1,756 UI Cases: 76–79% Lower Frame Intervals, 56% Less JS Heap

App Canvas v0.11.0 cuts measured pan/zoom p95 frame intervals by 76–79% across Chromium and WebKit, while preserving Demo/Play, flow links and retained state.

App Canvas: From Safari Crashes to a Working iPhone Demo

How a 77-state real-UI canvas went from repeated iPhone Safari reloads to a usable phone demo. Rendering changes preserved the UI; a separate follow-up benchmark tested the remaining headroom.

App Canvas: Your Whole UI, Built from Real Code

See real screens, states and interactive flows together. An open-source canvas your coding agent can add to an existing repo, with one UI implementation to maintain.

A Small Result Set Can Hide a Huge Query

Two PostgreSQL investigations show how small batches and zero-row inserts hide repeated work—and how to prove an improvement without claiming optimality.

How I Made Apple Notes Change Detection 60× Faster

A local Apple Notes sync dropped from 49 seconds to 825ms by replacing N+1 Apple Events with vectorized JXA. Benchmarks against AppleScript, SQLite, file stats, and hashing show why the fastest query was not the best design.

Why Cargo Ate 45GB Overnight (And How I Fixed It)

Rust's incremental compilation cache never garbage collects. With multiple AI agent sessions running cargo across git worktrees, target/ ballooned to 45GB. Here's the root cause analysis, the empirical fixes, and what I rejected after adversarial auditing.

llama.cpp vs MLX/oMLX: Architecture Benchmark on Apple Silicon

Head-to-head benchmark of llama.cpp vs Apple MLX for local LLM inference on M5 Max. Architecture comparison showing why fewer layers = faster inference — llama.cpp is 21-59% faster across all payload sizes.
