nice congrats!
To answer the inevitable question, why not use a CMS? I want github *to be the cms*. I don't want my content locked behind a database. It's perfectly fine for it to be static files.
I would especially like to have this for content focused sites like marketing websites. The desire is for the site code to be open source, but the content should not be. I've tried the submodule approach before and it was a total nightmare.
the really interesting bit to me was Traffic-Aware Pre-Rendering!
would love to see that become the default for nextjs + astro apps
of course, later down the line I'd like to open a combination craft beer bar and museum in Tokyo or operating a vending machine empire are things my partner and I dream about doing
but neither of those have a straight-forward path to make them happen, rather they are just soft-retirement ideas
I've got a few things I'd like to do, but figuring out how to make money doing them isn't something I like to think about, such as:
- teaching Japanese to friends is my current time-sink
- many people ask if I'm a pro photographer
- I'd like to make a coffee table book of my beer can collection
personally, I'm tired of seeing post after post about AI that sounds like someone trying to sell me something. none of it is genuine. all of it is clout chasing.
less slop more craft
talked a bit about this today. some feedback I heard was that tech Twitter posts these days sound too much like LinkedIn engagement farming. so, I think showing that there's still a place where we just train of thought what we're building again, that'd be a start
losing my god damn mind waking up to hear that YAKO TARO is writing a new Eva series!

yes, but you see now these devs *have the time* to write all those good docs, cuz the AI needs it and making the AI work better is their primary job function!
AI freed them from having to write all the code, so now they can write all the docs! /s
fact of the matter is, Discord *cannot* be trusted with user's private identifying information, as their past failure handling it in the UK and elsewhere has shown
this is a massive invasion of privacy, especially the constant age verification surveillance. it will drive user trust even lower
been a paying @discord.com subscriber for as long as they've had nitro and my account is nearly as old as the platform itself
this universal age verification requirement is not it. I'm now in discussions with half a dozen servers about plans to migrate off platform
this decision should be reversed
compare this to the text to speech app I made last weekend, which got the multi-voice dialog speaking and a dialog editor all working right off the bat! It even adapted the crude design I gave it half-way through pretty well too
user-sting-92053801.figma.site
guess I am just gonna have to make this toy app the old fashioned way. and here I thought I had a well-scoped project I could toss over the wall and have a success story to talk about
here's the design I gave it (first image) versus version 9 (second image)
this came about while trying to fix the select inputs, which were completely broken to start. not a single version is usable, either, as it fails to use mediabunny from npm (claude couldn't do it either)
had a good experience with Figma Make last weekend, where it more-or-less one-shot'd an app on the first prompt. successive prompts made it better, too
but today I had the opposite experience, lol... I came at it with a design up front and it got worse with each iteration. more detail made it worse
A makes the most sense to me!
excited to see this become a thing
🎉 Live from the CSS WG F2F: We just agreed to support multiple borders and outlines per element, comma-separated!
But we can’t decide on the order: inside out or outside in?
What feels more natural to you, A or B?
(it needs to be the same across borders and outlines or different box-sizing values)
my first thought upon seeing this was how to use it to implement this top-level navigation
The new corner-shape CSS property unlocks exciting new UI patterns.
corner-shape: bevel round;
border-radius: 1em 0 / 3em 0;
Reminder that in 2 weeks we'll be hosting our next monthly event over at Tap Union! We had a pretty decent turnout for our first gathering with over a dozen local designers and software devs. Looking forward to hearing about what everyone has been working on!

Hmm, do you think it would be possible to surface warnings about these kinds of overly broad selectors in an IDE?
Like assume I'm just writing plain CSS and making broad use of nesting, something like .main { a { &:hover { ... } } } could fall in this category, right?
A really common user interface pattern is a big clickable area, such as a card. Sometimes you need controls within that card that are also clickable. There's lots of ways to do it wrong, but fret not, @ericwbailey.website is here to show you how to do it right.

yoooo same thank you for coming out to the event tonight! I hope you had some good conversations!
this year I'm doing something new and I'm teaching 5 of my friends Japanese in weekly 2-hour classes with the goal of preparing them to take and pass the JLPT N5 next December
just completed our second session and man... I'm gonna be an expert at @figma.com Slides by the time we're done...
We plan to host these on the second Tuesday of each month. Our venue, Tap Union, serves a wide variety of rotating craft beer (in addition to plenty of NA / GF options!) and some really tasty sandwiches. This is a casual event to connect with fellow developers in your local community, no set agenda!
PDX designers and front-end engineers (and people who build products™️)! I'm hosting a new social meetup in downtown Vancouver this upcoming Tuesday!
There aren't a whole lot of tech events here north of the river, so my partner and I decided to start our own. Come join us!
