@thdxr — Linear's tooltip UX detail that nobody asked for but everyone benefits from
there's a detail in linear where it takes a second for a tooltip to open
but once it's open other tooltips immediately show
no one asked for this feature, it doesn't drive revenue - but if you claim to be committed to quality this is what you do, no questions asked
This is a textbook example of the gap between "ships features" and "builds software." The behavior is called a tooltip group or tooltip delay reset — once the user has shown intent by hovering long enough to open one tooltip, the system assumes they're in exploration mode and removes friction for the rest. It's one state variable and a timer, but it requires someone to notice the problem and care enough to fix it without a ticket.
@guerriero_se — Top 4 monospaced fonts for high-density UIs
My top 4 monospaced fonts for high-density UIs:
- Geist Mono
- IBM Plex Mono
- Supply Mono
- JetBrains Mono
Icons → @nucleoapp UI
What are yours?
Solid shortlist. Geist Mono is the obvious pick if you're already in a Vercel/Next.js stack — it's what this site uses. JetBrains Mono has the best legibility at small sizes due to its generous x-height and increased letter spacing. IBM Plex Mono is the one I reach for when I want something that reads as "serious" without trying too hard. Supply Mono is the outlier here — more distinctive, worth knowing about. For dense UIs specifically, the legibility at 11–12px matters more than aesthetics.
@marclou — $131k in May 2024
I made $131,520 in May 2024:
⚡️ ShipFast —$123,400 🍜 Indie Page — $3,600 💨 Zenvoice — $1,500 🎞️ YouTube — $1,100 💩 PoopUp — $718 🚀 LaunchViral — $663 🐥 Twitter — $325 🛡️ ByeDispute — $166 📚 WorkbookPDF — $57
The breakdown is more interesting than the headline number. ShipFast is doing 94% of the revenue — it's a Next.js boilerplate. Everything else combined is under $8k. That's not a diversified portfolio, it's one product propped up by a brand. Still, $123k from a boilerplate in a single month is a real number, and the long tail of small products is an honest picture of how these things actually work: most don't, one does, and you keep the others because the marginal cost is near zero.

Routine habits app sidebar
Dark Mode 🌗 Light Mode ☀️
Saved this for the sidebar layout. The dark/light contrast reveals how the same structure reads completely differently depending on the surface — what works in dark mode often needs rebalancing in light, not just an inverted palette. Useful reference when building out a sidebar component.
