Introducing Preact Signals: a reactive state primitive that is fast by default. ✅ feels like using plain values 🥳 automatic updates when values change ⏱ updates DOM directly (fast!) 🥹 no dependencies arrays preactjs.com/blog/introducin…

Git at Scale (by cursor) has been one of the most interesting blog posts i've read in a while. It came right when I was frustrated with Shopify's internal git system. As an exercise, I've implemented it over the weekend as open source. It's a single rust binary that you can point at any S3 type object store. It uses WAL and CAS primitives and requires no other data store. It also implements bundle-uri so large git repos (like our mono) are very fast to download as a chain of static bundles. Also comes with basic familiar UX. github.com/tobi/walgit

Preact, just build your apps with a familiar feeling tech! If it doesn't work, yell at me!

LOL I'm going to rip out every barrel module from 14 million lines of TypeScript 😂. This is going to be a wild time.

late reply but: no, not really. the DX win from the performance improvement massively outweighed any familiarity loss. One thing we did to help was convert a bunch of "pseudo-package dirs" to real pnpm workspace packages with `"sideEffects"` configured.

the "sideEffects" config means packages can have their exported interface be a barrel without no performance hit (Vite dissolves re-exports, TS types are generated+cached so no source fan-out). And the packages made it so file moves usually don't change importer specifiers.

This got us to the end goal fast, but the main value was that it uncovered all of the incredibly nuanced bugs we had when barrel files were removed - module trees shifting between bundles, their exec timing changing, etc.

And then the bonus was that doing it as a bundler plugin meant it had to be fast, which forced decisions like doing it all via a Rust lexer (no ast), and those all got reused to build the codemod tool that we then used to stamp the barrels out of the source after.

Soon you will be able to roll Preact in vite without Babel github.com/preactjs/prefresh…

feat(vite): adopt rolldown refresh pipeline by JoviDeCroock · Pull Request #607 · preactjs/prefresh

Summary switch @prefresh/vite to configure Vite OXC for Preact and compose @prefresh/rolldown for the default refresh path keep the existing Babel transform as a selective fallback when parserPlug...

What if a signal on the server could just be a signal on the client? Wrote about @_developit's mixed-signals - it reflects server-side Preact Signals to clients over any transport. Write your state once as a model, decide where it runs. No fetch glue. No cache invalidation. Just signals. jovidecroock.com/blog/mixed-…

Bridging the Server-Client Boundary with Signals

How mixed-signals turns server-side Preact Signals into real-time shared state across clients, and what that can look like in tech like Cloudflare Durable Objects

Has anyone else noticed mobile frontends (native and web) are getting increasingly terrible (as we descend into UX vibe coding?)? I keep noticing I've developed ridiculous coping strategies like constantly copying input to clipboard in case it gets lost when sending.

New hobby: pressing End to jump directly to the end of landing pages which look like one of the 5 designs every LLM will spit out, and watching the obligatory scroll fade fall apart as I scroll up

or the copyright that tells you what year the LLM training data was collected rather than the date the page was last updated

the home depot app is so fucking slow it's unusable. I literally wanted to buy something from them. My ADHD wouldn't let me wait. Now my cat 5 cable comes from amazon. This is on them.

I've resorted to similar techniques for very popular web frontends too, directly from the makers of LLMs

lol maybe that's the shift - I'm using more frontends from the folks building LLM stuff, and that stuff is all rushed
