Alright, so … #CSS!

At Homebrew Website Club last night we got onto the topic of chaos and websites. I asked What is the most chaotic page on your website? To my surprise, everyone had a slightly different answer: from pages with an “earthquake mode” to a web page whose background colour changes...

When I design web pages, I usually start with an idea or concept I want to explore. Here are a few examples of things I have wanted to play with: A two-column layout that uses black, white, and grey A site that only uses two colours A web page that uses text with unusual spa...

If you’re posting all of the life lessons from your best-selling book using AI-generated illustrations and images, I can’t help but think you might have written huge parts of that book with AI as well… 🤔

It makes me really happy to see that already more than 1.5k people watched my talk from last month’s @btconf on YouTube! 🥳🙏 I take it as a sign that it was useful to many of you and that real-world, independent conferences are still valuable and relevant – just like the long tail of YouTube when it comes to the visibility and impact of conferences. I’m so glad I can contribute to @marcthiele’s wonderful event and to the community this way! 💚

Alright, Zuck. 😂

Here’s what's included:

… e.g. your content (including audio), messages, metadata, location, device characteristics and device software, apps, “what you're doing on your device, such as whether our app is in the foreground”, identifiers that tell your device apart from other users’, device signals, information about the network that you connect your device to, including your IP address, and, of course, “information from cookies and similar technologies” – and so much more.

Sounds totally legitimate to me. 😂

Yes, yes, yes, yes, @jasonsantamaria! 👏

“For now, I’m planning on continuing to roll up my sleeves. I want to make things because I’m human and alive. I want to go on journeys and grow. I’m not always looking for an easy path, I want the friction. Because if I give up the journey, what am I really making? What do I actually learn?”

Just bought a lifetime license for Atmos because it is just sooo good for creating perceptually uniform color palettes – including a shade generator, a contrast checker, OKLCH support, CSS export, a Figma plugin, online sharing, and, and… 😍 👉 https://atmos.style

Every bit of The Cure’s album “Songs of a Lost World” is brilliant, but especially Endsong is a masterpiece:

When I woke up this morning, I thought that I wanted to try something new. Instead of my usual routine of reading, I spent some time trying on different outfits, seeing which one felt like the best for the day. I had washed and dried my hair well last night so this felt like ...

The default experience for opening an RSS or Atom file in Chrome and Firefox is for the browser to show raw XML. Sometimes, feed files download when you open the link instead of showing XML. In both cases, the user experience is less than ideal. A raw feed file is unintuitive...

Quick #CSS tip: If you unset all styles of a button with `all: unset`, don’t forget to re-add all the styles you need, like `box-sizing: border-box` or focus styles, which previously might have been coming from a rule with lower specificity (*) or the user agent stylesheet.

Someone – I blame my family, of course 😜 – used up all my mobile data for the month, so I’m now surfing like it’s 1999… 🐌 brb

Great that all “websites” are now basically 10 MB of JavaScript! 👏😂

I love having long hair. But having long hair means you need to dry long hair. Without any plans this evening, I decided I would wash my hair and follow the routine I learned earlier this year. It does take more time, but when you have an evening without any plans what better...

I was trying to find my way. I was thinking my mind was made. goes the refrain in Big Red Machine, Fleet Foxes, and Anäis Mitchell’s Phoenix, a song that I have been listening to a lot this week. Listening to the song makes me both want to sing along with the same passion as ...
