A light Sunday of tooling notes: a neat document.currentScript trick for inline rendering, a new alpha of Simon Willison's web-edit, and two quick claude-code-action releases.
Tools & Practical
Inline rendering with document.currentScript
Simon Willison- Lean Rada describes a trick built on the document.currentScript property: a tiny inline script element that replaces itself when the page loads.
- The example drops in a script that calls document.currentScript.replaceWith(...) so the script tag is swapped for rendered content in place, with no separate container or build step.
web-edit 0.1a2
Simon Willison- web-edit is Willison's tiny web app for browsing and editing files in a folder, built mainly for editing files on different machines over Tailscale.
- This alpha adds a copy-to-clipboard option for both text and image data, which he needed while working with pelican prompt output.
anthropics/claude-code-action: v1.0.252 and v1.0.251
Anthropic GitHub- Two incremental releases of Anthropic's Claude Code GitHub Action landed on Oct 15 (v1.0.251) and Oct 16 (v1.0.252).
- The release notes only link full changelogs (v1.0.250 to v1.0.251 and v1.0.251 to v1.0.252), so check the compare views for specifics before upgrading; v1.0.251 is at https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-action/releases/tag/v1.0.251.
