Integrating TypeScript with Svelte Adam Rackis has written a complete intro to setting up TypeScript with Svelte. Catalyst: GitHub’s approach to making Web Components easier GitHub is a fast website with a good UI, and it’s largely based on extensions to the old server-based approach for web dev instead of the single page app approach.

Snapdrop: like Airdrop using WebRTC Snapdrop lets you transfer files easily between web browsers on the same local network. I’ve always found Airdrop to be finnicky, so this seems like a boon (plus it isn’t tied to only Apple devices).

Hotwire: HTML Over the Wire Basecamp has released their “New Magic” (as DHH has been teasing) and it’s called Hotwire. The idea is to use server-rendered HTML as much as possible, getting fast frontend interaction nearly for free. Turbo is a big part of this, and is the successor to TurboLinks. They still use Stimulus for those cases where you need real interactivity, and they have a new (not-yet-released) project called Strada for hooking up to native apps.

Fake, Hollywood-like hacking UIs Arwes lets you create actual sci-fi like UIs for your apps, using React components. If what you want instead is just fun, fake UIs for pretending to do stuff (as they do with Hollywood films), GeenPrank’s Hacker Typer is awesome and fun. There’s also Hacker Typer, which is simpler and lets you put in whatever code you want it to type out. And Hollywood for local typing.

Blob Opera Ever wanted to have your own opera singers? That are blobs? Now is your chance MailTrackerBlocker MailTrackerBlocker is an open source plugin for Apple’s Mail app that blocks email open trackers. Mail offers a “don’t load external images” option, which is a blunt instrument. I end up clicking “load images” for a lot of messages, just to see the images. MailTrackerBlocker just gets rid of tracking images specifically.
