2. AirDrop is my favorite social media app. No pressure to post, no likes or feeds, you just see which of your friends are using their phone near you.

4. It was fun (and a little bit stressful haha) to build the graphics for this! Check out the @observablehq notebook I used to make them and try your hand at making your own if you want :) observablehq.com/@j-f1/brown-class-of-2026-regular-decision-acceptance-graphics @the_herald/1509668616848904193

6. Also, for the five people who want to be able to await a JSX expression inside of JSX, that now formats better :) @PrettierCode/1503953341587820544

7. I made an @eleven_ty template language extension for JSX! I designed it to resemble React syntax at a high level, but you don’t have to use any client-side JSX and it’s pretty easy to do async processing in your template ✨ npmjs.com/package/eleventy-hast-jsx

10. This brief interruption to your irregularly scheduled tech content is brought to you by the world’s only* ice skating marching band. I had a ton of fun trying to stay simultaneously upright and on beat last night with the rest of @BrownUBandStand! ⛸🥁 (*probably) @TylerDumontNews/1466905862937718796

13. I made a fun little tool yesterday: a parser for decoding C/Objective-C type strings. Now you can quickly find out that c12@0:4@8 is the type of a method with the signature - (char)arg1:(id)arg1! observablehq.com/@j-f1/objc-type-decoder

14. I do interactive rebases fairly often so I thought I’d try my hand at making a GUI for editing the git-rebase-todo files…

18. Is anyone else having difficulties getting the #WWDC21 Developer app to mirror to a TV? I just get this non-interactive iPad UI instead of the video, even if I play it full screen.

19. Use format on paste in your editor? Prettier will now put your cursor before the semicolon instead of after it when you paste something at the end of a line! @__sosukesuzuki/1401131082293006336

20. Proud to introduce my revolutionary new frontend UI framework, Vanilla! It renders your UI to an OffscreenCanvas in a Web Worker, exports the canvas as a data: URL, then displays it to the user with an image map to enable interaction.

22. For a short time between when they stopped including DVD drives on their laptops and when typical Internet speeds became fast enough to support over-the-air update downloads, Apple released bottle-based OS X installers. They were the inspiration for Homebrew’s “bottle” feature.

28. One year later: still very cool, but at ~100 weekly downloads I think it’s safe to say it did not catch on. @Vjeux/1250687160237211649

29. Calling it a night with my coding experiments because Xcode, Archive Utility, and my SSD are all nudging me away from an approach involving shipping 90k+ resource files in an iOS app.
