👋 my recent contracts have ended (and my buffer’s running a bit thin) so I’m looking for what’s next spent the last year focused on OSS work, which I’ve loved, and now open to new opportunities! if you’re looking for a dev, pls to reach out! I've shared more about how I work below 🫡

Now this looks like an exciting Matrix client!

You: After working another couple hundred hours on it, people will just have to take my project seriously with the next release! Everything else would be lunacy, wouldn't it? People:

The worst thing about consistently following semantic versioning with a v0 project is releasing a minor, that took you weeks or months of work 🙈. Marketing-Effect: Inexistent Even worse if your project is a complex one... The changesets below are for v0.70 and this list is not even complete yet 😅.

OK soft launching eg-grid. A 8.4kb gzip 0-dep bundle you can vendor in to your project and customize as needed. No npm. No versions. No guarantee. derekr.github.io/eg-grid/

Strategies against morning sadness: When I come out of my room at the morning I wiggle around and play Mad Mole on my phone to instantly start the day with some joy 😂 m.youtube.com/watch?v=UZ3U...

What if you could press <Shift> during drag operations to travel up through nested drop targets?

Update: this seems to be a linux specific bug. Not sure yet if it's related to the linux specific Chrome build, KDE, Wayland or some other subsystem 🤔

So native drag and drop in the web does not allow to listen for parallel keydown events? And Chrome for some reason does not properly update ctrlKey and shiftKey states in drag events.. Is nobody using native dnd? How do you differentiate between copy and move, if the keys are not tracked 🤯🤌?

Do you know a trustworthy key logger/visualizer extension for Chrome? I need to show the key strokes in some of my upcoming Chrome screen recordings 🙈.

Solid v2s async capabilities look promising 🥰

Since a couple weeks I slowly stopped posting on Twitter. What a relief to be away from this buggy, manipulative mess.

Sometimes the best things happen by mistake: I started today with the plan to move the dnd wireframe elements into their respective scroll parents. But the current setup actually is way better: You can see the drop target indicator even if it technically is outside the scroll parents boundary 🤯!

Prisma ORM v7.4.0 is out! This release introduces a new caching layer to speed up query execution. We’ve been testing and measuring it internally for a while now, and it’s ready to ship. If you’re running Prisma ORM in production, upgrade today! Full details in the changelog: pris.ly/q9ckZ2x

You'd be smart to hire this guy

The open-source community might need to rethink its dependence on @discord.com. I’m very concerned about @solidjs.com losing members due to the new identification requirement. If we have to pick a new communication platform which one would it be?

Next step: making it work in scroll containers 😬

Glossy drag and drop wireframes, I think this is it 😎.

Trying to come up with a wireframe-ish UX, that helps you to find edges of elements during drag and drop, without resulting in visual stress. A hard problem to tackle 😅..

Thinking about this almost every day 😬

I only repost this because I mainly use Discord for coordination in FOSS projects. FOSS projects should no longer rely on Discord as it clearly shows it's Anti Privacy/Consumer face and only will get worse from here. On Nostr we try to build Discord alternatives, maybe Bluesky should do the same.

The native getBoundingClientRect returns 0,0,0,0 for elements with "display: contents". So I created a custom getBoundingClientRect that calculates the Rect based on the children 😎. The picture shows the resulting rects with hotpink borders. Tell me if I am doing something wrong here 😂

There is one case I am still not sure how to handle: The editor supports so-called "Layouts", collections of elements with no singular root - if you know CSS, think "display: contents". The video shows such a layout with two buttons. Where should the drop indicators render for such layouts 🤔? 1/2

Current state of the reworked toolbar icons and the new drag and drop experience coming with Nitropage v0.70.

I think Bluesky should allow edits and have an edit history (for everybody). The idea that you have to write a post perfectly with one try is essentially against human nature. Humans make errors, but some are willing to learn.

Some of the brightest minds, a heartwarming community, performance, simplicity, innovation, an ecosystem built on love for JavaScript, SolidJS has it all. So lets be honest: The only thing stopping you from adopting it, is that others will adopt it first. 1/3

A new ShadCN port for @solidjs.com 🥳🎉 zaidan.carere.dev

Everybody: Like and subscribe, please like [insert-well-known-project] on npmx, [insert-known-brand] announces new framework! Also everbody: If you are new to FOSS, please don't ask for likes, likes do not matter, just stay consistent and please don't post self-advertisment content here, it's rude!

I think I will do it.

Funny fact: more satellites orbit the planet, than there are highly used foss projects, that are sustainable thanks to volunteer donations.

Looks like a great improvement over CVA. css-variants.vercel.app

Should I actually combine the Select and Move tools into one 🤔? Click = Select Drag = Move

The consistency required to convince people of your open source project grows exponentially with its complexity.

Watching how the Quill richtext editor is slowly dying, makes me really sad 😪. The last update from 2024/12 completely broke the editor for everyone. Many users (including myself) are maintaining forks, because the bug still hasn't been officially fixed. github.com/slab/quill/i...

Migrating the element sorting to @alexreardon.bsky.social's pragmatic drag and drop 😁. - Grid and Flex layouts with gaps will no longer be an issue - An overlay will show the blueprint of the current drop target - Your blueprint components won't anymore need to manually mount drag-and-drop handles

I am usually not the type who makes recommendations for established companies, but recently I worked together with the support of KlickTipp to resolve an issue for a client. The support was super refreshing and dedicated to find a nice solution. I can highly recommend these guys! www.klicktipp.com

Created an issue github.com/atlassian/pr... with the patch that makes Pragmatic Drag and Drop compatible with non-native drag implementations. Let's see if @atlassian.bsky.social considers it. Their repositories seem to be just mirrors and do not to accept contributions 🙈.

Make sure to update your SolidStart projects to v1.2.1, better safe then sorry 😅.

But Fred, we start the party without you, if you are late

Nitro v3 alpha.2: 🔥 Rolldown optimized 📦 Dependencies bundled by default ⚛ React Server Components support (experimental) 🔋 Many more improvements TIP: Upgrade to the latest nitro() plugin with vite@beta (rolldown) and enjoy a seriously mind-blowing performance boost 🚀

Being on Twitter these days feels like talking to a wall, good that we have Nostr and Bluesky as alternatives 😅

What a time to be alive!

Now this is some exciting news 🥳👏, Vidstack and Video.js are combining forces!! www.mux.com/blog/6-years...

I couldn't wait until the next day 🤣... Drag and drop sorting in the color presets, made with.. you guessed it: Pragmatic Drag and Drop 😋. I must say, this thing is really flexible. Next I probably really gonna try to use it for the page elements dragging, those suffer the most from SortableJS 🙈.

Should I switch from SortableJS to @alexreardon.bsky.social's Pragmatic Drag and Drop? Pragmatic is a bit more low level, but could handle gab's in flex and grid layouts way better 🤯💙

Have you already used top level await yet? And in what situation?
