Why I 🧡 the web. Someone made an app where you LITERALLY HAVE TO TOUCH GRASS to unlock your apps (for #mentalhealth and laughs?) touchgrass.now #iOS

Speaking of #Cursor AI, this is a possibly useful "Cheat Sheet" I stumbled on in the Cursor subreddit. #webdev #programming I'm still exploring the tool - and coding with AI in general. There's no question it's been helpful, but there's more to ponder.

Reclaiming Memory from #PHP Arrays medium.com/@vectorial10... Definitely learned something from reading this.

Been playing with Cursor AI more, and had some great recent success with it (mainly with #PHP and #Laravel, some #Javascript). This is a Cursor extension that forwards #frontend errors and screenshots to composer in one-click. github.com/saketsarin/c... #webdev #AI

🚀 Been working on an approach to streamlining #WordPress block development by building static, dynamic, and interactive blocks in one efficient setup with optimized asset loading, modern build tools, and more! Would love to get some feedback from other block developers! github.com/troychaplin/...

What an interesting #software #development story. "20 years working on the same software product". 😮 successfulsoftware.net/2025/02/21/2... Old timers like me will appreciate the mention of software on CDs. :-) 💿 #programming

I love it. BritCSS fixes #CSS to use "non-bastardised" spellings using English (traditional) spellings for CSS properties, rather than English (simplified). background-colour vs background-color. :-) github.com/DeclanChidlo... #webdev #JavaScript

Monitoring #WCAsia this week. Not going but I remember for years there was discussion on having a conference in this area of the world. COVID delayed it too. Seeing photos and experiences shared by the #WordPress community gives me warm fuzzies but from this event, it’s especially encouraging.

Why I 🧡 the web. Running #Pong in 240 Browser Tabs 🏓 eieio.games/blog/running... #opensource: github.com/nolenroyalty... #JavaScript

A password generator inspired by the xkcd password spec: xkcd.com/936/ github.com/beala/xkcd-p... #python #security #webdev

Surreal. This #StarTrek com badge “toy” that uses Bluetooth and costs around just $80 has more functionality than the more expensive #Humane #AI pin will in a few days.

#WordPress people might remember Jenny. Either way, welcome.

I wrote up a post about how we hugely improved the write performance for Bluesky's timelines/following feed. If you want to learn more about how we did it, check it out. Some nuggets in there about embracing imperfection in some parts of a system to scale better. jazco.dev/2025/02/19/i...

Build a light/dark mode toggle switch component with #CSS & #JavaScript webdesign.tutsplus.com/light-dark-m... #webdev

If you're looking for "professional social media screenshots" in a pinch, then postspark.app is worth a look. Ability to post to #Bluesky as well. #webtools #socialmedia

Lazy loading hidden images: cloudfour.com/thinks/lazy-... Images in menus or carousels etc that's technically above the fold, but not visible, all you need is add loading="lazy" and browser will defer downloading the image. No longer need a #JavaScript solution for those use cases #CSS #webdev

Live versions of the "'What a week, huh?' meme. - 'What a day': tintin.dlazaro.ca/day - 'What a week': tintin.dlazaro.ca/week - 'What a month': tintin.dlazaro.ca/month - 'What a year': tintin.dlazaro.ca/year #memes

.bathroom { width: fit-content; } #memes #CSS

Looking for online personality tests similar to tests.enneagraminstitute.com (but not this - while mine is mostly accurate, my friend's doesn't seem so). Doesn't have to be free (the one above was $20) but looking for personality tests like this for better communicate between co-workers or spouses.

Why I 🧡 the web. chillyatc.com Air Traffic Control Radio and Chill Music for Focus. #music #background #planes #focus

This is cool: poweroutage.us project created to track, record, and aggregate power outages across the United States. Data is updated site wide approximately every ten minutes.

Just wanted to share my 15 year old daughter's wedding anniversary gift to me (a Trekkie). 😍 I don't know (or care) where she found the photo to use a a guide but the painting is 100% her working hard in a garage for a few afternoons. 🖖🏻 #StarTrek #Spock

"How websites waste CPU cycles & battery and #Firefox lets them" h.43z.one/blog/2025-02-12/ " #Chrome stops the battery/CPU waste automatically. Firefox not. It just keeps playing the whitenoise. …websites are to blame here. But still, Cmon Firefox protect me from this resource theft?!" #webdev

"My Life In Weeks" weeks.ginatrapani.org I think the UI would make for a really great #WordPress plugin for a "life blog" or "life page" on a blog. #blogging

Why I 🧡 the web. Someone created a #bunny avatar generator. 🐰 5nr76d0s8jdn.trickle.host A few customizations and you can download it.

ThreadSky is a "community-driven platform that brings #Reddit style discussions to #Bluesky". threadsky.app via news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4305...

Super excited to share I'll be able to spend more time contributing to WordPress and also that @karmatosed.art is now being sponsored by Greyd too! greyd.io/why-greyd-is...

#CSS nesting: use with caution 🪹 piccalil.li/blog/css-nes... "There are features that fill me with dread though and right at the top of that list is native CSS nesting." #webdev

Some very cool stuff happening with GenerateBlocks for #WordPress. Hat tip to @remkusdevries.com for sharing in his newsletter. generatepress.com/introducing-...

I'm constantly amazed that still in 2025 how clever, amazing, and integrating things are being built on the web (mostly open source!), ... more often than not coming from folks just "fooling around" and not big tech. AMAZING when even a single person knows a little of basic #CSS, HTML, etc. 👍🏻

Somewhat #AI related. CodeWeaver helps generate a #Markdown document of your codebase structure and content: tesserato.web.app/posts/2025-0... #webdev #webtools

I've seen more impressive #AI workflows in #webdev (much with #WordPress) in the past two weeks then ever. I'm adding @rich.blog "Experimenting with Conversational Voice AI" to the list as well. rich.blog/voice-ai/ "...built a WordPress block using Cursor and the PlayAI Web SDK."

Lazy loading with animations. #CSS medienbaecker.com/articles/ani...

When you are almost done with the project but your manager (or client) has “a few suggestions”. 🤔 #memes #uno #feeelancing #webdev

I rebuilt my website as a Windows 95 experience. Try the Disk Defragmenter! #Wes95 #BuildInPublic https://wes.dev/

Why I 🧡 the web. Go to this site: pointerpointer.com Move your cursor to some part of the screen and leave it there. Do it a few more times. Trust me. 😉

Interesting, if nothing else as an interesting #webdev thing. "Smuggling arbitrary data through an #emoji" 🤔 paulbutler.org/2025/smuggli...

Turn a simple input into single-digit inputs using a few lines of #CSS. Useful for One-Time Password fields. css-tip.com/single-digit...

“All the effort with the site we launched went to the frontend with #css #JavaScript and a ton of fancy UI. Will do the backend later.” 🤔 #memes #webdev

My VS Code extension [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Porifa.laravel-intelephense] just hit 100K installs 🎉 Super excited! Huge thanks to everyone who uses it! 🙏 What should I build next? A Livewire extension for: Livewire Flux UI Livewire Volt #vscode #extensions #livewire
