Looks brilliant, well done! How about oRPC instead? And mikro-orm

document.elementFromPoint to get the elem at co-ordinates, then use npm package similar to optimal-select to come up with a unique css selector.

Congratulations on the launch, this looks really nice.

I feel quite locked-in to Shadcn components now, especially after I found tweakcn.com.

Is there anything similar for untitled ui in the pipeline? A way to update the css variables and preview it across different components/layouts.

There are browser extensions you could run like consent-o-matic to try to click and hide the cookies from your screenshots:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/consent-o-matic/mdj...

Otherwise using a combination of well-known class names, ‘accept’ strings, and heuristics such as z-index, position: fixed/sticky etc can also narrow down the number of likely elements that could be modals/banners.

You could also ask a vision model whether a screenshot has a cookie banner, and ask for co-ordinates to remove it, although this could get expensive at scale!

nice post :)

I’m surprised there’s not been any mention of effect (http://effect.website/) yet, as it is kind of the next level up if you really want to model things like errors, dependencies and side effects in the type system, using functional concepts borrowed from more pure functional languages.

It would be a bit of a risk adopting this into a shared code base depending on your team and the kinds of devs you’re looking to hire, but it could be useful to some folk that feel like they want even more type safety.

I'd say adonisjs[1] is the closest thing in TS land to rails. There's also sailsjs[2].

Neither are as trendy as nextjs/sveltekit etc, but those are not really comparable to rails.

No - we don't currently support this feature as nobody has asked for it so far :)

You could append a new meta tag by running some custom JS to add it, but we don't modify exif, metadata or pdf description at the moment.
