the "original links" part aged poorly. bluesky links go through a tracker now (though it's still possible to copy the clean URL)

all i wanted from Figma was better variable management. instead, they released a feature so fundamentally broken that it continues to get roasted by devs even on the weekend 💀

i like that Nate calls this out. i've used Astro on a wide range of projects, and hit those boundaries myself. Astro excels at the "JS sprinkles" use case, and does exceedingly little to help with rich interactivity.

free idea: design system documentation in haiku format

was trying to use `margin-trim` today. found that it also gets rid of negative margins, which is unfortunate.

PSA: `content-visibility` is not ready in Safari even though it's available. If you previously were using the feature as a progressive enhancement, you should also use a Safari-specific selector to ensure it does not apply. I keep on finding significant accessibility issues with the implementation.

it's a good day to re-share xkcd.fyi

your outie likes using tailwind

can we make this the industry standard pls

what do y'all do with your unclosed tabs? I've been running pong inside all 240 of mine blog with a bunch of details over here: eieio.games/blog/running...

We just launched a 16TB archive of every dataset that has been available on data.gov since November. This will be updated day by day as new datasets appear. It can be freely copied, and we're sharing the code behind it to help others make their own archives of data they depend on.

thinking about CSS

*yawn* HTML has always been a programming language. tell me something new.

CSS: there's a unit for every occasion. ch, vh, lh, cqi, ex, cap, and 50 others Figma: you get px, and now you also get rem. choose wisely!

oklch and color-mix make it so easy to build design systems, it almost feels like cheating
