🙋 have you ever _wanted_ to deploy a @nuxt.com site to some provider bc of their features/dx/price but decided not to because of a limitation in nuxt? (would love to know even minor nitpicks or frictions)

Lol not sure about fanfics but there are indeed people writing books with @vscode.dev! Most prolific example I know of is @jaypenner.bsky.social who’s written 16 novels using VS Code 😵

Has anyone been wanting @vscode.dev IntelliSense for #atproto lexicon json files? Cool. @slices.network will have that. Will work on any project though. 🔜

Video is WIP, but wanted to share a side quest I went on adding some of the ideas from @trueadm.dev's Ripple, esp the control flow I've never seen anyone support the execution of inline functions in an `html` tagged template (pls correct me), but this is a *really* cool and powerful primitive y'all

At some point, @vscode.dev made Image Preview the default editor for SVGs. Here's how to change it back to text. 😅

I need some help! I’m working on a YouTube video that explores what it would take to build a web app that, if built today, could last 100 years. It covers tech stack, dev strategies, DX, etc but I need help coming up with a demo. Any fun ideas for a full stack app meant to live for a century??

I’m moving to New York City tomorrow! (My wife starts grad school in September). Current and previous New Yorkers, have any tips, recommendations, do’s/don’ts, fun things we should check out as we get settled?

Super interesting refresh / redirect of Remix 👀 Will now be a @preactjs.com fork with the goal of zero deps, aligned closely with Web APIs, and little-to-no bundling/compiling/typegen Already a big fan of Preact and the work @developit.dev has done on it, so very curious to see how this plays out

First @rich-harris.dev, then @danielroe.dev, then @danabra.mov, and now @ryansolid.bsky.social Loving this theme of the web's experts making dedicated standalone videos about whatever they're interested in or focused on at the moment So much great stuff to glean from these

Today, we're announcing plans to make VS Code an open source AI editor. We believe AI development should stay true to VS Code's core principles: open, collaborative, and community-driven. Let's build the future of software development together. aka.ms/open-source-...

Congrats to @zachleat.com for expanding into the menswear business. Huge!! 🔥

Unidentified men grabbing someone off the street and putting her in a car because she wrote an op-Ed. This as flatly authoritarian as anything we’ve seen in this country in a very long time.

ICE is a modern-day Gestapo

Looks I’m officially starting my @vuejs.org arc (🥳). What should I know, learn, read, watch, etc? Tips? Tricks? Lay it on me. *We (UXEs working on VS Code) have decided this will be our tool of choice for building interactive prototypes.

Today we're thrilled to announce our effort to port the TypeScript compiler and language service to native code, gaining a 10x speed boost in build times and editor responsiveness! devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/t...

i just don’t think i can be bothered with anyone in tech is sticking out on the nazi site. let alone those who come here to claim it’s “better”, for some unthinkable reason

Hey @castrojo.bsky.social curious if there's any openness to shipping Bluefin with VS Code Insiders? I work on the VS Code team and need to be able to use Insiders on the daily, so would love if Bluefin included this by default. 😁 P.S. Huge fan and happy user of the project!

The idea of web component “overhead” is overblown — to even my own surprise! Rendering 1000s of nested WCs is *more* than competitive with the heavyweight champs of the web framework world. We’re talking S/S+ tier perf depending on the initialization method. Cont…

Web Component folks: What’s the current thinking / guidance on how one can and should create a new instance of a WC in JS? Specifically curious about creating elements via `new MyElement()` — is that considered a no-no?

Cool to see `@scope` on this list and the inline style tag demo in this post is really clean, but I was always told that littering inline style tags in the DOM is a web dev faux pas. Are there any legit concerns (perf, etc) for doing this or is this “faux pas” just separation of concerns thinking?

Question for the TypeScript gurus: I have a function that is a factory for classes. The function accepts an array of functions that are attached to the class as methods at runtime. Is there a way to correctly make TS happy with the fact that those passed in functions are using `this`?

