Is there a super simple, user-friendly version of a tool like Doodle to quickly set up a poll for agreeing on times, so nobody needs to log in and it’s hassle-free? calendly is already too much, just want to pick two times send a link and done.

My talk, "When #Figma and #CSS Layout Meet", from @smashingconf.com Antwerp is now on YouTube! I dive into the common issue of designers and developers having different mental models for layout—especially grids—which can lead to misunderstandings. Watch here: youtu.be/SDXCC3D7cTE?...

Added the chapter outline to thesolo.io! If you’re interested in building your own digital product and running it as a company-of-one, let me know if there are any additional topics you’d like to see covered. The goal is to create a super hands-on guide to help you dive right in and start building.

Shoutout to @weyweyweb.bsky.social for the solid and honest breakdown of the numbers, facts, and figures. And a massive thank you to everyone who showed up and shared their feedback—finding out my talk was rated second out of all the sessions was definitely a highlight!

Tech Help Needed: #SSL Setup 🔧 Using Kajabi + @cloudflare.social domain via Godaddy. GoDaddy insists on an expensive, complex SSL setup, but doesn’t Cloudflare do that? Looking for a reliable person to walk me through this once and for all (happy to pay!). Any insights or recs?

how do people live with this, you can't see anything!

🚀My talk from Wey Wey Web Málaga is live! "Understanding Layout Between UI Design and Code". Designers and developers often have different mental models for layout, leading to misunderstandings. Let’s bridge the gap, understand each other’s tools and limitations, and bring designs to life as a team.

oh Europe...you worry me so much and I still love you!

Got this lovely little badge from @skillshare.bsky.social ! They added me to their Top Teacher Program, which includes the top 2% of teachers on the platform. Still can’t believe this all started 3 years ago from 0, when my freelance work got cancelled, and I decided to make an online course

Thank you, @weyweyweb.bsky.social, for having me! I had a great time!

I just received an email from an official German office saying they will soon start sending mandatory digital invoices (crazy stuff!). But, in order to do so, I need to sign a document giving my permission and send three copies back, either by mail or fax. It’s sort of cute and worrying.

Thank you sooooo much I had a blast!!!!

Thank everyone for joining my Figma prototyping workshop during @weyweyweb.bsky.social

An intense yet incredibly rewarding workshop led by Christine Vallaure (@christinevallaure.bsky.social). The perfect opportunity to learn how to create dynamic, interactive prototypes in Figma. #WeyWeyWeb24

Love this little Figma update where you can select a variable using the eyedropper, and not just the hex code of a color as before. Keep these updates coming @figma.com!

See you next week in Málaga at Wey Wey Web Conference, where I’ll be giving a talk and hosting two workshops! The Prototyping workshop is sold out, but there are still a few spots left in my Figma Deep Dive. Don’t forget to say hi! www.weyweyweb.com #wwweb24 @weyweyweb.bsky.social

I'm available for speaking gigs in 2025, if your conference or team is interested in talks/workshops on #CSS! I love to go in-depth on the classics –cascade, grids, alignment, etc. But I can also teach the new hits: container queries, colors, layers, :has(), et al. Let's get scheduled!

LinkedIn locked my account AGAIN for absolutely no reason, and it’s taking ages for support to respond. This is my main platform for communication and followers, and I would definitely not recommend it to anyone.

Had an amazing time at @btconf.bsky.social in Berlin—a truly magical place! Huge thanks to @marcthiele.bsky.social for inviting me to speak, making it all happen, and putting your whole heart into it—it really shows.
