reposts appreciated, I'd love to meet some new 3&3 people. Context: 3-3.fyi

Absolutely loving Leaflet so far. If you're interested in thoughts about some of my favourite poems that exist in books that probably only ever had 10 readers and are no doubt now out of print, well, you're in luck (and weird). loanwords.leaflet.pub/3lyyjrxuphs2g

I just stumbled upon this old post from @heydonworks.com about CSS-in-JS: medium.com/@Heydon/css-.... I must say I had a good laugh reading it and maybe even more reading the comments 🙈

Sugarcube conforms to the DTCG format spec for maximum interoperability (among other things). It’s exciting to see the spec evolve and makes me even more bullish about design tokens as the basis for optimised and creative design-dev workflows

Color lovers, I've got a new tool for you to convert, generate and explore OKLCH colors: oklch.fyi/ I like being able to tweak a whole color ramp, adapting chroma to make it more or less vibrant.

‼️ Friends, please pay attention: grep -r "const _0x112" node_modules if you found it, don't panic: update dependency remove npm cache

12 years of PostCSS → 400M+ downloads/month. Lessons from the journey: collaborate early with other maintainers, keep libraries build-free for easier debugging, and focus on simplicity. Great read on OSS longevity 🌟 #OpenSource evilmartians.com/chronicles/w...

Saw an interesting comment by someone. Clicked their profile. Saw that they built this: relisten.net. Now listening to hours of fugazi concerts. Thanks, @saewitz.com

Underrated way to improve your CSS is to patiently read through @css-only.dev's stack overflow posts from newest to oldest

Anyone know any small studios or independent designers who have experience with developer-facing products? Looking for brand design, mainly

Istanbul tip: take the ferry whenever possible.

The old read cv discover page was my go-to for design inspiration and for finding interesting creators to follow. I'm starved for exposure to creative work now. What is the best alternative? Do I have to sign up to arena or whatever it's called?

📙 📗 📘 📕 The History of Themeable User Interfaces: bradfrost.com/blog/post/th... It was an incredible experience to write this piece. It blurs together the history of computers, video games, the web, design systems, and my own existence on this planet.

If design tokens become more popular in frontend development - which I think they will once the theming and architectural benefits become more obvious over time - people will naturally begin to hit up against the limits of utility frameworks

Playing around with tailwind's oxide engine and stumbled on this: Website text content like 'hidden' gets scanned and generates .hidden { display: none }. So if you write a blog post with the word 'hidden' in it, congratulations, you just wrote some CSS

We're now accepting guest authors on Piccalilli! Up to now, we've reached out to guest authors, but we have the systems in place now to ensure quality. Of course, we pay writers too. piccalil.li/guest-author...

I don't suppose I know any Rust developers on here? If you're a Rust dev I'd love to pick your brain about something

Happy with the way the new CLI is coming along. Instead of overwhelming users with a bajillion prompts, it auto detects and follows the recommended path. Pass flags like `--skip plugin` or `--styles-dir custom-dir` to take back control etc.

The video component on the JavaScript for Everyone page is 10/10 satisfying to look at and use. piccalil.li/javascript-f... The actual video itself certainly makes this a tempting purchase!

Pre-orders for JavaScript for Everyone are available now. Get a pre-order copy for £149, saving £100 off the full price of £249 for two weeks only. Pre-orders close again after August 26, 2025. piccalilli.link/js4e-pre-ord...

Constantly surprised that my chill refactor that felt like it removed 1000s of lines actually added +500

The pattern seems to be: 1) encounter problem beyond meagre powers; 2) gnash teeth and give up (this part lasts days and is beyond painful); 3) return and start noodling without any hope or clear plan; 4) noodle some more; 5) start to see a way through

I have a new article out on @frontendmasters.com: get the number of auto-fit/ auto-fill columns in #CSS frontendmasters.com/blog/count-a... Check it out, I can assure you you'll probably learn something new. At the very least that some issues have recently been fixed... 😼

happy eve of the almost half year (which would be july 1, I am a month late)! I wanted to invite folks to drop their renewed intentions here linkdump.connie.surf/untilnewyear they will fade and linger here until the true new year 🎐

The @astro.build dev toolbar API is so much fun

Design token driven development is here! Increases the solidity of your frontend foundations by an estimated 240% 😋

TIL that you can turn on 'show user agent shadow DOM' in DevTools - a real lifesaver if you're doing finicky ::file-selector-button styling and the like. Thanks @bram.us 🙏 www.bram.us/2021/04/15/i...

It's very tempting to use 'muted' as a semantic token for creating text colour hierarchy. And it definitely makes sense in a neutral-heavy palette. But if you need to support maximum themeability, the less semantically loaded 'secondary' won't hamstring you later

Imagine a space built just for creatives. No ads. No algorithms. No BS. Just real connections, real work, real value. That’s OKAY SOCIAL. Creatives, devs, designers, businesses — get in early. Help shape it.

Can't believe I didn't integrate @pkg.pr.new into my workflow sooner

We've got availability at Set Studio this summer! We're wrapping up some great work which we can't wait to show you, but for now check out some of the stuff we've achieved 👇 If you've got a project idea cooking, we'd love to hear it. set.studio or hit me up with [email protected]

We’re trying a rather radical new approach at Piccalilli by doing real world projects — for real clients — in the open. This gives us a context to provide genuine high quality, real world education for free at the point of entry.

The trick isn't to create a design tool that generates websites, but to make development tools designers can actually use

Arc and Dia would be a beautiful pair of names for twins

What are your strong opinions about fallback values in CSS custom properties? Do you find the added cognitive load worth it? Do you even experience it as added load? I'm particularly interested in this in the context of component styles

(D)TDD. (Design-)token-driven development

Is designer-developer skill exchange a thing?

Still room for improvement, but almost happy with the level of detail I'm able to give users about validation errors in their design tokens

I doubt I have any Melbourne-based followers, but if I do, what meetups are you going to aside from MelbJS?

The thing I'm currently building has really pushed me to think hard about the philosophies underlying dev tools, especially the drive you see in a lot of them to eliminate complexity. As we know, that often leads to a kind of trap: quick to start, slow to maintain or extend

Creativity takes courage. Making something and trusting that it will be something takes guts. Does that then make fear the enemy of creativity? And creativity the enemy of fear?

🚀 A very small peek at something I've been working on. Much much more to come in the coming weeks. Cannot wait to share!!

Need a beyond senior design-engineer + design-director + lead front + back-end developer that can jump into any part of your product? Will soon be open for FT, PT, or freelance. (would really appreciate reposting for reach) ( ^_^)／
