It was actually implemented the same year as that announcement

It was Chrome mobile only afaik. And yeah it was also silently killed.

I guess the author didn't follow Google enough.

Chrome mobile used to have a native RSS Following feature since 2021.

It seems they killed it in 2025, maybe to make space for the AI button.

One term for these is "home-cooked" software.

"Home" as in "phoning home"? Because Claude Code sure isn't local, privacy-respecting software.

No, but you can (and should) use VC-funded AIs to create local privacy-respecting software that will keep working when the bubble bursts.

Nothing as heavy as the above but here's my small anecdote:

I was putting off security updates on my npm dependencies in my personal project because it's a pain to migrate if the upgrade isn't trivial. It's not a critical website, but I run npm scripts locally, and dependabot is telling me things.

I told Claude Code to make a migration plan to upgrade my deps. It updated code for breaking changes (there were API changes, not all fixes are minor version upgrades) and replaced abandoned unmaintained packages with newer ones or built-in Node APIs. It was all done in an hour. I even got unit tests out of it to test for regressions.

In this case, I was able to skip the boring task of maintaining code and applying routine updates and focus on the fun feature stuff.

Yep. I was looking for a tiling/scrolling window manager for MacOS. Setting it up, learning the configs, reading github issues, learning the key bindings take time. Then I gave up and it was done in 2 days with Claude Code to my preferences. No intention to polish up and publish this tool.

In video games or graphics, dithering can be an alternative to transparency. It's more performant too. I see this a lot in handheld consoles.

As screen resolution and density increases, dithering could even replace transparency as long as you don't look close enough.

I think it's pointing to a version of the repo, so npm installs the package.json of that version of the repo.

Object property access i guess. Like

myObj["myProperty"]

If it's a function then it could be invoked,

myObj["myProperty"]()

If the key was a symbol,

myObj[theSymbol]()

pretty sure they were asking about the dynamic property name, { [thing]: ... }
