Hello! Another tiny app of mine is called excalidraw-claymate. I did some chores today. github.com/dai-shi/exca...

I just noticed that the number of npm downloads of Valtio is higher than that of Recoil. It jumped last April. What made it so?

Happy to share my new update on excalidraw-animate! You can configure animation options, including the pointer image.

On one hand, I'm happy to see the move; on the other hand, it will make the API design harder for Jotai.

The easiest way to set up a new Waku project is with `npm create waku@latest`.

But if you're curious how things work under the hood, here's how to set it up manually 👇

Parcel supports RSC parceljs.org/recipes/rsc/ and you can play with it without a framework.

Waku waku.gg can do pretty much the same, as its minimal API is building blocks for a framework.

Heads up! I just updated excalidraw-animate! It's the tool to animate excalidraw drawings. Check it out 👉 github.com/dai-shi/exca...

For those wondering, this might show the direction a bit clearer, maybe?

Some new Zustand users might not know this, so I'm posting it again. zustand/vanilla is just 23 loc.

Waku reached a great milestone: 5k GitHub stars!
Really appreciate everyone's support!

Here's my alternative idea for Epoch Semantic Versioning by antfu.me/posts/epoch-... @antfu.me .

NEXT_EPOCH.0.0-epochEPOCH.MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

Though, it's abusing pre-release.

Magic happens! Exploring Waku/Jotai integration. We can now have server-only atoms, thanks to so many underlying techniques. This is exciting!
