Tis but a scratch
It’s Fri-YAY.
FlowVision — Waterfall-style image viewer for macOS
Open-source macOS image browser with a Pinterest-style waterfall layout. Think gqview but native and modern — browse huge folders of images with smooth scrolling, light/dark mode, and no fuss. The kind of simple tool that should’ve shipped with the OS.

Project Genie — Google DeepMind’s infinite interactive worlds
Google’s rolling out Project Genie to AI Ultra subscribers — a research prototype where you describe or sketch a world and then actually walk around inside it. Powered by Genie 3, their general-purpose world model that generates the environment in real time as you move, simulating physics and interactions on the fly. Not a static 3D snapshot — it’s building the path ahead as you go. Still experimental (world realism and character control are rough), but the direction is wild. Create, explore, remix.

Agentation — Point at problems, not code
A dev tool that lets you annotate elements on your running webpage and generate structured feedback for AI coding agents. Click an element, write your note, copy the markdown output — it captures class names, selectors, and positions so Claude Code or Cursor can actually find what you’re talking about. No more “the blue button in the sidebar” guesswork. Agent-agnostic, zero deps beyond React. Born from a post by Benji Taylor about giving better feedback to coding agents.
exe.dev — Persistent VMs via SSH
Dead simple concept: ssh exe.dev and you get a persistent VM with sudo. The disk sticks around between sessions. No setup, no config, no dashboard — just SSH in and go. The kind of dev tool that feels obvious in hindsight.
Beam — The browser iPad deserves
A new iPad browser that’s actually trying to take the platform seriously. Safari on iPad has always felt like an afterthought — Beam looks like it’s rethinking what a browser should be when you’ve got a big touchscreen and no mouse. About time someone did.
Today’s vibes
Jesse Bru’s lo-fi funk — grimy, textured, the kind of thing that sounds like it was recorded on a four-track in a room that smells like incense and old vinyl.
Mac DeMarco at his most introspective. That synth line is pure late-night nostalgia — sounds like staring at your reflection in a dark window and actually liking what you see for once.
