This is the last time I shared my #frontend summary in the old blog. Upgrade from Svelte4 to Svelte5 is in the final stage. Happy Friday, Happy Reading: www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

Oh, this is a real gem. It is almost impossible to read it, as it is simply fun to click, hover, and scroll through. Such great attention to detail!

AI music is littering the internet, and finding good music while coding is getting more complex. However, this band covers Old School and is a total gem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHiz...

I guess the deadline is needed; otherwise, I will keep polishing my V2 blog for weeks. Also, I keep hearing the phrase in my head, "Perfect is the enemy of good". Anyway, I'm going to switch my blog versions on Sunday. Here, said it publicly between my ~10 followers :D

I am currently completely rewriting my old portfolio, and it was not straightforward to move from #Svelte 4 to Svelte 5, but the hardest bit is the content. I just get bored with the copies; I prefer to develop things, not describe them.

Iconify (icon-sets.iconify.design) makes my life much more straightforward. When I want some fancy icons for Notion, it is super easy to copy PNG as URL and paste it into the #notion Thanks, @cyberalien.dev !

Creepy days. I spent the weekend debugging some State management in Svelte. The code works as expected, and it's all good, but the console has a warning about the wrong use of Stores. It only clicked this morning that some Chrome plugin created that error. Oh well.

Another week, another post on the front-end news. www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

Interesting. Trying to scale icons on hover. Chrome animates super smoothly. Safari is not so much; Firefox is worse. Added will-change:transform, overflow:hidden and Safari is fixed; however, for FF, nothing improves. #CSS

Loads of reading this week. Here is an Angular strategy for 2025, a checklist for tsconfig.json, Rising Stars 2024, Threlte 8, and that's only from JS updates, Accessibility, ARIA tool, the latest WP saga and the British summer simulator. www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

One of the most realistic simulators! vole.wtf/british-seas...

Good post on accessibility essentials for the web martijnhols.nl/blog/accessi...

I was told there is no way to ask AI to generate a glass of wine filled to the brim, 100% to the top. That's because there are no real photos of such a thing. AI can't learn that. I still had to try it and didn't succeed. :) Shall we teach green wine always filled to the top?

This is great website to check colour scheme and see how it looks in the website: www.happyhues.co

It was a calm start to the year, but still, few articles caught my attention. I liked Epic Programming Principles, text balance and text trim, and the neat way of using hover and more. Happy Friday, and happy reading! www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

When you have no time and need a dark theme for the web, use these two lines :) document.body.style.filter = 'invert(1)' document.body.style.background = 'black'

It is interesting how old habits sit strong. I still see the usage of <input type="submit" value="Submit form" /> in web courses when <button type="submit">Submit Form</button> is available, can be styled better, and generally makes more sense.

If you must use google for search at the end of your search string add: -ai -sponsored and you might have much better luck on results.

I'd say CSS has become full of math and programming. I wanted a column grid with gaps and used a linear-gradient() for that. It took me a while, but it worked. Also, CSS doesn't look like CSS at all :)

Note to myself, if I want create restrictive SCSS mixin for Container Queries, I must use queries with interpolation, so something like this: @if $size == small { @container (min-width: #{$cq-small}) { @content; } } Otherwise, it will never work.

I still think that bizarre CSS utility lib is an overhyped thing.

Happy Friday! The last two weeks have brought loads of excellent posts. My personal favourites were about clever clip-path usage in CSS and self-aware components! www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

All but 3 props are used last year from the post. Somehow didn't know about outline-offset, really useful focused elements. moderncss.dev/12-modern-cs...

I had an eventful morning when I tried to figure out why my CSS grid was not working and only realised I applied aspect-ratio to the cell itself and not the element inside it. Took me longer than it should :)

There is great post about "self-aware" components. I wonder if something like that is possible to recreate with TailwindCSS? piccalil.li/blog/making-...

most interesting framework for the sixth year running, most positively viewed for the second (usual caveats apply! but, like... the people have spoken. if you're starting a new web project, use @svelte.dev)

CSS text-box indeed is going to be awesome addition, however, it took me few minutes till I realise that it works only on Safari for now codepen.io/argyleink/fu...

I remember when you could just buy a computer program like Microsoft Word or Photoshop and just have it on your computer forever without having to pay monthly or yearly. What a time that was

Bi-weekly FE news. And happy Friday! :) www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

I didn't know Cloudflare even does all those things despite I'm using it for my own tiny projects. Btw, video is superb: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJtO...

What a crazy week on my side. Finally I was able to put my CSS layout smartness in play :) Dig into crazy amount of CSS and twisted HTML but still need to dig deeper. For some reason I love those CSS challenges.

Happy Friday! Here is my bi-weekly front-end collection. Moving over here :) Angular 19 has improved SSR, Hydration, Signals, and more. There have also been articles about Next.js, bitwise shifts, and CSS magic. www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

Happy Friday! This week's roundup brings posts about SPA, Svelte CLI, strict equality operator and the exciting adventure of Monorepo, which has a size of 178GB. For CSS World, there is a great deep dive (twice) into Container Queries and how browsers render a website www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

That Bluesky thing reminds me of something. I remember a similar thing I used 10 years ago, which was a good experience. Lets see how this will goes :D
