Reviews of the most interesting devtools and latest beta releases.
Here's the latest newsletter sent on 2026-04-23.
Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.
Write HTML. Render video.
Compositions are HTML using data attributes rather than React, so it doesn’t require a build step or bundler. Supports seekable, frame-accurate animations. Easy to preview in the browser. Export to MP4. Includes AI agent skills or start manually.
Preview does the rendering work in real time so it can cause stuttering with large compositions that doesn’t happen once rendered.
Distributed version control.
Independent changes can be applied in any order without changing the result - much simpler than rebase. Conflicts are expected and considered a first-class state that can be resolved, then never come back. Changes are stored as patches which model an atomic unit of work rather than a snapshot or version.
Development seems sporadic, although it is seemingly active.
