JavaScript tooling had its biggest month in years: → Vite 8 + Rolldown = 10-30x faster builds → VoidZero shipped the full toolchain (dev → deploy) → TypeScript 6.0 breaking defaults → Next.js 16.2 release

[UX Critic] WhatsApp privacy controls for profile pictures are outdated and clunky. Defaulting to a “block list” (selecting who can’t see your picture) is risky—if you add a new contact and forget to update the list, they’ll see it by default. This approach feels backward.

Telegram nails it with a flexible, user-first design. It lets you: 1. Share with everyone, but add exceptions for who’s blocked. 2. Share only with contacts, with options to block specific people or always allow others. 3. Hide from everyone, but allow select trusted contacts.

This covers all use cases—open sharing, selective sharing, or high privacy—without forcing users to micromanage every new contact. WhatsApp, take notes! Telegram’s had this figured out for years. #UXDesign #WhatsApp #Telegram #Privacy
