Just recorded this little performance
demo of @overtone_app while working on my talk for @localfirstconf.
Near-zero query latency enables a magical UX.

The only flue I like catching
TIL about github.com/withastro/flue, an agent harness framework being developed by the astro team.

That said, I think it needs a proper Effect API (or even use Effect under the hood). 👀

Incredible speaker lineup for this year’s Local-First Conf.
Can't wait for the event next month. Also I think we only have ~10 tickets left, so now's probably your last chance to get one. 👀
We're thrilled to announce our next speaker batch for Local-First Conf 2026.

I've left most of what I want to say in the VoidZero blog post. But worth repeating:
Thank you @voidzerodev team for trusting me and joining me on this wild ride. I am very proud to have assembled such a talented team and even prouder of what we have built together.
Thank you all our investors for believing in my vision, in particular @caseyaylward from @Accel who led both our Seed and Series A.
Thank you the @vite_js community. Vite and VoidZero wouldn’t have come this far without your trust and support. We will continue building with all of you, together, in the open.
And thank you to everyone that made this happen at @Cloudflare. Looking forward to working with you all!

Yay, got some more Cloudflare stock!
Congrats @evanyou & team! 🙌
Cloudflare has acquired Vite / VoidZero
Void is vite's fullstack Intertia-like framework.
This gives Cloudflare control over the entire stack. They have all the primitives from frontend/backend framework, linting, testing, formatting, JS runtime, db, kv, inference, blob storage, access, etc...
smart move. A tidy package they can hand to an LLM to make a site.

I've been using Notion agents a lot more since the Notion developer platform launch.
Given I already keep most of my notes/documents/thoughts in Notion anyway, most of my "context" is already there. This unlocks a lot of interesting use cases when combined with good tools!

Will share more shortly as I'm currently exploring whether I could shift a lot of my OpenClaw usage into Notion with the right tool binding (e.g. safe access to GitHub, Google tools, DMs via Beeper, etc.).
It's looking very promising and hope to share a demo soon! 👀

Hoping that WWDC will lower the friction to bring my various AI tools (CLIs, MCP etc) to my various Apple product interaction surfaces.
Eg have Siri make a tool call with low latency.

I'm slowly but surely forming a better idea how to do "better specs".
The key idea is to make them structured and allowing a spec to contain structured source of truth definitions and rich artifacts such as code-defined diagrams, API/CLI/schema definitions, etc.

This could look something like "literate TypeScript". A mixture of TypeScript, Markdown and React. Think Jupyter Notebooks but modern and embracing web technologies.
Still early days but I'm already working towards this spec-driven vision.

System diagrams are one of the most important foundations for the agentic software engineering.
Yet the current generation of tooling (e.g. Mermaid) feel incredibly antiquated (e.g. getting the layout right in a declarative way is close to impossible).
Are there some new tools?

I've shifted most of my time r/w code to r/w systems diagrams.
We need the equivalent of a "modern programming language" for diagrams. What we currently have feels like Fortran.

I really like projects like beautiful-mermaid [1] or mermaid-ascii [2] but unfortunately they don't seem to support more complex diagrams.
D2 [3] also has been very promising but unfortunately isn't actively developed anymore.
