For the past few months, @pierrecomputer has been working on a brand new primitive, Trees. Just like Diffs, it’s an incredibly fast, modern, and beautiful library for rendering lists of files and folders.

Everyone at @pierrecomputer knows I'm a huge Cursor fan, but that has never included their agent UI. For some reason though, @conductor_build hits different for me and I love it. UI is similar, but agents seem to pickup my style/voice/prefs way more easily. PR flow is nice, too.

Thank you, Apple design team! If this is true, window design is much better in Golden Gate over Tahoe. The Tahoe-style layering of the sidebar was an unnecessary visual complication that no one needed. Give me defined window and UI boundaries (and sane corners), please.

Hot take, most Golden Gate icons are an improvement and the Tahoe liquid glass icon aesthetic is a blurry, frosted layering without any other glass qualities. Glass is sharp, polished, affects light, etc. We didn't get much of that in Tahoe icons. Not perfect, but I like.

➽ Technical post from @amadeus on how Diffs is so damned fast, why we had to build the new CodeView component, and more. pierre.computer/writing/on-r…
Had a lot of fun playing with Unicode characters for the "illustrations"!
(Also, who's working on WebKit? Let's make it better!)

Full send to end the week—zero blanking while scrolling and switching between a few dozen themes every second.
DiffsHub.com, now with themes. Shoutout @amadeus and @necolas.

Celebrate Friday with our new Party Mode. We started by adding theme support, then thought, what if you could browse themes like you browse diffs, and at the same time, and just as fast?
try it with your fav public diff (shift click to change speeds)

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!

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`.

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.

100M lines of diffed code in 200K files (we've done millions fwiw), all rendered in the browser with the smoothest scroll performance.
Built with Diffs.com and Trees.software—and yes, coming soon as a demo app where anyone can view any GitHub diff.
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.

Is there anyway to get additional environments on @vercel without making the jump from Pro to Enterprise? We have a single app we split publish to multiple sites and that's our key to adding another site (it's a good one, I promise!). Wondering if I'm missing something.

Thanks everyone for the love with the launch of Trees.software today! It was a ton of fun to design and build this alongside @SlexAxton and the rest of @pierrecomputer. Excited to keep improving Trees and Diffs, so let us know what you think!

I worked a bunch on performance for trees, and I think the performance is really good actually, but I'm eager to get back in the lab and make this even better.
This demo is entirely on the main thread. Seeded from a list of 1.5m presorted path strings in a javascript array. We can do a lot better than that!
At Pierre Computer Company our whole business right now is building beyond whatever used to be considered "reasonable" into complete absurdity.
