Opus 4.7 is available across Claude products and its API, with a token cost of $5 per million input tokens and $25 per million output tokens.

"It would be really hard without this space to make good products, if not impossible," Axelsson says.

The query_one() method throughout the Textual documentation allows users to retrieve a single widget that matches a CSS selector or a widget type. You can pass in up to two parameters to query_one(), which are the CSS selector and the widget type, or both at the same time.

I was always a tinkerer, I guess. I grew up in the age where computers were not ubiquitous or common. An experience as a kid was instrumental in how my career happened.

Voice interaction with Claude Code significantly enhances the user experience by allowing for faster input. Speaking is often 2-3 times quicker than typing, which can streamline the process of giving commands.

Modern web applications are no longer just "sites." They are long-lived, highly interactive systems that span multiple runtimes, global content delivery networks, edge caches, background workers, and increasingly complex data pipelines. They are expected to load instantly, remain responsive under poor network conditions, and degrade gracefully when something goes wrong.

The web is full of AI assistants that appear to understand application UIs, user data, and intent. In practice, however, most of these systems operate outside the application itself. When you try to build one from scratch, you quickly run into a core limitation: large language models have no native understanding of your React state, component hierarchy, or business logic.

During my eight years working in agile product development, I have watched sprints move quickly while real understanding of user problems lagged. Backlogs fill with paraphrased feedback. Interview notes sit in shared folders collecting dust. Teams make decisions based on partial memories of what users actually said. Even when the code is clean, those habits slow delivery and make it harder to build software that genuinely helps people.
