I figured out how to generate link preview images in 11ty (now Build Awesome?) and this one cuts my head off which is fine because cat.
Maybe I should make a post about that, because I didn't find any good complete ones for what I wanted, but do you think I took notes?
A little blog about what I did in February jennabarth.com/blog/post/fe...

Oh, it's also keyboard navigable (video shows some tabbing) but I did something hacky to keep focus from going inside the closed panels. Might clean it up and post the source later.
Not sure what to do with it, but I discovered `interpolate-size: allow-keywords;` which makes the transition work for items of unknown height. It's not available in every major browser yet. I've done it with some vanilla JS before, and the Angular animations API made it easy.
I made this little code prototype to test the technical feasibility of an idea I mocked up in Figma a while ago. The concept was to have a responsive overview show the top items and use "contextual zoom" for more detail. Neat that it's CSS-only, smoother and took less time than Figma.
Moody-looking black and white tabby cat, face partially obscured in shade cast by the black and white chair he sits upon, in front of a writing desk with laptop, notebooks, brass lamp, vintage-looking art.
I've been writing. I don't have writers block, but I do seem to have poster's block. Anyway, here's a cat
The number one thing I've been hearing from people in tech lately is, basically, "How the hell am I supposed to work in this industry anymore?" Though most folks are kind of afraid to say it out loud. So I wrote about how to think about it: www.anildash.com/2026/01/05/a...

Starting a blog. I made it with the Eleventy base blog, which was a breeze. Now I just need to mush it into my main site to publish. Maybe in a day or two.
Have you heard of broetry?
Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Finally updated my portfolio site. The last time was in 2018. If you have a moment, let me know what you think! jennabarth.com
Working there would've been my dream job... then Apple killed Flash
What about xs and xl? (j/k, I've referred multiple people to viewports.fyi when they ask me what the best breakpoints are)
Two cats sitting on a cat tree, one black tabby looking at us with his tongue sticking out in a "blep" and one pretty silver tabby gazing out the window

First post! I was on that other app and somewhat active in the web design community in early 2010s. Making websites since 1999. Not sure what I'll post here. Haven't had many side projects lately. Used to blog. Wish the web was fun again. I'm inspired by people on here!
