you can also customize the hotkey if you need

btw for anyone working with polaris you can snapshot their examples into @paper make sure to enable "allow access to embedded frames" first though

latest version of @paper ships with a new way of connecting to its local mcp server, it's easier, more robust, and remains fast af

you can just bake things

😭

stuck on viem, cheeky @_jxom

hey grok bot build me some ui in paper

btw you can access iframes through @paper snapshot by pressing this action in its context menu super helpful for all kinds of things 🔥🔥

it's true lmaoo 🔥🔥

love webmcp

who put this in my .zshrc, because i definitely didn't ask for it @cursor_ai smh

btw you can pull transparent webm out of @paper now

react portals that retain browser state with element.moveBefore

spiky buns

@JNYBGR remotion!

xstyle prop is props

> Figma image fills require Paper's browser extension connected to a Figma account that can open the source file. Without it the paste succeeds but the images are missing. not quite. you just need to paste and then connect to figma when this dialog shows up. will open the oauth flow and then when you get back in images will start resolving (figma api limits apply)

tbh I find the types github.com/atlassian-labs/co… exposes via createStrictAPI is still the goat styles are local and typed, nothing to teach agents where things live. you define types per style property / pseudo states. you define style boundaries per component. only allowed properties pass typecheck. here I set up astryx tokens with it, works a treat

cool! fyi you can also just paste html via text, e.g: if I type this and copy it into paper <div style="color:red;font-size:19px;">hello ethan!!!</div> it also works

oui oui

fyi you can generate images through @paper mcp now, ask your agent

love this screen

oh no, we're entering the click bait era of llms

haha the timeline giveth and the timeline taketh away

what, he follows me as well! john fan club

piped.video/watch?v=p-i9o-sH… fun video. over the years i've gravitated towards "strip modelling" where it's like, extruding edges to flesh out your 3d if I had infinite time I'd be 3d modelling, making games, and working on editors. if only!

hell yeah boys we in it

yearly reminder for frontend folks — enable show scroll bars. you'll make your own software more resilient as well as find jank in others macos system settings > appearance > show scrollbars: always e.g. here's githubs new issue view collapsed sidebar

here's an example where a menu would benefit greatly from the triangle treatment, h/t mayank.co/blog/hover-triangl… I want to click learn more, it's not natural to move left then down

I've been enjoying these, you should scroll to the top of the dialog when going to the next note

new mac, first extension I enable

for paper people: I'm looking at reducing the friction when working with paper mcp + agent harnesses right now (e.g. ever get paper mcp not found when starting your agent harness before paper? yeah that!) looking for thoughts: if when setting up the mcp server inside paper you had to enter admin privileges, something like the attached, would that feel scary / odd / bad / ...? or would you be okay that? doubly interested in folks that are in an enterprise setting!

there's an improvement shipping soon that will show the "click me to focus" overlay so you don't get stuck thanks for the report again!

i'm in this tweet and i like it

drag to reorder tabs is coming to @paper desktop soon. here's some tips if you were to implement this yourself 🧑‍🍳 ⏲️ drag & drop isn't needed for the initial paint, so it shouldn't be on the critical path. this includes both executing code, and downloading the bundle! ⚛️ view bindings (like for react) are a footgun. apply the drag and drop in an effect (or equivalent) with vanilla apis which ensures it's off the critical path. 👪 personal preference, but don't make dnd behaviour bleed throughout your components. similar to layout, the parent component dictates the logic / loading orchestration. enable behaviour through child refs in the parent! ✨ have fun! dial it in for how it feels to drag & drop. I gave extra care to bring some physicality like having drops take longer the further away from the drop target they were (and shorter when closer!).

🤔

we were invited to the gh stacks beta! so far the two main commands ontop of regular git I'm actively using is gh stack sync + gh stack submit. I'm glad sync exists, streamlines pretty much everything

spaces or tabs?

what chasing loading perfection does to a mf — we're almost there

it's true

paper + webmcp

image gen through paper mcp

shipping this instead

go check "Allow access to file URLs" in the extension settings. I'll update docs tomorrow.
