#182I launched Quiet UI this week: https://quietui.org/ It prioritizes accessibility, longevity, performance, and simplicity. With the autoloader, one script tag loads components dynamically without downloading the entire library. (npm also available.) Theming uses color-mix() and OKLAB to create uniform color palettes from a single CSS property. Adaptive palettes are used for dark mode. All form controls are form-associ…
FYI the browse components button clips text from the next section on ios From the text ‘What's in the box?’ Only the W is visible

#183So far, we've built the video generation and dream journaling features. The app is live on TestFlight, and we're preparing a major update soon that includes a new better UI, and dream questionnaire to help with pattern recognition and dream mapping.
Would love to hear thoughts, feedback, or connect with others working on similar intersections of tech and the mind! If you're interested in trying it out, you can find the TestFlight link on our website: https://visirya.com

It supports Claude Code and Codex, but has you constantly working on multiple features in Git worktrees. This way you are always able to stay busy while waiting on your agents.
It has built in tools for review, such as a diff viewer, and a quick button to run your application in different worktrees for testing. It has completely transformed the way I work.

#185Most design inspiration sites lean heavily on curated mockups (Dribbble) or award-winning showcases (Awwwards, Mobbin). That makes them polished, but they don’t reflect what most production sites actually look like. Font of Web takes a different approach: it sources directly from live websites, and the community can clip specific elements instead of entire pages. That means you can browse navbars, pricing cards, dashboards, etc., not just full screenshots.
Each clip is enriched with metadata (fonts, color palettes, original domain). Search works across that metadata, natural language queries (“minimalist fintech dashboard”), and even visual similarity — so you can find results either by text or by image.
There’s also a Chrome extension to snip and save from any site.
I’d like to hear from designers and frontend engineers: is this useful in your workflow? Anything obviously missing?

#186Since a few months back I am working on a side project to give a snapshot of the regional and global species and natural ecosystems.
I use manual (me) and automated tools (web and literature search tools, llms, visualizers ...) to search, extract, organize and visualize ecosystem literature and data.
A regional example of mountain gorilla's of Rwanda: https://www.earthmetainsights.com/emi-cards-gorillas-of-rwan...
A global example of Elephants across the world: https://www.earthmetainsights.com/emi-cards-state-of-elephan...
If there are some species that are you would like to see a snapshot of, and the region/location let me know and i will try to get a similar visualization. DM or as reply to the chat. Share the species name (common or scientific) and location (can be a city, town, region, province, country).
It is a work 8n progress, but I would be very happy to recieve feedback.

#187Release engineering for FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE. Major releases are always a lot of work, but this is probably the biggest release in 20 years due to the new base system distribution system landing. (We're switching from "here's a tarball containing everything" to "here's 500 packages", with resulting changes in the build process, download/update mirrors, installer, etc.)
What's the ETA?
Given that this is a major release, there are fairly wide error bars on that; it could be as much as 3 weeks earlier if the first release candidate turns out to be perfect, and of course it could be later if things go badly (but I very much hope to get it out by the end of 2025).
