Now

Inspired by /now.


That Effect UI exploration grew into a real project: I’m building Weft (GitHub), a UI library where the reactive layer is Effect — components are plain functions, state flows through streams, and the DOM renderer (with SSR and hydration) is built on Effect’s concurrency and resource management. No virtual DOM, no JSX.


Just shipped a terminal version of my website. Built with @bun.sh and @effect-ts.bsky.social, transformed via Bun’s HTMLRewriter and a custom html-to-ANSI renderer. The web, but for your terminal. Check stefvanwijchen.com or, of course: $ curl ansi.stefvanwijchen.com


Just published a new piece on how European tech compares so its cultural counterparts; the USA and China. What do each of the three tech centers of the world do differently in regards to consumer apps and AI? And what can we learn from the European model? stefvanwijchen.com/what-europe-...

Hacking with Effect, specifically exploring how to build reactive, declarative UI with it.
