It's really sad that Chrome laid off one of the world's best CSS developer-designers, and now they have to fake demos of web features. youtu.be/d8J0vs-bEPE?...

Introducing ✨ Standard JSON Schema ✨ It's a sister spec to Standard Schema that provides a common interface for any entity that can be converted to JSON Schema

StandardSchema now supports a new interface to generate JSON Schemas ! 🙌 I started working on a StandardCodec RFC, for bidirectional data type transformation (which encompasses (de)serialisation), like what @zod.dev codecs & Effect schemas can do. Could be a sign to push it a little further 👀

Hey @tylerjfisher.com I’ve been using @sill.social for ages now and it’s great, but I’ve had an issue for the last few months where my auth session doesn’t seem to persist, so I have to log in every time I use it. Is this on your radar?

now in early-access/alpha/beta/gamma/whatever-you-wanna-call-it. here's a walkthrough: youtu.be/IP6EZXzXBzY

The problem with adding "help wanted" issues on @github.com is that people just feed those to their agent, and loop over PR review comments like drones 🫠 I don't have a problem with using AI, but submitting vibe-coded slop is wasting everyone's time. I doubt this will be enough, but it's a start:

📝 I'm a curmudgeon for doing menu items without icons (unless you can give a good reason to include them). And apparently Apple used to recommend the opposite of what they now do in Tahoe. blog.jim-nielsen.com/2025/icons-i...

Introducing 🤯 flex-wrap: balance 🤯 Would you use this? ⚠️ Not a real feature yet, just something one of our engineers has been working on. (You can try it out in the latest Chrome Canary with the experimental web platform features flag though!)

Going to let you in on a lil secret: island architecture is a hook for new Astro users, but it’s not why devs stay. The client framework support was largely a consequence of good abstractions. After using Astro, you realize what a relief it is to work *with* the grain of the web again.

Agreed! So many of the technical blog posts I see have random stock photos or AI-generated images, and it sorta makes the whole blog feel generic and cheap. You don’t need a cover image. My blog doesn’t use cover images.

how does @nx.dev turn a profit if the CEO is always wearing shirts with such complicated patterns?

BIG DAY 😇 Introducing Standard Schema! It’s a specification for a standard interface to be implemented by TypeScript schema libraries. The goal is to make it easier for frameworks and tools to accept user-defined schemas, without writing separate adapters for different libraries. standardschema.dev

Love the web. Just think of the most random idea, "a mechanical keyboard but the caps are scrabble tiles," one google later and find out someone else actually had the same mad idea and whats more actually made it. incredible stuff @cassidoo.co - cassidoo.co/post/scrabbl...

Using clip-path with min()/max() and custom properties is such a clever way to do this: css-tricks.com/the-little-t... Side note, it’s so nice to be linking to a genuinely good CSS-Tricks article again.

This is pretty cool: git-wrapped.com Not sure how the stars are calculated, seems way too high.

Ok I know nobody cares about this but me, but GOD I care: 1. I have just downloaded your app. 2. You want me to make an account. I don’t want to make an account! 3. When I enter my email, you inform me that I already have an account! This seems like a good thing, but I know it means only pain. 1/2

For me, the most incredible artefacts from the ancient world are the letters people wrote on clay tablets and sent to one another over thousands of years in Mesopotamia, going back to more than 5,000 years ago. They contain recognisable humanity, warmth and humour. Here's a thread of my favourites.

New: Texas AG Ken Paxton has subpoenaed 404 Media for confidential reporting about an internal Google privacy incident database we published in June.

Ref Callbacks got an upgrade with React 19, and the presence of the React Compiler has further changed my thinking about using useCallback for those in some situations. tkdodo.eu/blog/ref-cal... Thank you @gsathya.bsky.social for starting the discussion about this 🙇‍♂️
