I created a cli called spotlight-testing to solve this pitfall with worktrees. I hope it helps! https://github.com/mblode/spotlight-testing

Cool to see Mozilla validate this, I built https://shareful.ai with the same idea and the same tagline!
I built a mini game with this technique [1][2]

Creator here. CC/Codex kept re-solving bugs I'd already fixed in other projects. The fix was pretty much lost forever. Shareful is just markdown files in Git repos that agents can search. No server, no account. Happy to answer questions

Is there a way to enable WebGPU flag on Firefox Linux?

If anyone’s exploring Rust + React, I’ve been building something similar on the rendering side.

react-vello [1] exposes Vello (a Rust GPU renderer) as a React renderer via WASM + WebGPU, so you can draw shapes and text declaratively while Rust handles the rendering in the browser.

Creator here. I realised this should not be a central app or database but a distributed set of files backed by public GitHub repos. Happy to answer any questions
Re:Dithering – Part 2: The Ordered Dithering on Monday January 26, 2026 @05:52PM (#46772795)
I built a blue noise generator and dithering library in Rust and TypeScript. It generates blue noise textures and applies blue noise dithering to images. There’s a small web demo to try it out [1]. The code is open source [2] [3]

Re:Feather – Simply beautiful open source icons on Sunday October 16, 2022 @04:00PM (#33226724)
I contributed the RSS icon[1] to Feather a few years ago. The circle shape in the RSS icon is visually denser and deviates from all other shapes in the icon set. I apologize for breaking the constraints but in my defense, it looks much nicer this way

Re:Hecto: Build your own text editor in Rust on Monday January 18, 2021 @06:23PM (#25827977)
I found this to be an extremely valuable tutorial! The step-by-step format using code diffs made everything very clear and easy to follow along. If you're a beginner or intermediate Rust developer, Phillipp's series of tutorials can also be useful as a guide to structure a moderately feature-full codebase in a way that is easy to grok. Great work and I'd love to see a similar series like this on other topics like building a Markdown parser or basic key-value database for example.

I recently built my personal site and this is the first time I'm sharing it with the world! https://matthewblode.com/
For my university essays, I keep my research citations in Zotero and write in Markdown using Ulysses. Then when it is ready to submit, I'll use Raphael Kabo's technique [1] to export into Microsoft Word. It is a truly simple workflow to get perfect formating with little effort.
