Was messing around with ATProto and came up with a retro Prevue/TV Guide Channel experience.

✍️ I did an explainer on the CPU and GPU and how they coordinate tasks between them. Going to a series on rendering💥

🍦 New Article: Don't test implementation details

Some of you complain that PageSpeed Insights is a bit unrealistically show for the Lighthouse test. The PSI servers are a bit underpowered so we're changing the throttling, which should make the Performance score go up when this rolls out in the next few weeks. github.com/GoogleChrome... 🧵 1/5

Looks like Chromium is about to change how prefetches behave, so that only cacheable resources will be served from the prefetch cache: groups.google.com/a/chromium.o... If you're prefetching your HTMLs, make sure they are actually cacheable, even with a short lifetime.

My talk "React Query API Design – Lessons Learned" is now available for everyone. Check it out! gitnation.com/contents/rea...

There are a lot of new folks here (hi!), sharing that I made a CSS Grid Generator tool that might be useful to you if you're making a site. https://buff.ly/3c8XSzI Enjoy!

Design/dev friends: if you're not already aware of @ishadeed.com's work, I recommend checking it out. The articles on this blog, and particularly the interactive ones, are some of the best technical writing on CSS being produced today. Start w the Container Queries guide ishadeed.com/article/css-...

Hello, Joe!

💡 CSS Tip! Use modern CSS to create those rounded tab shapes with a minimal code ✅ No extra element & No pseudo-element ✅ One variable to control the curvature ✅ Works with gradient coloration Horizontal Version: css-tip.com/rounded-tab/ Vertical Version: css-tip.com/vertical-rou... #CSS

Got to be a bug right

Darn, BlueSky is how a social media should be. I'm finally getting a proper amount of engagement. Reminds me how inspiring it is to share thoughts with the others. @bsky.app, thank you for building this place.

😮 Bluesky pro-tip: in the accessibility settings, you can enforce that the images you post must have alt text. This is important for folks who use screen readers. Instead of seeing the image, the supplied text will be read to them instead.

@bsky.app look around see what you do everybody smiles at you

Any devs that want to play with the ATPROTO / bluesky API, I did a bunch of experiments last year: github.com/wesbos/blue-... A cli tool, a reply bot, a top users scraper (though that was when this place had 30k users, not 13 million)

long shot, but do any React Native experts know if there’s a way to get the green thing (contentContainerStyle) to show up in the middle vertically but WITHOUT extending its height?

Fellow UI friends and Bluesky newbies, Here's a starter pack of folks who specialize in the craft of user-interfaces (designers, engineers, content creators and more) go.bsky.app/3gFAT6Y

hi to all old friends from twitter! i want to show you this thing: atproto-browser.vercel.app. put your bluesky handle in it and explore :) this should give you some intuition about how this place works under the hood. happy to answer any questions about it!

I wrote a book about TypeScript. It took 9 months. And it's free. www.totaltypescript.com/books/total-...

I created a Bluesky Starter Pack! 🎉 It includes ~75 wonderful people in the web dev community who are doing inspiring work. I know I’ve missed some folks; I plan on adding to it over time. Starter packs are such a great idea. Immediately makes Bluesky feel less lonely for newcomers. 😄

@danabra.mov's interview with Adam Elmore and @thdxr.com is a good listen to learn more about Bluesky's history and future. tomorrow.fm/95
