⚠️ Don't try this at home: Add Brainf**k support to your JS app today! Dear Mods of dev.to, please bear with me for this one. This post will have a few profanities, as you...

I did something that absolutely should not exist: I added Brainf**k support to JavaScript apps. It uses an unplugin, to transpile this Eso-Lang to JS, and it actually works.

Please don't use this in production. Ever.

The mythical "one plugin to rule them all" exists. This dev explores Unplugin—a unified system for creating build tool plugins for Vite, Webpack, and more.

Posting a bit more lately, and I'm highly motivated to keep it going!

I published a new post on writing one build tool plugin that works across ecosystems using @unjs.io's unplugin system - the why, how and when.

Check it out on @dev.to: dev.to/thormeier/th...

CSS Form Control Styling Level 1

This. Is. HUGE! drafts.csswg.org/css-forms/ - Finally! Custom selects without external libs, custom checkboxes without :before and :after hacks, custom file uploads without hiding the input! How awesome is that?!

Great talks at the @symfony.com user group Zurich today! Learned about SEAL (thank you @alexander-schranz.bsky.social!) and the future of the #sulu CMS.

Yesterday, I learned the hard way: When writing an #unplugin that transforms code, be as precise as possible. #webpack5 applied the transform to font files, breaking them. @vite.dev didn't, with the same code. Solution: `transformInclude` should explicitly check for files I want to change.

I finally got around to setting my domain as my handle! Love this feature! Now I only need to update it everywhere... Would love it if the website would redirect the old handle to the new one, opening the old profile link throws an error...

@bsky.app is there a way around that?

Great question! Config in CSS is more verbose. F.e. color variants are set via `--color-{name}-{shade}` instead of a nested object, so lots of repetition for highly custom configs. Also, this approach merges theme overwrite and extension, meaning default stuff is still around unless overwritten.

Played around a little with @tailwindcss.com v4 yesterday - So far, it feels like learning an entirely new framework, and the everything-is-css approach feels a bit like good ol' SASS. I do, however, like how clean and straight-forward it feels. Different opinions? #webdev #css
