jzig··on Cap'n Web: a new RPC system for browsers and web servers
Hey kentonv, this looks really neat. How would you go about writing API documentation for something like this? I really like writing up OpenAPI YAML documents for consumers of APIs I write so that any time someone asks a question, "How do I get XYZ?" I can just point them to e.g. the SwaggerUI. But I'm struggling to understand how that would work here.

jzig··on Claude Opus 4.1
This is interesting. I do use Cursor with almost exclusively Sonnet and thinking mode turned on. I wonder if what Cursor does under the hood (like their indexing) somehow empowers Sonnet more. I do not have much experience with using Claude Code.
jzig··on Claude Opus 4.1
I'm confused by how Opus is presented to be superior in nearly every way for coding purposes yet the general consensus and my own experience seem to be that Sonnet is much much better. Has anyone switched to entirely using Opus from Sonnet? Or maybe switching to Opus for certain things while using Sonnet for others?

jzig··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)
For anyone interested in the tabletop Star Wars RPG by Fantasy Flight Games / Edge Studio - a friend and I have been working on some small typescript libraries starting with dice rolling and monte carlo simulations that we can eventually use with web apps.

Open source tools and art assets: https://github.com/swrpg-online

A quick repl.it one-shot UI using the monte carlo library: https://dice-pool-simulator-chrispan5.replit.app/

SWRPG Combat Simulator: https://swrpg-combat-sim.com/

Working on a frontend dice roller that utilizes the open source dice SVG files and rolling utility.
