same problem here
The author states "Virality is rare and nearly impossible to predict" and yet one of his products aims to automate the creation of "viral LinkedIn posts"! Much irony.
How did I forget textual, thank you! It might be a good solution as I can imagine Claude Sonnet vibe coding interesting UIs with it...

Am also investigating xterm.js currently.

Anything that uses too much CSS (eg tries to 'construct' layouts with it rather than just rending text) seems a little fragile.

Ask HN: Best Way to Build MS-DOS-Style Text UI in the Browser?

I'm working on a web app that mimics the look and feel of an old MS-DOS program—think Turbo Pascal IDE or Norton Commander.The goal* is a keyboard-only, text-based UI running inside a browser, with windowed UI elements and ASCII graphics.I've looked into Xterm.js, React TUI libraries, and vanilla JS canvas solutions, but I'd love input from those who've built something similar.Are there any...

"It felt like being in a busy pub where I could chat to loads of different people"

This is one of the best descriptions of how social media feels (when it's at its best, anyway) that I've seen

Perhaps RSS makes a comeback in some shape or form, as a way for LLMs/agents to fetch the latest content from sites?
There’s definitely something to be said for “hardly any CSS” websites that are brutally functional.

For example was looking at http://www.steephill.tv/ yesterday for cycling news (recently shut down sadly)

Are there any safety considerations with regards to having the power supply and other innards exposed?

Remember it's a French word, not something that rhymes with "itch" ;)
I like the sound of a P2P distributed code collaboration platform...

For such a seminal web technology, I thought the 'thanks/goodbye' page was a huge missed opportunity from Flash... there's so much goodwill and nostalgia for the old days and they "celebrate" it with urm... https://get3.adobe.com/flashplayer/thankyou/

Tip for avoiding them (on my Samsung TV anyway) - if you see 2 ads queued... hit back, then play again... often you get just 1 ad or even none at all on the second play

Another member of the AlpineJS fanclub here, no more jQuery, and no longer feel like I need to invest days and days learning Vue (which I never quite get round to).

We use Alpine + https://tachyons.io/ for CSS (powered by Craft CMS) on almost all our projects now.

Hmmm let's see — restrooms, people sitting outside (like the kids in the photo) or passing close to each other, even cars parked closer than 2m together with the window open. I'm sure there are more. (Edit: I'm not saying that any of these are highly likely, but I do think it's impossible to rule them out).

Craft CMS with the Blitz plugin is a pretty nifty combo.
