TIL at our weekly company demos today:
1. My CTO was the creator of then mac shareware game Asterax
2. He ported it to the web using Codex this week: http://asterax.fun/
I cannot tell you how much time I spent on this game as a kid.
Wishing I had a Lin-Manuel-Miranda-signal right now, because we need an emergency Hamilton performance in Minneapolis right now.
What a great title.

@gruber you changed my life by posting about Lolgato.
Although I'm a liiiiiiiiiittle butt hurt that you've been living the good life for 3 months while the rest of us were stuck in the hellscape that is Elgato's mac app. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2026/01/23/lolgato-1-7
She was the best of us.
I’m grateful someone took the time to write about Melissa’s life, not the moment that ended it. She was amazing and did so much for so many.
Worth your time:

In case you weren't already awake, the alarm's ringing.
What if the iPhone Air is an investment in pushing the iPhone down market?
Like in the iPad line, the Air could come down in price over time to occupy the spot of the current iPhone, which then pushes the iPhone down to the “e” line.
I know, unlikely, but maybe?
This. This. This. This. This.
If there were ever a time to fight, let me tell you, it’s right fucking now.

What a beautiful article. https://kieranhealy.org/blog/archives/2025/06/28/american/
“That built in to the heart of the United States is the republican ideal not just that anyone can become an American, but that this possibility is what makes the country what it is.”
I have to admit to refreshing Daring Fireball all day waiting on @gruber to say something about what is surely the crowning achievement of the web: https://aresluna.org/frame-of-preference/
This is just incredibly delightful.
Super interesting to play with @ianbicking's game https://www.playintra.win/
A couple of LOLs in the first few minutes too:
"The news is on in the background as you fall asleep... "Decision 2038: Malia Obama vs. Dwayne Johnson—The Future of America.""
I mean, I appreciate the optimism that America still exists!
Well, this is great.
I'm down with Liquid Glass.
Sure, it needs a lot of tweaking, but it’s mostly fine. And it's just an incredible amount of fun.
BUT the sidebar is a train wreck.
The entire concept is wrong from the start: the sidebar is secondary, supporting content.
Bringing it to the foreground flips that in ways that are at best distracting and, at worst, confusing.
