Highly recommend using an RSS reader if you’re overwhelmed by newsletters in your inbox. Feels more like checking into a social feed than task management

Templating is so underrated. Everyone throwing JS around and I’m here using my curly bois {{ }}

Just recalling that time I heard on an internal company grapevine that someone said in a meeting, without irony,
“Responsive design is a fad”

Regretfully decided to peer into Twitter and stumbled into a shitpost claiming that you can’t be a real developer if you have to use a framework to use JavaScript.

So people more or less know my view on JS frameworks, I’d prefer not to use them if possible. However there is no way I'm going to be going round gatekeeping the whole ass industry just because you used a lib you're comfortable with.

Get off your high horse and be more welcoming, not exclusionary

Kinda wish every UK plug was Apple's satisfying collapsing plug

The “prong” side of a UK Apple plug, showing the 3 prongs collapsed down into recesses in the plug body. I flicked the tall prong which causes them all to spring up

Newly added to my #WebComponents collection: <link-peek>!

Turn any regular anchor link into a rich preview (also known as an ‘unfurled’ link). Can be used with any JSON API and allows for custom templating.

Prefect for creating more visual interest on links without filling the page with additional HTML noise:

When your design system is ‘feature complete’ it does that cascading effect like when you finish a game of Solitaire on Windows

My friend from my Nord design system days @WickyNilliams has created a set of #WebComponents for displaying calendars called ‘cally’.
