Safari 27 supports JSPI, a magic WebAssembly capability for sync native code to suspend on an async 𝙿𝚛𝚘𝚖𝚒𝚜𝚎. On https://t.co/OL0LzGtvAw, libfx uses the built-in browser 𝚏𝚎𝚝𝚌𝚑 stack to make API calls. As more code goes native, I expect WebAssembly to play a huge role in the future of the web. Related

Bluesky Still really enjoying Muse. I use Things.app for all of my todos, and though it has cloud sync they (still) haven’t added an official API. I told muse to build it and a minute or two later I have ongoing todo sync from my LLM across all my Apple devices. Wild. LLMs Related

Loyalty to specific people who are not in tight sync with the mission and how to achieve it will create factionalism and undermine the well-being of the community. It is often the case, and quite beautiful, that personal loyalties exist. However, it is also often the case, and quite ugly, when personal loyalties come into conflict with the organization's interests. #principleoftheday Related

Screenshot diffing, feedback inboxes, PWAs, and of course local-first sync layer with self-hosted backend. Matches up pretty well with my approach on personal apps thus far into the LLM coding age. Curious to hear from others. Quoting @flourish.org I vibe coded three personal apps that I'd wanted for a while. They work on mobile and web, sync offline first between them, and are polished. This write up describes why, how, and what I learnt. www.flourish.org/2026/08/pers... LLMs Related

When @traverspw told me he wanted to use Turbopuffer for an index scan for delta sync I was sure I misheard. A very novel use of Turbopuffer right here: Quoting @linear Rethinking delta sync at scale with @turbopuffer.

Really happy with the breadth of topics this year! Local models, game development, homelab setups, open social protocols... plus the classics like malleable software, sync, and tools for thought.

Their words
I go back to usually when people are unhappy it's because these things are a little bit out of sync. Like they want this big thing, but they don't actually they're not actually excited about what it takes to do that thing and therefore it's just going to be a mismatch.

Their words
Agentic and sync are natural complements because local-first is multiplayer by default, and agents are another sort of "player" in addition to human collaborators.

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

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.
