rramon··on Show HN: Reladraw – A diagram language where you decide where to place things
Cool, I think there's a bug when switching themes in the web ui in Safari, the artifacts example with the dark red background isn't readable in light themes. Vesper would be a nice theme to add.
rramon··on Topcoat is pushing the boundary of server applications with Rust
Topcoat needs an Inertia like React integration + Stylex (type safe CSS) on the frontend imo if you want make it as agent friendly as possible. HTMX, Tailwind etc. are still ok but folks who switch to Rust now do this mostly for easier and safer automation. So if you want to grow the framework better think about React.
rramon··on Rails World 2026 Opening Keynote [video]
Depends a lot on the token budget I think, different situations for established businesses or strapped founders vs side hustles or hobbyists. So in a way you outgrow Rails or frameworks like it once you can afford a software factory on autopilot 24/7.
rramon··on Rails World 2026 Opening Keynote [video]
Agents might pick up Topcoat (inspired by Rails) as the framework for those Rust apps.
rramon··on Turn off and restrict access to Apple Intelligence features on Mac
MacOS GG didn't fit on my 16gb USB drives for a clean reinstall so I decided to upgrade from Tahoe and do a clean wipe afterwards, expecting that this leaves me with a clean GG install. But guess what, after wiping I was back on Tahoe after spending hours updating..
rramon··on Do people prefer traditional architecture?
I think people prefer to look at traditional architecture but prefer to live in modern architecture because at least inside it is better optimized for actual human needs (designed to maximize space, light etc).

The contradiction between outside (public space) and inside (personal space) is worth discussing as well.

rramon··on Show HN: Capsule – Single-file web apps that save their data into SQLite
Whats the advantage over plain single html files/apps using colocated css and use the browser/web view local storage? Those could be saved as PWAs or not?
rramon··on Shopify moves back to Native from React Native
Missing out on flawless App Intents integration could be business risk for Shopify once people get used to doing everything from a central chat interface, including shopping. I guess it's the real reason for the switch.
rramon··on AirPods 5
You can't have a proper soundstage in a car no matter your setup, which kinda degrades a lot of music that wasn't designed for clubs. In a car it's basically background music when you're driving because you can't really give the music your full attention anyway (passive listening), where the lack of focus also masks a lot of details you'd hear on a proper stereo system (active listening).

Edit: to answer your question below, I like both, active and passive listening. But I wouldn't try to optimize for active criteria like details in a passive evironment like a car, so I'd spend more money on fun things like buttkickers instead of high end detail.

rramon··on Shopify acquires Tailwind
The timing is interesting. Stylex (Metas CSS in JS library) is taking off right now because it seems a better fit for AI driven coding in the long run.
rramon··on Claude for Commerce Agents
Preventing upsells won't fly with most smaller shops who depend on social media advertising and average order value (AOV) to make profits from ads.
rramon··on Iceland rejects reopening talks on EU entry
Big chains are everywhere, including Iceland.
rramon··on Omarchy: Any User Process Can Escalate to Root
Omarchy imo is best for agent maxxing Mac power users who aren't locked into Apples proprietary apps like Final Cut, audio production software or Adobe and Affinity, so maybe not so great for designers and photographers as the main system.
rramon··on Iceland rejects reopening talks on EU entry
That's the way unless you want to reward the EU for their anti small business moves.
rramon··on Black hole singularity is a surface not a point
I can only guess as well, infinite time compression might result in a big bang when it applies to everything. All black holes could lead to the same moment causing the bang.
rramon··on Was modern art a CIA psy-op? (2020)
Yeah, flaws hide within the complexity, with simple stuff it's more obvious.
rramon··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
Did you store your Amazon listed product on Amazon in their warehouse or send it out from your home or from a supplier?
rramon··on Was modern art a CIA psy-op? (2020)
Kinda paradox because AI seems better at replicating complex classic paintings and realism than rather simple modern parametric imagery.
rramon··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
They're fanning Brexit-like situations all over the EU though. Those parties (e.g. the far right Afd in Germany) are EU critic and would rather have their own version of the EU with like minded countries. Or Varoufakis (far left, previously at Valve) in Greece for example, also EU critic.
rramon··on How Europe is killing makers and micro-entrepreneurs
They'll get adequate feedback in the next elections If this doesn't get stopped, otherwise every business and their peers will likely vote for EU critic parties which means far left or far right.
rramon··on Omacom Foundation launches with $8M
Was about to sell the parts of my old Haswell Hackintosh which I did replace with a M1 Mac Mini a couple of years ago after 10 years in use, but now I might just dust off my old Lian Li case build it back together for Omarchy as my dev and tinker machine. Still has double the RAM of my Mini..
rramon··on Lovable raises $400M Series C
> The best answer I can come up with is that they're betting on people building apps without knowing how to code—that this alone will be enough to leverage LLMs and turn a profit, capturing a market that's scared away from tools like Claude Code.

With Claude Code etc. you still have to decide on a tech stack, frameworks or libraries to build on. Lovable is basically an agentic harness with Tanstack Start and Supabase setup for you + quick integrations for services online businesses typically use.

Basically like a JS dev boilerplate + agent in a box.

Their main advantage is they were kind of a first mover in that space before harnesses or agents etc. were even discussed.

rramon··on The front end framework for correctness: built on Effect, architected like Elm
Thanks, looks interesting!
rramon··on The front end framework for correctness: built on Effect, architected like Elm
Maybe a bit late to ask but how would an EffectTS backend integrate seamlessly? Im looking for a full stack agent driven workflow including domain modeling, designing state machines (with Xstate or SCXML?) etc.
rramon··on The front end framework for correctness: built on Effect, architected like Elm
Just wondering how a matching backend framework for correctness would look like. Ideally something that doesn't repeat the React mess with two routers but fits right in Inertia style.
rramon··on Apple has decided to compete for creativity app users
They bought "Play" recently, it was an UI design app dedicated to SwiftUI.
rramon··on The engine of Germany's wealth is blocking its future
Germany could turn it around with laxer laws about permanent residency and new infrastructure. Allow people to live permanently in mobile homes, vans and caravans which they can rent to won from automobile makers, invest in campsites. The good future imo isn't megacities but distributed cities with families and social circles congregating.
rramon··on Show HN: Rails UI
Wow, didn't realize that you're the one behind the Webcrunch channel. Never got into Rails but I loved your Affinity videos back in the day, you're also one of the functional CSS/Tailwind early adopters on YT.

That's where I discovered TW back in 2018 I think. It was even before the Refactoring UI book and videos and the first official version of TW.

rramon··on Kidnapped by Deutsche Bahn
No accessible emergency brakes?
rramon··on X210Ai is a new motherboard to upgrade ThinkPad X201/200
Is the X200s (s = low power variant) chassis too different or is it compatible as well?
