  • Simon Willison released web-edit 0.1a2, an update to his small web app designed for browsing and editing files within a folder.
  • The primary new feature in this release is a “copy to clipboard” option, which supports both text and image data.
  • This feature was motivated by the need to easily copy logs, specifically from pelican prompts (mentioning DeepSeek 4.1 Flash 1017 outputs), from a laptop to a Gist, particularly when interacting with the laptop remotely via Tailscale from a phone.
