Went to two frontend conferences in as many days, and learned a lot; not all of it what the presenters hoped I'd take away: infrequently.org/2025/06/conf...

love this: CSS Blob Recipes css-tricks.com/css-blob-rec... I've built more than one website over the years (despite my protests) where "Blobs" was a primary design element 😅 bit of a nightmare trying to fit responsive content into a blob!

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

I have no idea why, but Google thinks I'm far more well off than I am, lol. For the past few months, I've been getting ads for yachts and private jets, and I just got one today for investment plans for people who have a hell of a lot more money than I do in my phone's news feed.

@kevinpowell.co is entirely right: this is a fun idea! A quick implementation: www.kryogenix.org/code/browser... -- and the beauty of this is that it can BE done as a quick implementation, because view transitions between pages are easy once you've grasped the vibe. Hooray for pure CSS stuff, I say.

The CSS if() function lets us use values conditionally, which we can already do with queries and other functions, so you’re probably wondering: What exactly would I use it for? @dxnny.fun pokes at what it might look like to use if() for conditional color theming. css-tricks.com/poking-at-th...

I've somehow only now realized that if you want to transition between themes, view transitions make it incredibly easy... Translates like I did here are a bit over the top, but clip-path opens up some fun possibilities.

Lately when we've been making pizza, I've been incredibly lazy and used tortilla wraps cause it's super fast and easy. My oldest son has been complaining every time, though, so figured I'd actually make some dough today. Hope he's happy 😁
