Hi!👋
🤯 ByteDance just announced Lynx, their native cross-platform technology
Used extensively in their apps, including TikTok!
With first-class React bindings, it's serious competitor to React Native
The architectural choices are really interesting, with a dual-thread model
This week.
I even thought about buying hux.blog and ended up grabbing hux.lol instead lol ...now it's finally time to renovate my 10+ yrs-old blog site 😂
Woohoo! Check out my new bksy handle 🥳
Hollllly shhhh... look WHAT I just got!!! I've been searching for this forever on GoDaddy, Google, and Vercel and somehow Cloudflare had it!? 🤩
Every now and then, I revisit @infrequently.org’s blog, and it’s always a moment of clarity. Despite his clashes with JS fwks, notably React, which I’ve been deeply involved with, he remains one of the most influential figures in how I understand the web and platform economics for nearly a decade.
Can we take a moment to appreciate how this generation of websites is embracing motion (via Lottie, Motion, etc.) and visual effects like blurring, gradients, and glow? The web has finally caught up the level of Flash...from 20 yrs ago. It's not too late though!
End of an era, but you totally deserve a break. Hope your personal life is just as awesome as your career, Dan
Oh yea i'm preparing tech talks again. Being a while.
I want to dedicate my first bsky to appreciating the unique form factor of tech talks: I still find them the single best way to explain and convey ideas—better than code, documents, videos, or any single medium alone. They’re the complete package, like the feature films of the tech world.