Of course it’s a coup. Miss the obvious, lose your republic. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Fun Friday update: I’m now a UX Engineer working on @vscode.dev 🎉 After years of working on/around the VS Code ecosystem, I’m stoked to get the chance to put some love, energy, and design engineering magic into the product itself!

Web components fastest. React slowest. 🤘

Y'ALL. Portable HTML Web Components are fucking cracked. It looks like they are **faster** than the fastest Vanilla JS implementation in the JS Framework Benchmark. I literally reran the benchmark 5 times because I didn't believe it, but every single time they came in first place 🤯

Don’t let anyone ever tell you that web components aren’t performant They can absolutely flyyy 😮‍💨

Does anyone know of any projects/people who are working on novel ways of organizing component/UI code *beyond* class components, function components, and single-file components? Guessing not since classes, functions, and files are the only (??) way of compartmentalizing JS but want to double check

staying focused on any particular area of expertise can feel pretty frivolous these days. i often need to remind myself why i focus on the web— the internet is radical together we can build tools and standards that make the internet more open, accessible, and decentralized

This is such a wildly good video. On the first day I learned CSS in college I wish watching this video is how the lecture started

I realized I should probably share the thing, huh? I share this with the caveat that: - It's an incomplete, evolving document, and; - I'm not an expert, this is just what I'm doing. YMMV. With that, here you go: minamarkh.am/shits-weird/

RIP TikTok. It should’ve been Twitter

Excited by the idea of an AT Proto TikTok, but serious question: don't a lot of the same risks still exist in practice? Namely, it's prohibitively expensive to store video so it's not like *anyone* can just pop up and make a TikTok clone. Who funds that and how does that play out in the long run?

This is a monumental day for the future of the open web, though it might not be obvious for a while. Mastodon matures its governance model with a great, solid non-profit blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/01/the-... and a coalition of independents push to open up Bluesky's AT Protocol: freeourfeeds.com

The success of congestion pricing in NYC makes me wonder why we don't have a price on carbon emissions.

Hey @developit.dev I’ve been reading the Preact source and I’m wondering why you opt to implement classes with ES5-style prototypes? I saw a comment that it has to do with controlling the transpiled output size but hoping you can explain how/why using prototypes makes that possible

I wonder if progressive enhancement would get less hate if it was reframed in modern web framework terms: PE is *literally* hydrating HTML, but the HTML and it's content can provide value and basic functionality on it's own in case hydration fails It's a strategy for more robust hydration/web apps

This essay was so fun to write. I really think everyone should love HTML. It’s given us all so much. As I say, for us digital people, HTML is both paper and the printing press. It’s changed everything, forever.

What would happen if we had a way of defining signals directly in HTML?

need product differentiation? overhire a #CSS front-end team and ask them to: - polish whatever - add delight wherever and watch as your product becomes smooth and buttery while everyone else's gather dust and crust UI is a huge space offering differentiation via quality

Oh well, introducing Swablu, my yet another hard-to-pronounce web client, this time for Bsky. Note that this is very early, experimental and buggy. Feel free to play around https://swablu.pages.dev/ and look at the code https://github.com/cheeaun/swablu

Got to redo the VS Code homepage as part of this announcement! It’s been awhile since some of my work has been public facing so go give it a look ;) P.S. @scottjehl.com your posts on responsive HTML video were a god send. Thank you for making them! 🙏 code.visualstudio.com

Re: Web Components Logo I've created a repo with all the designs that you are free to use and modify as you wish! - Web components logo (color, dark, light) - Custom elements logo (color, dark, light) - Variants inspired by @zachleat.com and @davatron5000.bsky.social - Copy of Figma file

Trust and Safety *is* the product. I'm running out of different ways to say this. 🤷🏿‍♂️

They should put web components in the server

Web Components vs Custom Elements

is that missing corner SSR or

The web moves quick. New #WebComponents logo just dropped, but instead it's #CustomElements (as it should be) 👀

Option D: I've always thought something like this could be a cool version of a #WebComponent logo that still fits within the larger family vanilla web logos.

if lack of a server-side rendering story is what’s held you back from web components, give them a second look
