By Takeshi Yokoyama — Onecarat Labs Hi. I'm Yokoyama, and I build a local-first AI text editor as a side project, along with a few other experimental tools. Working on them, I keep running into the same question about where the web is going. This post is one observation, plus a small experiment I built to test it — including a Chrome extension you can actually try. The short version: I think websites will increasingly be read through AI agents, reshaped per reader, on the fly. And once that happens, there's a clear gap between sites that are easy for an AI to read and sites that aren't. What's starting to happen Until now, people read websites as websites. You open the top page, follow the menu, read the body, click a button — tracing the path the maker designed. As local AI and AI agents become normal, that breaks. People stop opening the page directly. They tell an AI what they want — "Can I try this quickly?" , "I just want to check it's safe" , "Just the gist" — and the AI reads the web and reshapes it into the form that reader wants. What the reader receives is no longer the layout the maker built. This isn't speculation. The idea that AI generates the interface for the reader already has a name — Generative UI — and it's one of the hottest areas in frontend right now, with Google, Vercel and others building toward it. But notice who's holding the pen in almost every version of that story: the site , or an AI embedded in an app — something under the maker's control. What I'm looking at is one step past that: a local AI, in the reader's own hands, reshaping any site into that person's preferred form — with no involvement from the maker at all. The initiative moves from the maker to the reader. The part that nags at me as a builder I build software too. So this shift nags at me. A site carries its maker's intent and rights. The order things appear in, what gets emphasized, the tone. Design, copy, flow — all of it is deliberate. Having an AI quietly reorder, rewri

A walkthrough of the architecture decisions behind Flacron Gamezone a production full-stack app built with Next.js, Express, PostgreSQL, and Redis. When a client approached me to build a live football match discovery platform, the requirements sounded straightforward on the surface: show live scores, let users subscribe, handle authentication. But the moment you start thinking about how those pieces connect in production, straightforward gets complicated fast. This is the story of how I designed the backend for Flacron Gamezone — what decisions I made, why I made them, and what broke along the way. Table of Contents The Problem With "Just Building It" The Architecture: Four Distinct Layers Why This Matters to a Client The Bug That Taught Me Something Real The Full Stack at a Glance What I'd Do Differently The Problem With "Just Building It" The easiest version of this app is a single Express file: one route handler that queries the database, formats the data, and sends a response. I've seen this pattern in tutorials everywhere. It works for demos. It falls apart in production. The problems are predictable: you can't test business logic without hitting the database, a change in one feature quietly breaks another, and the moment a second developer joins the codebase, nobody knows where anything lives. I wanted to build something I could actually be proud to show an employer or a client. That meant committing to a proper layered architecture from day one, even on a project this size. The Architecture: Four Distinct Layers The entire Express backend is organized into four layers. Each layer has one job and talks only to the layer directly below it. Route → Controller → Service → Repository Here's what each one actually does. Routes are just maps. They declare that POST /api/v1/subscriptions exists, attach the auth middleware, and hand off to the controller. No logic lives here. Controllers handle the HTTP boundary. They extract data from req.body or req.params , call th

Hey! I'm a CS student and I got tired of not being able to compare MLX inference engines properly — every benchmark out there is either made by the engine's own developers, runs on an M3 Ultra nobody has, or just shows tok/s with zero context. So I built mlx-Chronos — a small open source CLI tool that runs a standardized benchmark protocol on your Mac and lets you submit your results to a shared community leaderboard. What it measures: Cold and cached TTFT (Time to First Token), with a proper methodology — unique prompts per trial, cache priming, no interleaved phases Throughput (tok/s), with mean/stddev/min/max across repeated trials Engine process RSS and system RAM peak, sampled continuously during inference Thermal state and hardware info Supported engines: oMLX, Rapid-MLX, mlx-lm, Ollama (MLX backend) The leaderboard is basically empty right now since I only have an M2 8GB. Would love results from M3 Max, M4, M4 Ultra, or anything with more RAM — that's where things get actually interesting. → Leaderboard: https://igurss.github.io/mlx-chronos → GitHub: https://github.com/igurss/mlx-chronos → Install: pip install mlx-chronos It's early, the methodology is documented (there's a methodology.md if you want to pick it apart), and I'm 100% open to feedback, contributions, and getting told what I'm doing wrong. The goal is just to have one place where you can compare engines on your specific hardware instead of trusting someone else's numbers. submitted by /u/igor__004 [link] [留言]

I've recently been getting reacquainted with frontend dev after having spent the last few years focusing mostly on design. I plan to do a combination of both again from now on. The last full-time job I was at we used drag-and-drop website builders that seem to be all the rage these days. I gotta say it was a truly painful experience. The websites we would handover would be a complete mess, clients would have to edit columns, widgets, layouts themselves which just felt like a recipe for disaster. We would often have to duplicate various widgets such as image sliders, one of mobile and one for desktop. I'd then have to explain to clients that they needed to update them twice, with the same content. Also, a lot of times I'd have to set up HTML widgets because of how limited the software was, so I'd also have to explain to clients that they'd sometimes need to edit actual code when simply updating content on their site. But the concerning thing is, I've had a number of other job interviews at marketing agencies lately and it seems like EVERYONE is doing the same thing. I also sometimes hear on podcasts people describing default WordPress as being 'old fashioned', as though the future of web dev is just doing everything with these hideous website builders WTF 🤮 Are these people mainly just taking the basic / shitty web dev projects while leaving the proper ones to those who know how to do it properly? or have a lot of developers lost out on work because of these? submitted by /u/Weekly_Frosting_5868 [link] [留言]

Let’s kick off June — and the beginning of summer — with some fresh inspiration! Artists and designers from across the globe once again tickled their creativity to welcome the new month with a new collection of desktop wallpapers. Enjoy!
