new post on my personal blog.
i think these three areas often go unexplained, so hopefully this explains why some of these packages exist. these are fine to exist but the majority of developers shouldn't have to pay the cost for them.
back on my bullshit! @bomb.sh/runtime poc
syntax is rough, but i'm thrilled the concept works
jsx writes directly to a SharedArrayBuffer
rust reads from it, taffy does layout, crossterm renders
preact/signals-core handles reactivity

Huge thanks to @nicoespeon.com for being our first sponsor! 🙏🎉
we have not been acquired by openai! we believe independence is fundamental to a healthy open source ecosystem where we can just build things
if you enjoy using clack and want to help make our upcoming cli framework a reality, consider supporting us on open collective!

Just added a `detect-agent` workflow to Clack to tag fully automated PRs. Based on @matteogabriele.bsky.social's agentscan.netlify.app project which surfaces suspicious patterns from account activity. No auto-close for now, but it's an important signal to have.

This is great news. A 3 way collaboration to "unfork" clack from inside astro.
The same happened inside a few other frameworks in the past year too. So all of them now share the same dependency
@astro.build v6 uses @clack/prompts thanks to some help from our friends at @e18e.dev. Congrats on the big release!
This is a beautiful full circle moment—clack was inspired by our work on the original `create-astro` CLI. Thrilled to finally upstream it!
Open source is better together! 🚀
And we just submitted a grant application!
Love to see this kind of thing. Fund your local open source maintainer 🙏
I'm building a specialized CLI agent for a work project and somehow fallen deeper in love with @bomb.sh clack/prompts and args 💗 Building CLIs in TypeScript has never felt better
All my projects tend to have the same redirects
/chat -> discord
/on/:platform -> other social
/gh/:repo -> repos
Put together a lil @bomb.sh page to surface these!
Day 5. Finishing strong with a look ahead at 2026!
2025 was a foundational year for Bombshell.
2026 is about building on it.
Our roadmap for the year ahead is live.
Today I'm excited to announce @sequoia.pub: a CLI for self-hosted blogs to publish @standard.site lexicons to the ATmosphere

😅 well, we *should* have WebContainer-ized demos. debugging our COEP/CORP header issues.
Clack is fantastic. You should use Clack. Even if you aren't building CLIs, just use Clack for something else. Like for doing the boring chores, or for moral support.
Day 4. Did someone say docs?
ICYMI, bomb.sh/docs exists! All of our projects are now in one place.
We wanted to share some of our goals behind the docs and callout some of the unique features we have, like embedded WebContainers.io demos (thanks @stackblitz.com!)
Let us know what's missing and we'll add it.
hacking away at terminal spinners 👀
Day 3 delivers Clack v1.0!
Exciting news—Clack v1.0 is here! 🎉
🫳 Dropped CJS distribution (the only breaking change)
🆕 Added autocomplete, taskLog, and more
🌏 Localization support
🐞 Dozens of bug fixes + performance improvements
🤗 Ecosystem alignment
This release marks stable support for our current APIs
Next up, a new library.
Introducing Tab!
Tab makes it easy to add shell autocompletions to your JavaScript CLI.
Tab has already been adopted by the @cloudflare.social @nuxt.com and @vitest.dev CLIs. Are you next?
First up, a proper introduction.
Hey, we're Bombshell 👋
We're the maintainers behind projects like Astro, e18e, StudioCMS, and pkg.pr.new.
We're building focused, composable open source libraries for CLIs and TUIs.
Excited to show you what we've been up to.

Hello and welcome to launch week 💣
practicing finding beauty despite [the horrors].
spent the morning drinking coffee, listening to bon iver, and making kindling. spending the rest of the day pushing pixels by the fire. first @bomb.sh launch week starts tomorrow.
