The one thing I'm waiting for in @paper (unless I've missed it) is the ability to import Figma files. They are truly a nightmare to work with, because Figma's MCP is just kind of terrible.
I created figcli as a workaround for this, but it would still be nice if I could just import the file directly into paper.

If anyone is interested in a better way to work with Figma files though, check out github.com/watzon/figcli
And if the Paper team wants a good reference on the Figma binary format I have that documented in the repo.

In light of what happened, I'm doubling down on skills like /improve.
A frontier model got pulled. If it happened once, it's gonna happen again. Fable today. 4.9 tomorrow or maybe gpt 6 one day.
So, treat intelligence as borrowed. Drain intelligence when it's available. Build a catalog of plans today. Then implement later with a cheaper, open source, or a model you control.
Build the backlog now.

Not only great marketing, but Resend really is so much better than Sendgrid. Highly recommend.

I've been testing iOS betas for a long time.
Every time I install one on my personal device (like an idiot) I am prepared for the usual slow downs, overheating, and app incompatibility.
So imagine my surprise when the first iOS 27 beta has none of that. On the contrary, it almost feels more stable than iOS 26 did.

I'm sorry, but I am constantly reminded of this meme on here as people try to rehype things that launched weeks, months, or in some case years ago.

Google's new algorithm just shrunk 31GB of memory down to 4GB 🤯
TurboVec is a new open-source tool that stores the data your AI app searches through, using 16x less memory.
It runs on Google's TurboQuant, which skips the slow setup step every other tool needs.
→ Faster search than the popular alternative (FAISS)
→ Works on both Mac and standard servers
→ Narrow results to exactly what you want
→ Plugs straight into LangChain and LlamaIndex
Your data never leaves your machine. Runs fully offline, works with Python out of the box.
100% Open Source.

VoidZero is joining Cloudflare.
Our mission stays the same: to make JavaScript developers more productive than ever before. Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite remain MIT-licensed. Evan and the VoidZero team will continue leading them.
Cloudflare shares our commitment to open source. Together, we can keep investing in the tooling developers rely on every day, while bringing the Vite ecosystem and Cloudflare’s platform even closer together.

It's official — I just dropped my first app.
I noticed a distinct lack of iOS apps for browsing anime image boards (also known as boorus). The one existing app, Anime Box, feels outdated and doesn't work easily out of the box with several popular boards.
My solution, Booru Browser. Creative name I know.
Just dropped the TestFlight for iOS. Come try it out!

I'll admit, @MiniMax_AI's MiniMax M3 isn't half bad. I can't tell yet how it stacks up against DeepSeek, and it definitely takes a while to solve more complex problems, but in the end it seems to get the right result so far, and that is something.

A new booru browsing experience is coming soon to iOS. This will be my first official app launch and I couldn't be more excited.
Stay tuned for the #TestFlight

Empowering people to own and change their software was the open source slogan for decades. Now the grand democratization finally arrives, and it's all "yeah, but not like that" 🙄
Flathub has updated their policy to explicitly ban the usage of AI / LLM in the development of any software.
“Applications containing AI-generated or AI-assisted code, documentation, or other content are not allowed.”
Flathub is a Flatpak powered “App Store for Linux”, popular among GNOME users.
