I'm in the "it's time to start drafting some blog posts" phase of the next big @hypertexting.com release. Which means it's time to record some screen captures and edit some video.

@exe.dev launched Pools today:

A pool is a collection of VMs that share a set of resources. Before pools, a VM’s resources came directly from your plan. You could scale VMs independently, but you couldn’t define a production or staging stack with its own resources in its own region.

Pools also give you predictable pricing. We don’t want to send you a surprise invoice because one VM had a burst of traffic.

I love what these folks have been building. A cloud provider with predictable pricing? Yes please!

Rootfiles in Frontier, a new collection starts with docserver.root, the code and content for docserver.userland.com. Claude also wrote a Node app that extracts all the data from a root file.

🔗 Substack Changed. Most Creators Haven’t Noticed Yet.

In January 2026, Substack launched Substack TV, an app for Apple TV and Google TV, so people can watch creator videos and livestreams on their actual television.

New news - at least to this bear.

🔗 The opposite of mass

The opposite of mass is special.

Good reminder. App development at PHI⑊PIN keeps getting distracted with ‘mass’ - but ‘special’ is what we are trying to do.

👁️ I mused on muse this morning - and no thanks. Unlike the rest of the world - I do have a memory so I don’t care what he and his acolytes say … I care about what they do - and they don’t do good things.

Karpe - 📼🎵🔗 this from 2022 - in Norway have been around for twenty years apparently. Love it.

Some of the choreography reminds me of Peter Gabriel - 📼🎵🔗 specifically this, though there are many others from different tours.

Life is a remix - and I love it.

I did not know that Jim had ‘Barksdales’:

One of the Barksdaleisms that I always liked: “If we have data, let’s look at data. If all we have are opinions, let’s go with mine."

The Weirdest Game I’ve Ever Made

Broken Files is now available (for free)! This game is a series of personal firsts. It has voice acting. It has a character, and she does dialog to you. It seems like the sort of thing that would feel at home on itch.io, so it’s there too. And it contains no code, so it runs on everything – in fact, it doesn’t run at all.

This is so cool! It’s an ARG-style puzzle where you have to edit hex codes using clues in a .zip you download from her site. I know that might sound a little sketchy, but she’s the dev behind the ad blocker I use, Wipr 2, and she also uploaded the game to itch.io, so I trust it. I won’t spoil anything, but I will say I made it to the shrine and learned a bit about hex editing in the process.

Worth noting: it’s not an impossibly complicated Cicada 3301 level ARG, so don’t overthink it!

Currently in this very friction @work - I had no idea publishing an app to apps tores was such a pain in the B

Going to go back to finish this work!
