If you decide to use Tailwind v.4, remember that 7% of the world population won't see your CSS at all. This is because those using older devices or Windows 7 will likely be using outdated browsers. This came up while looking at oklch() support. github.com/tailwindlabs...

Well, I guess this AI thing is not going away, right? www.builder.io/blog/hire-fo...

There was a time when jQuery was no longer part of my workflow. Now, probably it's time to un-SCSS too. The only thing I still use from SCSS is nesting, and it appears that CSS is handling that well now. css-tricks.com/is-it-time-t...

Did you see this AI-created movie: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOcJ... Not bad at all for $600. Yes, the visuals are off, and everything feels plasticy, but for a quick prototype, it is very good. The story is also interesting.

Super cool explanation of how to create a liquid glass effect in a browser. All physics included: kube.io/blog/liquid-...

Storybook 10 features breaking changes, defaults vs named exports, and safe array methods in JS. React Bits offers extensive and highly customisable animated components. In the CSS world, there are posts about colour shifting, holo effects, corners and anchors. www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

This is a handy list with all the latest CSS features from the last few years. nerdy.dev/cascading-se...

New video on Svelte's best kept secret feature which helps you find any element on the page in the editor. 🔥 youtu.be/Qglbt8M8H_w

Bending Spoons buying Vimeo. I'm so outdated. First of all, Bending Spoons based in EU, also they already aquired Evernote, WeTransfer and Meetup. That is bummer. I hoped Evernote will stay independent :/ www.theverge.com/news/775701/...

So, there is no big AI news from Apple this year?

city of london is the best skyscraper district on earth because seemingly the only planning rule they have is “you can build whatever you want so long as it looks stupid and different to everything else”. it works so well!

I took one month off the FE news update in three years. It was refreshing, and I had a busy holiday in between. Now I'm back and trying to sort out all the updates. 🙂  www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

Not exactly a picnic weather.

Despite a busy week and hot weather, I managed to skim a few good posts. A very clever approach to state management using JavaScript proxies, the newly decoupled and open-source Auth.js, and a fully functional Tic-Tac-Toe game built with just CSS, www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

Wow Cassidy is such an inspiration! 🙌 Check out this app 🔥

I used to think that the English language was complex, but those Irish names beat that. Never mind Siobhan (prono: Shiv-on), but today I learn about the name Meadhbh. It's like somebody threw random letters, and you pronounce it as 'Meyv'. :)

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

The scroll-driven letter grid by Chris is fun to read, and Safari jumps from V19 to V26 with 67 new features and other good posts in the #frontend world. www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

Did you see the Liquid Glass design yet? Luckily, over the last two weeks, there were plenty of other things to dive into, such as Rolldown-Vite, Temporal API, and Lumon updates (which is my favourite!), and you can now get PHP in Node. www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

There is only one issue: once you start using OKLCH() in your web, you won't go back to RGB or HEX. Be warned. evilmartians.com/chronicles/e...

I only recently binge-watched Severity, and this #Svelte talk is simply excellent. You will learn about animations and all done in a proper Lumon way. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yuQ...

What a busy two weeks in the #frontend world. There are so many good reads, and some already feel very old. Happy Friday, happy reading! www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

If's funny but even in 2025 I still have to download Mini Calendar on MacOS as the default sucks. apps.apple.com/us/app/mini-...

I'm intrigued about this last character wrap for Figma's Sites. <div>Figma's Site<span>s</span></div> So far, I can't find any reasonable explanation. Could it be a bug or some special styling case?

hahaha that's so good. I love it!

Svelte just released an improved version of actions named attachments which are element-level lifecycle functions you can use to work with the DOM directly. 🔥

Last two weeks were quite busy at my end but still manage to scramble quite a few good #Frontend posts. There is one about Biome, and a very deep dive on how JS works in single thread. Also, Clippy is back :) Happy Friday! www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

This is pretty accurate comicss.art/comics/183/

When I used only React, I didn't notice how cumbersome it is. You have to worry about state management, useEffect() and dependency list, memo() etc. Once tried Svelte I realise there is no need for all that. But look, somebody will use AI Powered State management. :) thenewstack.io/frontends-ne...

I've stumbled upon posts about negative experiences with Next.js and Vercel lately. Those posts are often about price jumps on Vercel, cache magic in Next.js, and the general slowness of the app. In any case, the author didn’t check the SvelteKit. (just joking) hardcover.app/blog/part-1-...

Kevin created video about Figma's Sites and somehow that reminded me about Dreamviewer. Somehow magical, but once you look closer, completely useless :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsFI...

NaaS - No As A Service, that post itself is brilliant, but there are also about SolidJS, Vibe Coding, WebGL gradients, CSS only glitch and quite a few more posts for this week's #Frontend newsletter. www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

i’m sorry i don’t usually repost this kind of stuff but this is just so funny. there’s an intangibility to it..

Remember that time we were all begging for an AI in our messaging app? ....Me neither.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

Excellent accessibility overview for #frontend devs. Despite its basic nature, it covers most of any web need. martijnhols.nl/blog/accessi...

Happy Easter! Another great collection of posts for #Frontend. Anim.js 4.0 looks fantastic, Deno vs. Oracle is still on, the h1 will change, an example of the Item Flow, the CSS shape() function, and more. www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

Geez, Anime.js 4.0 is out, and the web is beautifully crafted! Very tempted to play with it and make something in Svelte animejs.com

CSS currentColor is really useful with SVG, when you have the same SVG icon but need different colours for some silly reason: frontendmasters.com/blog/using-c...

I don't think vibe coding is good or bad. It depends. For example, in less than 5 minutes, I created a Chrome extension to hide ads on X, installed it, tested it, and it works.

✍️ New Article: First Look at The Modern attr() I explored the new attr() capabilities and shared my thoughts about it. Happy reading! ishadeed.com/article/mode...

Happy Friday! Loads of news in the #Frontend world, starting with Safari, Astro and Vue updates, bug-hunting stories, CSS-only carousels and the 37-signals Cloud Exit journey. www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

If you are using Next.js this is for you eduardoboucas.com/posts/2025-0...

I extended my experimentation with the CSS holographic effects, now with 7 new images and gradients ✨ The effect doesn't work on iOS Safari, so I've attached a video too 😊 #CSS

Happy Friday! The bi-weekly #frontEnd is here. The main news is on Typescript, but there is also a good post about relative colours, a relaxing driving game, and more. www.shvarcs.com/news-archive...

I played with the OKLCH() colours last week. It was a fun journey, so I created a quick post about it to solidify my learning. If you have never used OKLCH, check the post; you might find it useful. Or not. You never know. www.shvarcs.com/thoughts/col...

Some time ago, I tried to figure out what all this hype about different colours, like oklch, hsl, and color-mix, was about. What's wrong with hex and RGB(), right? Until I needed support dark/light, hover and base from one colour. :) It's probably time for another blog post to jot that journey.

Oh man, that was an interesting experience. Have you ever tried to get a refund from MS? There is such a dark pattern on the web. Whatever you search, it circles back to "Cancel Subscription" and not Refund. Long story short - I just requested a callback. It took me 30 mins to sort that out.
