Letter to the MMS people-for feedback (more in comments)
Hey y’all, writing with my UpTrust hat on— Thank you for being our first guinea pigs! The data and feedback was helpful—highlighting things we hadn’t seen or thought of, catching bugs, validating and translating ideas, and generally seeing through your eyes. Thank you.... Dogfood noticings jan 29
Team has improved a bunch of stuff already, nice work! (such as all the inbox stuff i mentioned in last week’s @dogfood noticings) I really like the new front page in the middle, I know it’s not our priority but these small UI things make a big difference for me I want to be...

Hacker News discussion GitHub mirror of source code I mentioned this to a couple of you recently. I incorrectly believed that the source code release was recent. It actually happened 11 years ago! Reading through the code, I was surprised by how "modern" Pascal seemed.... I think we can have it all. If we capture our various patterns and abstractions for the frontend in Haskell code, we can hide Tailwind from our frontend developers almost completely while making sure that our styles are consistent across our UI components....
