First look at a new Snipping Tool feature coming soon to Windows 11: the ability to quickly create GIFs from screen recordings! You'll get options to export/copy the GIF, with a choice between low and high quality. This menu can also be accessed with a keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+G.

Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield takes me back to 2012 every single time...It's like a massive nostalgia hit every single time, lol

Don't you just love it sometimes when the code you wrote months ago just just works incredibly well but you just kinda forgot about it

PTSD intensifies

In popular Toggle Group components, clicking the selected item de-selects it. I’m curious; should it behave more like a radio group, or at least offer that option? Like, if I click “Align Right” repeatedly, should “Align Right” stay selected? That’s how it works in documents.🤔

Which do yall prefer? (check the poll in the comment below) Left or Right

Drawing inspiration from the incredible React ARIA! A calendar web component is coming soon.

I'm fascinated by people saying complex problems require complex solutions to fix, sometimes the problem just requires a simple solution directed in the right spot, e.g. a missing semi-colon causing like 91 errors, when just putting semi-colon back fixes the issue /1 🧵

He’s so good at this.

@solidjs.com has filled 4+ years of my life. Lots of highs and lots of lows. Lots of work but also lots of fun & growth. As community leader, it's been a ride! Watching Ryan innovate and shake up the ecosystem has been so awe inspiring. Looking forward to many more years and more solid growth. 😉

TIL, Nordcraft is built using web components + signals, which is sooo cool

Your wacky prefers-the-platform pal is looking for a new role! 👉I love people, Web APIs (& Components) & real browser tests. 👉I try to design APIs like they came out of the box. 👉I love clean, thoughtful, beautiful web apps. ... and I’d love to chat! jonneal.dev

I've honestly been thinking about this for a while, eventually these AI model companies will need to increase their prices, which will make agents even more expensive

Fantastic work

this @ryanmulligan.dev demo really convinced me that scroll-driven animations are the next big thing 🔥 thanks for the link, @codepen.io newsletter!
