Still feels a little surreal that Mini Piano was selected as one of seven finalists in the first ever @glazeapp Awards, out of more than 500 submissions. 🏆🎹
It started as a small idea: turn your Mac keyboard into a piano with nothing to set up.
A huge thank you to the @glazeapp team, @AnthropicAI for sponsoring, the jury (@thomaspaulmann , @CaseyNewton , @aaron_epstein , @nateparrott, and @zehf ), and everyone who downloaded the app, shared feedback, or supported my work. It truly means a lot ❤️

💡 Universal syntax highlighter. In a <textarea>
In 2026 (Chrome 152+), you can syntax-highlight different programming languages within the same <textarea> and get decent results
Using the 🆕 OpaqueRange web API
Works for <textarea>, even <input>
Demo: gpu-lexer-textarea.netlify.a…
I trained a small model to do syntax highlighting in the browser with GPU.
Meet gpu-lexer from Vercel Labs: Small (27.5KB), fast (runs on WebGPU), and language-agnostic (model guesses the syntax).
gpu-lexer.vercel.app
It is experimental and built for learning!

We are open sourcing `cn`, a new engine for Tailwind class merging and conflict resolution. It is a drop-in replacement for tailwind-merge and clsx.
It works with all frameworks, runs everywhere and is 30x faster.

Depth-aware light injection in TypeGPU
I got a 448x448 monocular depth model down to ~8 ms on my M4 Pro across ~250 dispatches, which is fast enough to use in realtime :D
Since the inference is written directly in TypeGPU, I can just feed the depth buffer straight into the lighting pass. It never has to leave the GPU or go through any extra synchronization/interop step
Inference, lighting and draw all go through the same command encoder.
