While writing new features for anibookquotes.com I had to write an API call that verified the volume id the AI gave because it kept hallucinating and stored bad IDs in supabase. AIs are like GPS. You're always in better hands when dealing with someone who uses it as a tool rather than a crutch.

In preparation for beginning work on a major new feature for anibookquotes.com, I’ve moved it from my VPS to Vercel. Hopefully this feature will drive engagement. It uses AI, stay tuned.

Today I’ve updated Ani Book Quotes, a LASZ PWA, to use the Web Share API for a more native experience on mobile devices. Now, even if you aren’t using the Android app, you can share quotes and get the native share experience from your phone if it supports it! Checkout anibookquotes.com

I’ve created a scaffolding tool for you to easily bootstrap your own LASZ app. Just run “npm create lasz-app” on the command line to get started. More to come!

A new blog. Lit is better than React. dev.to/hasanirogers...

Sass vs Vanilla CSS, which one do you prefer?

I’ve published changes to the LASZ Todo App. It now includes Supabase integration and rocks the Lazy logo. I’ll be adding even more later! stackblitz.com/~/github.com...

The LASZ stack logo has been completed. Look at that lazy cat.

I’m working on a logo for the LASZ stack y’all.

Happy Valentine's Day. For all you single devs out there, get a free single from Wendy’s.

Did you know I have a design system? I use it mainly for prototyping. Some of the components are really old and should probably be rewritten but I did make a thing and still work on it from time to time. kemet.dev

I’m working on a LASZ stack demo. Check it out. It has a Zustand Reactive controller for Lit that auto subscribes/unsubscribes to avoid memory leaks. Blog, Talks, YouTube Tutorial, Supabase integration, a11y support, is all to come later. stackblitz.com/~/github.com...

Devs, let's share some horror stories about working with vibe code from other devs.

I released a new blog but this time I also released a YouTube video that accompanies it. If you’re a developer who’s interested in working with Lit check this out. I’ll walk you through a simple dark mode toggle. youtu.be/5RTU19mIbyI

Did you know you can write media queries like this now? youtube.com/shorts/0gDhK...

Correction: The name of the stack I’m going to start promoting is LASZ (pronounced as lazy). Lit. Astro. Supabase. Zustand. I might even give a conference talk about it somewhere.

Are web components a thing yet? Share this with grumpy non-believers. arewebcomponentsathingyet.com

I asked Gemini about performance between Lit’s use of Shadow DOM vs React’s virtual DOM. In short, Lit has better performance because it’s based on web standards. React has familiarity from devs.

Why is Tailwind for devs who are bad with CSS? Wrong answers only.

I have a new blog up where I discuss centering the DOM as your component model with Web Components. Check it out. deificarts.com/blog/embraci...

Who said developers can't be creative?

I’m reforming my brand strategy for Deific Arts LLC in 2026. This time I want it to be personal and all about coding rather than a neutral, faceless, and professional brand. I have plans for my online presence. Stay tuned.

@deificartsllc.bsky.social I want to coin a term for my go to tech stack. The SAWZ stack. Supabase. Astro. Web Components. Zustand. I’ll probably blog about it.

I just released Kemet v4.1.0 and it comes with a cool typewriter element. Check it out! kemet.dev/docs/?path=/...

Made a post about embracing web standards again with web components. dev.to/hasanirogers...

One of the little things I like about working with Astro and Web Components over Next and React is the very clear distinction between what's running on the server vs client.

Who else finds working with refs in React to be strange and unnatural?

Once these technologies enjoy major browser adaptation, developers are going to start catching on to the fact that you don’t need to write 200 lines of Javascript to get an accessible carousel. People came to realize that you don’t need jQuery. The same is going to happen with the likes of React.

Using slots to compose components with web components is more enjoyable than React's children.

Built with Astro and Web Components, my new portfolio site has all 100 lighthouse scores! hasanirogers.me

I’ve been working with both Astro and Next lately and I must say, I like Astro much better.

I updated Kemet UI's doc site. I'm rather happy with the new design. It's now built on #AstroJS kemet.dev

Hey book lovers, I made an app for you. anibookquotes.com Ani Book Quotes is social media for book lovers. Post, like and share quotes from your favorite books. Members get access to additional features. It’ll be coming to Google Play and maybe Apple App Store later.

Happy New Years folks. I've been hacking a way at a secret app I've been building that's powered by Lit and #webcomponents. I'm learning a lot by building this thing (it accepts payments with Stripe on the backend) and I'll be writing about it in my blog in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

One of the things I love about working with #WebComponents is style encapsulation with Shadow Dom. I feel it lets you focus on semantics properly. I do not like the “throw a class on everything” approach to styling. Lit’s ability to reflect a property to style on as an attribute is bliss.

Playing around with #webcomponents and Astro. Integration is easy but I'm sad v5 is dropping Lit support.

I love when I see #designsystems compared to legos. Legos are so fun.

Interested in using #webcomponents in #nextjs? I've updated Kemet UI with integration guides and among them is Next. kemet.dev

Interested in using #webcomponents in #react 19 and higher? Checkout Reactbox for a demo: stackblitz.com/~/github.com...

I'm going to be posting a series of integration repos that shows how to integrate Web Components in different technologies like React and NextJS. Eventutally I'll update the docs for Kemet UI with documentation on this. I might even blog about it. Stay tuned!

I'm glad my design system, Kemet UI, is seeing more weekly downloads on npm. www.npmjs.com/package/keme...

The amount I need to scroll to get to my birth year while signing up for these apps is scary. 😅
