Tangent #2 — Tangent

Welcome to Tangent issue 2.

This week, VoidZero aquired by Cloudflare, liquid DOM (again), ShadCN for backend and Deepseek going after Claude Code. Lets go.

💻 Tech News

VoidZero aquired by Cloudflare — I called it! Cloudflare acquiring VoidZero was una-VOID-able. Building a new framework with tight coupling against Cloudflare infra has made this a match made in heaven. Evan You just keep on winning, really excited to see how this plays out. I just see this as being a massive net-win for the whole web-dev ecosystem

Liquid DOM — Andrew Prifer rebuilt Apple’s Liquid Glass design language for the web, but wait, Jhey already did this a year ago!? So who wore it better?

Hyper — Image ShadCN but for the your backend. that exactly what Hyper is. An API framework for Bun that ditches npm entirely, it copies TypeScript source directly into your repo under src/hyper/. One route definition spits out runtime, OpenAPI, typed RPC client, and an MCP server. With the number of supply chain attacks on the rise, maybe this is not a terrible idea…

DeepSeek Makes 75% Price Cut on V4 Pro Permanent — DeepSeek makes its 75% price cut on V4 Pro permanent — In: $0.435/M, Out: $0.87/M. That’s ~1/35 the price of GPT-5.5. Either Huawei Ascend chips are that cheap or DeepSeek’s inference optimization is genuinely next-level. Then coming in the with one-two, they also dropped Reasonix a native coding agent built on DeepSeek. Chinse Claude Code is here and its looking dangerous for Anthropic.

👀 Things That Caught My Eye

Resident Evil Veronica — Dropped out of nowhere! Capcom just cant stop cooking. This is day one for me. I’ve playing Reqiuems, Leon Must Die Forever mode non-stop. I cant get enough Resident Evil right now so I am Hyped for this!

Thats the issue for this week. Catch you in the next one!
