TFW you build a site with @getkirby and web platform standards (== semantic HTML, modern CSS, a little bit of JavaScript, and a dash of ARIA) and you look at Lighthouse for the first time …
Looks like industry best practices actually work. (Sorry for using my platform to ruin anyone’s day. 🥰) 🍋
aaaaaaaaaa! There it is!
My friend @koeberlin’s brand new typeface Tausend is out. So, so good … 😍
Oh wow! Beyerdynamic is being acquired by a Chinese company called Cosonic. Feels very AKG-esque, but of course, “nothing will change.”
☕️ I can drink coffee all day, also in the evening, and fall asleep without any problems (although my sleep quality might suffer).
🧉 But give me a cup of mate, and I’ll be wide awake until 3 am. 🪩🕺
😂
Let’s just for a second – purely hypothetical, of course – suppose there was a podcast where some random guy talks to people from the web community about their personal websites and what they’re curious and passionate about.
Who would you love to see as a guest? 🤔
I have no clue how to play in a band, how to record and track, let alone mix a track. But I love music and I could listen forever to Rick Beato interviewing Eric Valentine about every little detail of his productions – this guy really knows and loves his stuff! Incredible! 😮 #music #audioengineering
“Head of Algorithms”
What a job title. 🧙✨😁
And no, it’s not Figma Sites. 😁
That’s Squarespace.
Wow, that body is …… classy?! 😅 #bestpractices
That escalated quickly. ☺️
🍿👀🤗
👀 We’re getting there …
This episode was incredibly good! It’s super interesting that HTML imports would actually be possible (and also that they might be called <rupert> – and include lazy loading)! Thank you guys! 👏

🤩 The latest Safari 26 Beta does not disappoint in terms of #CSS features:
⚓️ Anchor Positioning!
🪄 Scroll-driven animations!
🌯 text-wrap: pretty!
🌈 contrast-color()!
⏲️ progress()!
and more!
And this sentence: “We value the principles of progressive enhancement and separation of concerns.” 😉
Great work, @jensimmons and everyone else involved! 👏

It’s really about time for #RTJ5, don’t you think?
👉🏻🤛🏿
But the good news is that it’s also #MassamanDay 😋
I just realized that today is #CSSYesterday.
Working on a few rough ideas for the redesign of my personal site (– this time for real! 😂) and I think I might be up to something here … 🤔🎛️
I have no idea how to make such knobs accessible, though … 🤔 Maybe range sliders as fallbacks under the hood?
Also, just look at those numerals by @koeberlin 😍
What I’d give to be in Josh Johnson’s head rn 😁🍿
Alright, so … #CSS!
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! 💚
“Legitimate interests is now our legal basis for using your information to improve Meta Products.”
Alright, Zuck. 😂
Here’s what's included:
https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/?section_id=18.4-LegitimateInterestsWeRely
… 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
