Oh yeah! I’m going to give it a spin today. I was pretty far in building a tool like this myself. But I think I don’t have to anymore 🤣
Hanging on to mine for dear life! A couple of months back I saw one seller at bol.com sell new ones, can’t find it now though. 😢

I use Homey by Athom. Can control almost everything and I find it more intuitive compared to home assistant.
Been thinking about the Web platform & it's pretty incredible what #CSS can do now compared to what it did when I started in this field 14 years ago.
We went from having too little to having almost too much (if you think how many of the new features you use day to day)
Imagine where we'll go next!

my best code is written in a two-step process:
1. kludge a working prototype together, don’t worry about the code AT ALL. the point is understanding how the requirements function in reality
2. destroy the prototype completely. build the app for real using my better mental model
/* Range style query in an if() statement */ .weather-card { background: if( style(--rain-percent > 45%): blue; else: gray; ); }
Can we quickly appreciate how powerful CSS has become and what a beautiful snippet this is? 👏

A graphic featuring repeated square shapes with consistent gaps between them. The text reads "Tracking/Letterspacing = Flex Gap. Consistent spacing applied across the entire text"
I often see the word 'kerning' used incorrectly by CSS heads when the term they're actually looking for to describe letter spacing is 'tracking'. Let me explain using CSS terminology!
Tracking is the same as gap in flex layouts; consistent spacing applied across the entire text.

AT #smashingconf, @tkadlec.bsky.social is reminding us that betting on the browser (rather than JavaScript abstractions) is our best chance of long-term success.
Even setting politics aside: I honestly can't name a single reason to use NextJS in 2025, aside from "because everyone else is." It has literally no unique benefit or unbeatable feature.
Apparently our moms misjudged us; it turns out a lot of us *would* jump off a cliff if all our friends did.

An excellent take from @csswizardry.com on progressive enhancement, SPA frameworks and staying as close to the platform as possible.

I wrote a short article about the :heading pseudo-class and function.

It includes a little interactive section where you can play with the values and see how the affect the headings on the side.

Ran my first half marathon today 🥵
CSS `field-sizing` on a `<textarea>` is obviously awesome.
But the horizontal growth using it on an `<input>` is less clearly useful to me. But check out this design pattern I cooked up. I don't hate it. Keeps the name area compact until you need to see more. Just a bit of flexbox wrapping.

This why I started moving all my repos to @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de
Currently I’m also pushing to GitHub as a mirror. Contemplating if I just should move off completely.
