David Guillot’s experiment investigates how web push notifications, when combined with Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), can offer a compelling alternative to traditional mobile apps for user engagement. By leveraging Django and packages like django-webpush and django-pwa, the article demonstrates a practical approach to implementing reliable, native-feeling notifications on both desktop and mobile-highlighting UX design considerations, technical constraints (such as iOS requiring PWA installation for notifications), and offering a live demo to gather community feedback on usability and device impact.

Julia Evans’s “Terminal Rules” catalogs seven de facto conventions that make terminal programs behave predictably, from signal handling to color and input handling. This breakdown walks through rules such as using Ctrl-C to quit noninteractive programs, Ctrl-D to exit REPLs, and disabling colors when piping output.

Claudio Santini’s primer on Unvibe reveals a Python library that treats unit-tests as a reward function, guiding LLM-driven Monte Carlo Tree Search to generate code that passes all tests. It details how Unvibe decorates functions with @ai, uses unvibe.TestCase for granular scoring, and iteratively refines implementations by feeding back assertion errors to the model.
