Issue #44:

  • Most AI dev tools are secretly in love with Vite — but not all of them
  • A browser update is about to break your h1 styles - You’ve been warned
  • A clean little tool to turn tweets into sharable images
  • Also: web animations, the nicest place on the internet, open source politics, and 3D printers

​Is Vite Winning the AI Game?

FROM wes

Evan You tested 7 different AI code generation tools, and Vite was the default for 5. Can you guess which ones don't use Vite?

​

​Default styles for h1 elements are changing

selected by CJ

A lot of sites that depend on browser default styles for headings h1s are going to break... make sure your site is updated before this change rolls out to browsers

​

​JSX Over The Wire — overreacted​

cj's find!

Dan Abromov makes the argument that if you start designing your API directly for your front-end, you might as well use JSX/server components instead of JSON.

​

​Tweet to Image Converter ​

Randy's rec!

Nifty little tool that turns tweets into PNGs.
