Video idea: “An Open Letter To ”
I have a handful of frustrations that I feel need more attention.
Should I do it? What should I cover?

may have some ideas I remember him mentioning a few things in some places
GitHub could really do with some base level fixes before they add the fancy stuff

Oh god don't get me started. There's a bug right now with tooltips that makes me want to throw my laptop into the sea

predictably enough it's not happening right now! possibly fixed, will send a screen rec if i see it again. basically, tooltips were never dismissed on mouseleave, so if one was obscuring the thing you needed to click, you'd need to hover something else to move the tooltip there

things like this are minor in isolation but add up to a frustrating experience. i ranted about it a little here: youtube.com/watch?v=860d8u all this stuff feels like an inevitable consequence of what i understand to be github's FE architecture, i.e. turbolinks & sprinkles
it's instructive to compare the experience of e.g. navigating around a repo in github vs using the new code tab on npm (twitter.com/Rich_Harris/st). i salivate imagining github rebuilt with modern web tech! (and i hope you know this all comes from a place of love)

TIL npmjs.com now lets you explore the content of packages — npmjs.com/package/@svelt — and they've done a really nice job of it. i used to use unpkg.com a lot for this, but having it built in to npm is super convenient
