#ggg is now a compile error. TypeScript types can check hex colors, alpha included, no runtime code.
How it works and its limits (string literals only, hex only): github.com/danfry1/typescrip…
Playground: typescriptlang.org/play?#cod…
I built a Spotify client for the terminal.
waxon has vim keys, album art and synced lyrics, and it can play music by itself or drive the Spotify app.
Free and open source. Try the demo in your browser 👇
waxon.danfry.dev
brew install danfry1/tap/waxon
(also Nix, Scoop and Go)

I read through every note and routine before using a Grok Bot template, and I'll probably keep doing it.
But does @bot check templates for anything sketchy, or should everyone be reviewing them before they import?
My Fire TV was watching what I watch.
A built-in service fingerprints what's on screen, even through HDMI, and sends Amazon the channels, shows and ads you watched.
Joined the debloat trend and switched it off, plus 28 other packages, over ADB.
Amazon's own page on it (ACR): amazon.com/gp/help/customer/…
There's a toggle in Settings > Preferences > Privacy Settings too. I disabled the package as well:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.amazon.tv.acr
Typo a CSS module class and tsc fails. No codegen, no .d.ts files.
typed-css-imports uses content mappers from the TypeScript 7.1 beta, so styles.buttn is an error in your editor and in CI. Completions update as you type in the CSS file. Sass works too.
pnpm add -D typed-css-imports [email protected]

building on this: port 65536 is now a compile error. no runtime check, no recursion 🧱
ALT TypeScript code defining a Port type that accepts 1 to 65535, digit by digit, using template literal types. listen(3000) and listen(65535) compile, while listen(65536) and listen(0) are underlined in red as errors.
turns out TypeScript types can enforce a min and max string length too
ALT TypeScript code: a Username template literal type built from 3 required one-character placeholders and 5 optional ones, so only strings of 3 to 8 characters are allowed. "dan" and "danfry" compile; "df" (too short) and "danfrydev" (too long) are errors.

Built an open benchmark off the back of this: 5 typescript checkers, 3 real projects, raw output behind every result
Controlled numbers come in under my quick first run. tsc-ts is 4.5x faster than tsgo on type-fest at defaults, 3.4x with both at 10 threads.
