You wouldn't believe how many edge cases exist in autoscrolling of time synced lyrics UI. How big is the autoscroll zone? Someone scrubbed the progress bar? Oops, the user is in the zone but scrolling! Etc. Really happy with my recent improvements!

Wrote about some of the gotchas with CSS @layer blog-tryggvi.fly.dev/blog/css-lay...

Marquees.. Love them or hate them. Probably the latter! There are niche places for them, but are tricky to implement in an accessible and performant way on the web. blog-tryggvi.fly.dev/blog/perform...

Wrote my first blog post yesterday! blog-tryggvi.fly.dev/blog/thought...

Bluesky doesn't penalize you for using links, tags, using key words like Patreon or commissions, and doesn't have a central algorithm on your following feed, which means all the power rests on you to help your favourite creators be seen!

Finally some improvements to GitHub review ui! I've been unhappy with it for so many years! I really hope it's virtual scrolled now, that's just table stakes in 2025. github.blog/changelog/20...

Happy "European Accessibility Act goes into effect" week to all who celebrate

New release of github.com/tryggvigy/es... is out! Now also available via npx 🎉 Try it on your repo: `npx @esm-checker/checker -p ./package.json` Or analyze any npm package at: esm-checker.fly.dev

Finally got the cross compilation and npm publishing of @esm-checker/checker working in Github Actions! It's getting close to being able to be used by anyone to check a whole repo. Created a few issues to follow up github.com/tryggvigy/es... also need to write docs

Just deployed esm-checker.fly.dev it can check the ESM readiness of any npm package 📦 I have lots of improvements in mind, and a npm package version to check a whole repo at once coming up 🎉

Working on something that I think could be useful. It's like bundlephobia.com for ESM readiness. Do you think this could be helpful?

Attacks on vibe-coding have begun. LLMs sometimes hallucinate and install non-existent packages. As a result, attackers have started publishing malicious packages under these hallucinated names, which frequently appear in AI-generated suggestions. socket.dev/blog/slopsqu...

Not so impressed by Gemini. Ive gotten used to LLMs doing a better job. In fact chatGPT made short work of this

Creating a performant marquee component is really tough!

A new version of github.com/tryggvigy/ps... is out! It now ESM-only, has zero dependencies, and is split into `pseudo-localiztion` and `pseudo-localization/dom`. It's also over 100% smaller (1.5Kb) 🤓

Pretty much

Bloc Party is such a good band. I keep re-realising this every few years

this that vibe I'm always looking for

Really enjoying being back in Iceland over the holidays. Driving all the time and singing in the car 🎶

I was reading @kizu.dev awesome CSS experiment with kizu.dev/fit-to-width/ and immediately saw a use-case for our headers at work. But we need to 1. fit to the block axis as well, and 2. ideally support line-clamp too. I took a stab at 1. and got it working. codepen.io/tryggvigy/pe...

Every now and then I get blown away by someone's depth of knowledge in CSS and their willingness to share the magic with the rest of us dev.to/janeori/css-... by @janeori.bsky.social

@samwho.dev makes these amazing interactive teaching articles about programming concepts, you should check it out! samwho.dev

If anyone is using the Behringer X32 mixer this might be useful github.com/tryggvigy/x3... Rust port of the official python2 script from 2017. Extracts wav for each channel in the recording

We are upgrading our practice/gig setup and I'm so excited about it!

Did you know that custom functions in Google Sheets support wasm? Imagine all the possibilities 🤓

I want to write a few tech posts but don't really know where to start! I feel like i could share a few things that might help others people. But I also don't want to spend too much time or effort on here even though.
