common pitfalls, the benefits of specialisation, and the impact of AI on agency strategies. They emphasise the need for clarity in positioning to attract the right clients and improve profitability. The discussion also covers the challenges of repositioning and the journey agencies must undertake to achieve successful outcomes.

Here's why they technically can't, and why that makes sense to me.

A deep dive into local-first architecture, triggered by wondering why Linear feels so fast. Looking at the technical implementation, exploring tools like Jazz and Electric SQL, and explaining why my next app might not need API endpoints.

Digging deeper into the data, which comes from the Understanding America Study, we can see that people in their twenties and thirties in particular report feeling increasingly easily distracted and careless, less tenacious and less likely to make and deliver on commitments.
