Developer builds a 12-axis political quiz with Vite, TanStack Start and Cloudflare Workers

·4 views

A developer describes creating The 12 Axes, a free political quiz that scores users on twelve independent axes rather than a single left-right line. The quiz is offered in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and its statements and scoring model come from an open-source MIT-licensed project. The site is built with Vite, TanStack Start and Router, and served from the edge via Cloudflare Workers, with no database because results are encoded in shareable URLs. Ideologies and historical figures are matched to results using root-mean-square distance, with unknown axes penalised to avoid unfairly favouring figures with fewer known positions. Progress and answers are stored in the browser's localStorage, so no accounts are required.

Why AI Zombie Love Story Videos Are Spreading Fast on Social Media

A viral autumn 2026 format, the zombie love story, shows a partner turned into a zombie while the other chooses to embrace them anyway. The trend took off after filmmaker Aytech Ashkhamakhov posted the short AI film "CHOICE" on Instagram in mid-September 2026, and many viewers initially mistook it for a real movie scene. Its shareability comes from a fixed three-beat structure with personalized faces, an emotional rather than gory tone, and a built-in tag-your-partner loop. A DEV Community write-up explains that typical photo-to-video pipelines detect and validate faces, transform one identity into a zombie while preserving recognizable features, and animate per-scene keyframes before stitching segments and adding audio. The article argues that template-driven tools with strong narrative structure tend to outperform open-ended prompt interfaces for mainstream users.

Agencies Face Outage Liability When Clients Pay Vendors Directly

Agencies are increasingly managing websites and digital assets whose vendor bills are paid directly by clients on their own cards. When those payments fail, the service can lapse even though the agency had no control over billing. Clients often choose this split-billed setup to satisfy procurement rules, avoid ownership concerns, or keep invoices in their own legal entity. Vendors typically limit third-party access so that managers can administer assets but cannot update payment methods. As a result, agencies may still bear the blame, reputational damage, and emergency work when an outage occurs.

Claude Code Shipped Nine Releases in Eight Days, Outpacing Third-Party Interfaces

Claude Code published nine versions between October 1 and October 8, 2026, according to the npm registry, with further releases on October 9 and 14. OpenAI's Codex CLI also shipped four stable releases in five days during the same period. The article notes that new interface features, such as keyboard shortcuts, pickers and terminal status signals, appear in the vendors' own terminals on the day they ship. Tools that re-render these agents through scraped output or the SDK must redesign their screens to match, so they tend to trail the official releases. The author argues that this lag is structural rather than a one-off problem.
