Not religious but appreciate B&H Photos legit commitment.

If anyone sees any crazy black friday VPS deals.. let me know :)

Welp. My brilliant plan to self-host a number of utilities on Coolify and expose them to the greater-internet via cloudflare tunnels is not as bullet proof as I thought. hmmm github.com/anderspitman...

Poster I designed for the Wakarusa Music Festival in 2015. Also performed at this festival 6 different years as an artist (drums) We put 20 thousand hippies on a mountain in rural Arkansas for a weekend...

Always been good on the vercel pro $20 account. I would get enough traffic to add $10 to my bill here and there.. I try to keep up with the changes vercel makes but this is kinda crazy:

Just wrote about building a live giveaway spinner system for Craft Roulette - a card-making challenge show. Built with Svelte, Directus, OBS Browser Sources, WebSockets & Stream Deck.

Can I post a pink and green sky on bluesky? Un-altered phone camera shot of the sky last night in central USA.

Best thing for my productivity in the past month? This mix: youtu.be/fahqiGL6LUw I am completely addicted to liquid dnb and I don't want help

Built a discussion forum into an existing project- decided to just build it myself instead of trying to integrate 3rd party software. Project already had a full SvelteKit frontend connected to a Directus backend w/ users, data etc. My first time using tailwind w/ a component library (shad)

I just got ultra nerd sniped by youtu.be/QYM3TWf_G38 Quality commentary on the challenges of designing complex user interfaces.

Accidentally unplugged my raspberry pi analytics server while cleaning and started getting error alerts...

Looking at optical thunderbolt cables for the first time...

Woke up early yesterday and decided to cook up a new navigation menu for my blog:

A redditor asked how to implement SSR dark/light mode with cookies to avoid all possible flashes of the wrong theme. Instead of replying directly, I wrote it out as a blog post: jovianmoon.io/posts/ssr-th...

I need help from the Svelte community with a question at the end of this thread. For 2 years I've been working on a SvelteKit project with a friend who lost their son to pancreatic cancer. the11.us (password: edgerton) It's a collection of stories for his kids to know him by.

The way I got into web dev as a kid was through the Quake 1 and Quake 2 communities - mods, clans, planet quake, etc. Quake clans had some of the coolest, most avant-garde, stunning, + advanced sites on the internet. They were nerd passion projects. I still think about the old deathrow.com

I have all the indicators of becoming a model train person when I get older and I'm not sure how I feel about that.

day 1 of switching to home row mods can't capitalize anything yet, keep killing apps by accident via window manager binds still need to dial it in, but i can already tell why home row mods get a lot of hype new config is currently sating my desire to hop to a new board check it out here

Keyboard gods, hear my cry, grant me the strength to close these vendor tabs and accept that my current board is perfectly fine.

Vercel is dropping Node 18.x support. I've got Svelte 3/early SvelteKit projects that work fine as-is. Rather than wrestle with major framework updates, moving them to my basement Coolify server. Here's a thumbnail generator for my mom's (very successful) craft channel a few years ago:

New post! Recent win with Claude Code that saved me from 150+ manual audio recordings. Built a system that auto-generates narration for a memorial site's 100+ articles jovianmoon.io/posts/adding... (the blog post took a lot longer)

I've been a build-it-myself developer for a long time, but here's when I know it's time to give in: if you need a custom <select>, reach for a component library

Producing a live YouTube show tonight with an audience.

I need to write a blog post about all the silly/cool Svelte OBS stream overlays I've made. But for now, here is a quick video of a prize wheel that has been in use for 3 years on a weekly youtube show. It loads / saves data to the central DB and is controlled via websockets triggered by stream decks

me IRL: Getting ready for an event at the end of the month with huge lists of things to do my brain:

Big shoutout to @paolo.ricciuti.me for swooping in like a svelte superhero and whipping the svelte-component-to-image package into shape! No more weird dependency fudgery! It now exports a vite plugin that takes care of it in one step! Had to rewrite the blogpost: jovianmoon.io/posts/genera...

Spent the morning working on Svelte Component to Image - render svelte components as raster images on the fly. There are some tricks to deploying it to serverless, so I wrote a blog post tutorial. This is how I render the OG images for my blog, like the one below! Let me know if you use it.

been working on bingmmo.com - a multiplayer async bingo-like always wanted to make a multiplayer game but I'm too smooth brain for 3d stuff svelte 5 / { ws } / drizzle / postgres / better auth video below is me 'calling actions' + playing, then I spawn 100 bots and bring up the OBS scoreboard

this has happened too many times

I just made a guestbook for a project.

Ok. Building some admin type stuff using tailwind and the new shadcn-svelte and I get it now. The forward momentum it gives you compared to building your own css / components is pretty wild. I've definitely reinvented the wheel too many times to count. It's nice to concentrate on business logic.

26 miles (41 km) on the bike today.

I still type kit. in the browser address bar to try and get to the sveltekit docs 😭

Me building my first full website using tailwind: - the color system is nice - quickly applying things like flex align-center is really nice - the padding / margin units are nice - trying to figure out how to make the classes in the markup more readable.. how do you live like this?

Anyone else using Better-auth with Svelte Kit? I'm setting up a new project with it and it keeps impressing me.. not only does it have a method for everything I've needed, it accomplishes it in just a few lines of code.

Ok... Better Auth is pretty slick.

Question for web developers: What is your preferred way to record / produce videos showcasing websites on a mobile display? I have Screen Studio on a macbook but don't have an iPhone, so I end up using dev tools to emulate the mobile display - it's clunky. Any suggestions? #webdev #mobile

I only own 30 domains. Rookie numbers. Gotta get those numbers up!

Built a small Svelte component that converts Elgato Timestamp logs to YouTube chapter format. Solving my own problem of never adding chapters to archived streams because manual work is tedious. jovianmoon.io/posts/automa... Put everything in a blog post with instructions on how to set up the flow.

Exploring Tailwind and Bits UI. I have resisted tailwind for years. Maybe using it with a component framework will make it make more practical?

Just got a package of goodies from JetKVM (2x +other goodies) Very excited to dig into these bad boys

1st audiobook on Audible: Great! Awesome experience, excited for book 2. 2nd audiobook: Probably great content but HORRIFIC audio quality. How does something with 68K ratings sound like it was recorded with a tin can & wire?

I have a very faithful contributor to my weekly art challenge from Nigeria and I just got a message that they haven't been able to upload for the last few weeks due to network provider changes in their city. This will be an interesting challenge.

Just published an update to the Neovim Svelte Check plugin, ran into some issues where it would fail on certain outputs.. that should be fixed now! github.com/nvim-svelte/...

New blog post: Self-hosting Umami Analytics on a Raspberry Pi with Cloudflare tunnels. A simple weekend project that saves me ~$230/year and runs on hardware I already had. jovianmoon.io/posts/self-h...

Having rolled my own oAuth before, getting oAuth working with pocketbase in ~10 lines of code was a 🤯 moment.

@joshwcomeau.com's CSS reset (I use it in every project at this point) is too advanced for my neovim. 😆 I'm using the vscode css LSP - does this give a warning there too? thank you for the reset, it's fantastic

Mr Tzozin doing a Svelte video is the only 4/1 video I will watch today.

Svelte 5 snippets / inline typescript is so nice, especially when working with generated types from an API. A quick inline type assertion is so concise and local. I used to have to create a helper function to prevent typescript from throwing a fit on funky recursive types.
