The web rewrite is working.
On a slow connection, the old X web took more than 22 seconds to show the first post on a profile. The new X web does it in 2.7 seconds. Here's how we did it, and how we're rolling it out one country at a time.

I hope this makes the process seemless and requires fewer hoops like Dunn's registration etc.
Big news! Google is enabling Android users to download safe, verified alternative app stores without the "unknown sources" warning. Store developers can enroll in the Registered App Store program starting today and the changes will go into effect on December 1st.
This is a great step in the evolution of Android as an open platform. Learn more here: developer.android.com/regist…

I remember when all we had was xampp and wamp, which meant you got php and MySQL by default. Not the case today. As devs moved to JavaScript, postgres became a default. As a recent convert to postgres, I almost forgot we even had phpmyadmin.
Fun perspective on the MySQL vs Postgres timeline.
Both are incredible databases. Combined they power nearly the entire internet.
Also somehow @simeonGriggs has become our resident database historian.

I didn't know it was that easy to deploy backend services and a database on Cloudflare and all on the free tier! using Wrangler cli for managing deployment to Workers and and D1 are goated. Cc @CloudflareDev @Cloudflare

Shared infra works great until agents hammer your app. Then, one overloaded DB can take everything down.
That's where Durable Objects come in. Split the load across as many tiny, SQLite-backed servers as you need. Learn how, plus 4 mistakes to avoid, from @AshleyPeacock.

Added a nodejs backend running on @Cloudflare Workers using D1. I also used @googlecloud Oauth to identify users for syncing to the D1 DB. A total of 2 hours. Again, using a non-frontier model Composer 2.5 on Cursor. Trivial stuff. Software is not the moat. @cursor_ai
So, with Android Studio 2026 backed by Gemini 3.5 Flash + Cursor with Composer 2.5, I was able to create a basic version of an expenses tracker in about 2 hours (1 hour was getting Android Studio to work properly) Coding is basically solved and trivial cc @cursor_ai @AndroidDev

Suggestion to add a feature to click on a long post to collapse it. Some posts are several scrolls long and one needs to quickly collapse the post. @X

I love the Mobills app for keeping track of expenses, but it's subscription is not worth it? What apps do y'all use without having to be interrupted by ads? Or should I just give code a custom app?
Can we add a watch list (history) feature on @X so that I can resume my videos? Like the way, ahem YouTube (??) does it without having to bookmark?
