This doesn't remove my own critiques of ATP or my concerns about what's going to happen in terms of if more and more infrastructure comes online. But Blacksky, and Rudy especially, *are* doing the work, and deserve praise and respect here for that.
@stroughtonsmith Ah, the hover state. I wouldn't call that lensing. It does lens, but so do literally all custom Liquid Glass controls.
@stroughtonsmith how so? There are multiple custom controls demonstrated on that page with Liquid Glass lensing. What am I missing?

It’s great to see Tailwind CSS V4 using OKLCH and wide gamut colours. Here’s a gamut test that shows which colours are within sRGB (shown as greyscale) and which colours require Display P3 (shown as their original colour).

I respect content warnings but cannot abide—just does not line up for me with a voluntary publisher-subscriber model. I fundamentally can’t tailor my posts to the tastes of everyone who elects to follow me.

What drove this home has been layoff & looking-for-work posts. Each one of those that gets boosted feels like javelin being slowly pushed through my chest. That’s my problem. I can’t expect the network to adapt to me, or to weigh my anguish against others’ unemployment. Fundamentally.

@rauschma what I like about Observables is that they feel like they are the more formalized, higher ceremony version of state management when compared to Signals. They are explicit instead of ambient and they tend have a large number of utilities and operators that cover use cases a lot of signal implementations don’t easily address (e.g. skipping updates and debouncing).

There’s also something that feels really elegant about a well crafted FRP chain.
