13 things I would have told myself before building an autorouter 🧵 I’ve spent about a year working on an autorouter for tscircuit (an open-source electronics CAD kernel written in Typescript). If I could go back a year, these are the 13 things I would tell myself

🚀 Launching style-observer: A bulletproof, production-ready library for observing CSS property changes in JS. For reals. Developed with the help of my apprentice @DmitrySharabin over the last month, after I ran into yet another use case, and none of the existing options worked…

Nice post on software engineering. "Cognitive load is what matters" minds.md/zakirullin/cog… Probably the most true, least practiced viewpoint.

an IndexedDB based persistent SQLite out of the native WASM port just landed, it provides db .save() or .delete() extra methods and it overrides the constructor to point at a db file + optional buffer to initialize it. I love when my modules come together! github.com/WebReflection/…

Bolt and v0 are in an interesting race, each trying to protect different parts of their product. Bolt already open-sourced the things which v0 considers its secret sauce. The main thing v0 could do to unseat Bolt would be to release an open-source WebContainers alternative

💡 There is a free performance improvement you can make right now to your CSS variable animations (if they're scoped to the current element). Register your CSS variable the inherits: false option. Depending on the size of the style recalcs this can be a huge saving.

In a nicer web world, we'd be: - exposing lower-level primitives in web standards - making alternative APIs to existing legacy APIs - resisting adding one-off use-cases in the form of DSLs (Yes there's some of former, but not nearly enough, and too much of the latter)

@nullvoxpopuli @trusktr @document_body The team loved it. Culturally, we avoided hiring people who were framework zealots. We hired people who had a growth/learning mindset and wanted to deliver the best customer experience, picking the best tools for that. The big team I spoke of, after they converted over, made a…

@threepointone Work on speccing ESX was started by @WebReflection a while ago and it went down like a lead balloon. Enrage yourself by reading the feedback he got on esdiscuss here: es.discourse.group/t/proposal-esx… TLDR it's unnecessary because we have tagged template literals already

Why do so few web component related discussions focus on actual user-facing problems that are being solved by WC’s or their alternative

Async is hard, but essential. In this post I make the case to bring Async to Signals and explore the profound impact that has had on my view of reactivity. "Async Derivations in Reactivity" by @RyanCarniato #DEVCommunity #webdev #signals #solidjs dev.to/this-is-learni…

TIL: Transient Activation it's not that an event must be sync at all costs to allow multiple async APIs (such as SerialPort related one) to work, there is a timeout so that handlers can be async and, if fast enough, can do much more at once (ie: getPorts) developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glo…

I was looking for an alternative to Comlink to clean up some web worker and frame spaghetti. Searched google, github, chatgpt, nothing good. Finally I thought to search twitter for ‘comlink @WebReflection’. 😙👌Perfect:

The web really needs better touch gestures/handling. Its a huge space where the web is running behind on native. I've yet to come across a web implementation that *truly* feels native-like.

@skeleton_loader @wesleytodd @jarredsumner So the implementation is in two places but the heavy lifting is actually mostly done by @PostCSS's `postcss-selector-parser` library tbqh (ref. npmjs.com/package/postcs…). I did a bunch of research & that seemed like the best/easiest library to use for parsing CSS selectors & then…
