Code Mode: give agents an entire API in 1,000 tokens | Cloudflare Blog
Code Mode is a technique we first introduced for reducing context window usage during agent tool use. Instead of describing every operation as a separate tool, let the model write code against a typed SDK and execute the code safely in a Dynamic Worker Loader. The code acts as a compact plan. The model can explore tool operations, compose multiple calls, and return just the data it needs. Anthropic independently explored the same pattern in their Code Execution with MCP post.

fastmail/Squire: The rich text editor for arbitrary HTML.
Squire is an HTML5 rich text editor, which provides powerful cross-browser normalisation in a flexible lightweight package (only 16KB of JS after minification and gzip, with no dependencies!).
It was designed to handle email composition for the Fastmail web app. The most important consequence of this (and where Squire differs from most other modern rich text editors) is that it must handle arbitrary HTML, because it may be used to forward or quote emails from third-parties and must be able to preserve their HTML without breaking the formatting. This means that it can't use a more structured (but limited) internal data model (as most other modern HTML editors do) and the HTML remains the source-of-truth. The other consequence is excellent handling of multiple levels of blockquotes.

flagd
flagd is a feature flag evaluation engine. Think of it as a ready-made, open source, OpenFeature-compliant feature flag backend system.
With flagd, you can:
- modify flags in real-time
- define flags of various types (boolean, string, number, JSON)
- use context-sensitive rules to target specific users or user traits
- perform pseudorandom assignments for experimentation
- perform progressive roll-outs of new features
- aggregate flag definitions from multiple sources
- expose aggregated flags as a gRPC stream to be used by in-process providers
- expose OFREP service for configured flags
It doesn't include a UI, management console or a persistence layer. It's configurable entirely via a POSIX-style CLI. Thanks to its minimalism, it's extremely flexible; you can leverage flagd as a sidecar alongside your application, an engine running in your application process, or as a central service evaluating thousands of flags per second.
