Explained projects
cnfast: The Tiny Tailwind Helper That Turns String Merging Into Identity Caching
A drop-in `cn` replacement that keeps Tailwind output byte-identical while leaning on V8 behavior, stable template objects, and zero-cost hot paths to make repeated renders cheaper.
preview-rpc Is What Happens When Boilerplate Learns to Get Out of the Way
Aiden Bai's TypeScript starter makes the local preview feel like an installed package, then ships the same code through a strict, minimal build pipeline.
react-bench: React Bench: The Benchmark That Tests Whether AI Can Find the Right React File
Aiden Ybai built a deliberately cursed Next.js app to measure source-file retrieval, not code generation. The result is a benchmark for the browser era of AI coding.
aidenybai/home: The personal infrastructure repo that turns a house into software
A bespoke home setup built for one maintainer, one environment, and one opinionated automation loop.
Ghast: The terminal that files your tabs by directory
A macOS multiplexer built on Ghostty that turns the filesystem into a living workspace map, then layers native SwiftUI tooling on top.
stickies: The DOM Utility That Refuses to Lose Its Target
Aiden Bai’s library treats anchors as identities it can re-find, not nodes it can trust forever.
react-grab: The Missing Link Between a Running App and an AI Agent
Hover a UI element, press copy, and hand your coding agent the exact source context it needs to edit with surgical precision.
public-transit: The Relay That Starts Itself
A TypeScript bridge for local agents that streams output to the browser, auto-hosts on demand, and treats abort, undo, and redo as core behavior.
nextjs-shadcn-netlify-test: A Next.js boilerplate that treats hydration like a hostile environment
Nine shadcn theme files, a defensive body wrapper, and Netlify config tuned to make Next.js 15 behave.
solid-rules: the markdown file that keeps AI from writing React in Solid
Aiden Bai turns SolidJS's sharpest footguns into AGENTS.md guardrails, revealing a new kind of infrastructure: documentation written for code-generating agents, not humans.
element-source: The Library That Turns a DOM Node Into a Source File
element-source maps live elements back to the code that rendered them across React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, and Preact.
`fetch-limit`: The Smallest Possible Library With the Biggest Performance Question
Aiden Bai’s outbound-request throttle is still just a promise on GitHub, which makes the interesting part not the code, but the design pressure behind it.
landing-desing-exp: landing-design-exp: the landing page as a choreographed system
Aiden Bai’s experiment treats motion, layout, and scroll activation as coordination, not decoration.
Inside aidenybai/website-2025: The Personal Site That Runs a Sidecar Bundle
A tiny API route and a polling loader turn a plain Next.js site into a live host for an external script.
coding-agents-arena turns code generation into a cross-examination
A Python framework where one agent proposes, another attacks, and the sandbox decides which code survives.
react-scan: React Scan and the Art of Invisible Instrumentation
How a high-performance "ghost" layer hijacks the React Fiber tree to make internal slowness impossible to ignore.
Million.js: The O(1) Heist of the Virtual DOM
How a build-time compiler turns React's biggest weakness into a static-speed advantage without a single rewrite.
