π Happy New Year!
I discovered a lot of very cool dev stuff in 2024, from libraries to devtools to educational resources. Thought itβd be fun to share them all, to help kickstart your 2025!

HEY. I had the great opportunity to go on the @syntax.fm podcast and talk about web performance, web components, & a lot more. That episode is live with an absolute linkbait title wherever you get your podcasts! π syntax.fm/show/848/web... open.spotify.com/episode/0YgS...
Incredibly hilarious. Bravo.
Make it fast. Make it accessible. Make it easy to use. Make its value apparent. Ask people what they think of it.

π For years, the #1 most requested feature in CSS was Container Queries. We wanted them so badly!

Do your best to take care of yourselves this week, friends. Take breaks, breaths, and walks.

import { authorFeedLoader } from "@ascorbic/bluesky-loader"; const posts = defineCollection({ loader: authorFeedLoader({ identifier: "mk.gg", }), }); export const collections = { posts };
--- import { getCollection } from "astro:content"; const posts = await getCollection("posts"); --- <div> { posts.map(async (post) => { const { Content } = await render(post); return ( <section> <Content /> <p>{post.data.likeCount} likes</p> </section> ); }) } </div>
Would you like to display your Bluesky posts in your Astro site? I've made an Astro content loader for Bluesky! When you build the site it loads your posts and puts them in a content collection. You can then display them on a page, or use the raw data however you want.
