    Recently adopted https://github.com/marktext/marktext as I wanted the editable preview that Obsidian offers, but for all .md, not just items in my vault. I dig it so far. And it do…

    To be clear, this isn't a skill for the devtools mcp, but an independent project. It doesn't look bad, but obviously browser automation + agents is a very busy space with lots of p…

    Both of you are right. They can generate the code quite well, but well-considered UX is another thing entirely.

    This was not spoofed at the ADS-B layer. It was just spoofed to adsb exchange. (While typically a feeder contributes to multiple sites, this one didn't.) eg: - https://globe.adsb.f…

    Gemini CLI is open source. Don't need to intercept at the network when you can just add inspectGeminiApiRequest() in the source. (I suggest it because I've been maintaining a perso…

    I've been working on something super similar. https://github.com/paulirish/markpaste There's now a CLI that'll read and update your (Mac) clipboard with the result. For this italic…

    Very impressive to see the primitives of CDP be used for such a different DX than what's in existing devtools. Really well done.

    Amen! The terms "accordion" and "carousel" were really codified by the pattern library. Establishing a common vernacular definitely accelerates things.
