"Shipping a button" (vid by @KaiLentit). Might be the funniest thing I've seen in years

This is the future of UI. I built an AI chat that transforms itself as you talk. Words shape not just the conversation, but the entire interface and tone. Want a new look? Dark mode? Windows 98? Ask, and watch the UI transform✨ Deployed on @Replit for everyone to try. 👇

I'm blown away by Replit Agent - @Replit . I build a lot of PoCs for work and I can't believe how fast I was able to bootstrap on an idea I am iterating on. It took me about half an hour and I love how Replit solved all my setup issues which I face when I am building something. Excited for the future and I am super interested in what to build next. In case you'd like to try my habit tracker, do DM would love to share my link. @amasad keep doing what you folks are doing. Super excited for 2025!

NEW on Replit: connections are front and center. You'll notice we're making Agent connections easier to add. Many of these already existed, but we want to make it more obvious exactly what platforms Agent is optimized for. Additionally, the team is hard at work to improve existing connections and add new ones. Expect updates in the next few weeks ;)

🚢 Workflows You, or Agent, can now define workflows in Replit. For example, you might run a "scrape and load" workflow when you need to update data in your project. The workflows you define will appear in the console or under the Run button. More on this soon!

Replit Agent—coming out of early access today—is the best way to go from an idea to a deployed app. Afterward, you'd want to iterate on features and fixes quickly. Enter Assistant—prompt to change at the speed of thought!

A clip from an old VHS of Oliver Sacks (wearing a flags of the world hat). “One shouldn’t be an anonymous person, an anonymous non-person, one of a thousand non-people in a skyscraper… We’ll all perish and take the planet with us. Human scale is the thing which will save us.”

in retrospect it's pretty fucked up that you can just say to people "hey you know that hole at the center of your being" and they'll just be like "oh yeah the hole, i know exactly what you mean, love that hole, one of my favorite holes"

So there's a great Thai restaurant in my neighborhood called Kiin. Yesterday, I searched for their website to order some takeout. Here's the Google result.

mdma can be a tuning fork to give your system a reference for the feeling tone of "I'm ok, you're ok, we're ok"

Spent the morning reading bout how Intuit is almost single-handedly the reason filing taxes in America is such a pain Rage inducing that a single 40 year old company can have such a big impact Also, they spend ~$3M a year lobbying - how is buying the government so cheap?

The truth is finally getting out there. "More than 700,000 cases of child asthma in the EU in the past year were linked to cooking on gas at home". That's 7% of all asthma cases in children. Things are even worse in the US, 1/2 buff.ly/3ZodNTP

If you let any story cut through all the Twitter noise today, please let it be this: At least six local news websites across Alabama and Florida have been secretly taking payments from power companies to run stories attacking clean energy + other policies npr.org/2022/12/19/114375312…
