rothific··on Ghostty compiled to WASM with xterm.js API compatibility
I got ghostty-web working with this and it is great. Unfortunately it seems I don't have enough karma to post a link to it. But it's ink-web on npm if you're interested!

The nice thing about this is that you do not need an OS / backend of any kind - everything runs in the browser - similar to webcontainers but without even needing a container.

Yep! It does

This is super cool! I'm close to releasing a project to make Ink work in the browser for building cross-platform terminal apps. (Ink is what Claude Code / Gemeni CLI use for rendering.)

Currently it uses Xterm.js - but I'll have to try swapping Xterm out for ghostty-web!

rothific··on Am I stupid to start web design agency in 2024
Right now is a very hard time to start an agency. I agree about AI not replacing design yet. However, the demand is at a very low point relative to the high supply of agencies. The main thing that matters is how you are going to find clients. If you already have potential clients lining up to pay you, maybe it makes sense. Agency clients generally choose who to work with based on trust and word of mouth referrals. This is especially true for design which does not have any licensing as a quality gate keeping device. Instead, there are just many more agencies than there are demand for because of the ease of starting them, so clients generally go with who they know.

Another thing is that there are marketplaces like Clutch, Behance, Dribbble, Upwork, etc, but they are a race to the bottom with price. If you live in a very low cost of living country, that might be ok. For anyone in the US, it's not ok.

Feel free to reach out if you want more thoughts on this as I am actively researching this topic for a book and ran an agency for awhile. forchrisroth@gmail.com
