Finally got @amadeus to write about what goes into making our diffs so special.
A love letter to FE development: web workers, WASM, novel virtualization and memory management techniques, and more.
Fun read if you're a perf geek and hate blanking.

Added a file system component built on top of the existing Extend UI file viewers and trees from @pierrecomputer
Code is available below
amazing stuff, integrating now. would be awesome if you also shipped a file system viewer so somebody can do a simple web-based file navigator which when you click on an item traverses an index and then opens the actual file with these extend components

I gave Codex the latest blog post from @pierrecomputer about his diffs library, plus the repo as a reference to improve my own Grid component (Better AG Grid). The results are insane.
Thanks to the team for unlocking these patterns for everyone. I hope to open source the result.

I’m so impressed by the @pierrecomputer team.
We were having trouble with the diff renderer in Conductor and @amadeus jumped into our repo, did a bunch of profiling, and fixed it.
So excited whenever they release anything :)

Extremely fast and well done primitives. Trees and Diffs are used in Claude, Codex, OpenCode more
We had Alex and Amadeus from @pierrecomputer on the podcast.
The way they used pi autoresearch for performance was genius.

IMO what @amadeus, @SlexAxton, @necolas, and @mdo built here is probably the most impressive frontend browser feat i've seen since the figma editor.
not particularly close

Take any public diff from GitHub and virtualize it nearly instantly, no matter how large, with DiffsHub. Built to show off our brand new CodeView component.
To try it out, replace `github` with `diffshub` in your address bar.

This is how performant PR review could be. On any forge. Pierre is showing us that the only thing holding that back is a skill issue. Excellent ship here! They’re on fire!

i'm really more of a product engineer than an opensource engineer, but @fat bullied me into making diffs, so `here's a component that you can just throw unrealistic amounts of bullshit shit at and it should just work`.
my goals were, unblankable, absurd, and a waste of pierre's vc money building shit nobody realistically needs.
also it's still pretty unoptimized, so i got a lot more work to do. please use it, find bugs and let me know! 🙏

Ayyy go have some fun with DiffsHub.com, a crispy clean demo app showing off our new CodeView component for rendering millions of lines of changes with all the fixings—virtualization, streaming, scrolling, annotating, and more. Just replace `github` with `diffshub`.

Codiff: A beautiful, extremely fast local diff viewer
I review SO MUCH code locally these days. I asked Codex to build it using diffs.com and trees.software. Thanks @amadeus and @fat. Amazing software.
It took 16 minutes to build this. It's amazing.

We were curious what rendering Bun's rust rewrite would look like if we used our JS based diffs and trees.
It worked pretty well, so we added a slider to 100x it.
Still works well.
100m changed lines in a browser.

Today we're launching Jacq. A coding agent built together with the small models we've been training at @relace_ai for the past 1.5 years.
It runs entirely in the cloud, and decides when to pull context from any of your connected devices.
It uses all the software you already live in: Slack, Linear, GitHub, email, etc.
Plus, threads are now durable — a real record of how work happened. Just drag them into a new chat to get context for your next task.

It feels good to make stuff people like
But the real heroes are are @pierrecomputer for open sourcing diffs[dot]com and @opencode for OpenTUI
It's been fun watching the explosion of software those libraries have driven
