Where they publish
Site ctate.dev An index of everything they have shipped.
Not a blog: a list of shipped things — libraries, templates, demos and experiments, most of them around Vercel's v0 and agent tooling. The fastest read on what they are working on right now.
Link verified 2 Sept 2026.
x.com @ctatedev Where each new tool gets announced, usually with a demo.
Launches and demo videos of their own libraries, plus running commentary on agents and the web platform. Almost everything on ctate.dev appears here first.

- I've been f--king with JavaScript since '97 I definitely didn't expect it to end up everywhere, especially on the server in any serious capacity But here we are. JS is everywhere. And now it has another advantage: LLMs know it *really* well I love Rust. Tbh I love working with pretty much any language. But there's also something incredibly useful about having an "everything language" across the stack, ecosystem and now AI tooling too I want to see JS/TS keep evolving. I want to see it succeed. And I think part of that means seriously exploring what static JavaScript looks like If you're passi… 24 Sept 2026

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
