My gosh, I need this Lego set. www.lego.com/en-gb/produc...

Merry Christmas you beauties.

It's that time of year again! Let's have a look at the deals we, and our much loved community are offering this year. It's the most important time of year for independents, so let's give them our support 💛 piccalil.li/links/black-...

Tickets bought. Let's go!

Spending my weekend playing Pokémon cards, playing Pokémon Z-A, and building warhammer. Mate I’m so cool. Younger me would be so jealous.

I bought this so you should too. Added to the backlog!

It's here. JavaScript for Everyone is now available to…everyone! The amount of effort and experience packed into this course is unbelievable and we know you're going to love it. Get yours for £189, down from £249, for 2 weeks and super-charge your career prospects piccalilli.link/js4e-launch-...

Anyone got any good alternatives to Notion? I use it mostly for sharing client information and the odd kanban, but I keep finding it really messy to organise/find information.

Fuck, my site isn't compiling? What the hell did I do? How have I broken something? Shit! Shit!... 1 hour later… Oh, there's a random "F" in the config.

Spent the whole weekend working on a project for an agency that the developer just walked out on right before the deadline. Bloody tired, but this was not a good way to leave the site.

Moving off Next.js to Astro for new work, but man those legacy sites are just staring at me, feel like my old work is judging me.

This new macOS update is pure dog shit init.

Accidentally set my site to noindex for a month, ouch.

Think I'm finally covering from a week-long wedding. How do I code again?

Look mum, I designed* an unhinged conference website: webdevconf.com Also, buy tickets to the conference please. * and by designed, I mean I threw up on a Figma file and @alexolder.com interpreted that into this beautiful monstrosity

A bit late in life, but, I passed me bloody driving test.

Oh my gosh, Sublime Text now lets me put the sidebar on the right. Switching back.

Spent the evening last night finishing off the Lego Brad-dur. This thing is bloody huge.

Spent a weekend celebrating my birthday to now be hit by a cold. Boo.

Improving the blog with a new code segment which can switch language and copy to clipboard.

Bring back the `<marquee>` element.

Disappointing how bad this is.

Hope everyone had a lovely long weekend, I ended up playing Board Games, Magic The Gathering, and overloading on food. Needless to say, slow start today!

Wrote a little bit of a write up on how to access the new CKEditor options for Longform Content in @craftcms.com. Any questions let me know! #craftcms #headless #graphql https://jackwhiting.co.uk/posts/parsing-ckeditor-longform-content-in-craft-cms-with-graphql

Booked tickets to go see modernlove. on my birthday this month. Let's go!

I'm actively looking for new #freelance / #contract opportunities starting in May. If you want someone who loves #frontend, #craftcms, #shopify, #react, #laravel and more, I'm your guy. Especially if we're building sweet commerce or brochure sites. Website: https://jackwhiting.co.uk#freelance#contract#frontend#craftcms#shopify#react#laravels!

Need to dust off my camera before heading to Leeds this week. Haven't had time to take any photos recently, and I miss it dearly.

🕛 Today is the last day to submit your talk for this year's Front End North - the CfP closes at midnight. See frontendnorth.com/blog/2025/03... for full details and how to apply.

Reminder to clean your computer fans. I don’t want to say there was a carpet or dust on my fans, but yeah, clean em!

For my Whimsical Animations course, I’m adding the ability to download code playgrounds. That way, students can use their local IDE to work on the exercises, if they would prefer. Just made the animated icon for it. What do you think?

Bah! Not how I want to be ending my Friday, getting stuck on a problem with GraphQL in Craft CMS... This is going to keep bothering me all weekend.

Damn, I'm obsessed with Sleep Token at the minute and this release is another beauty. https://song.link/i/1800533715

Hotel all sorted for @heypresents.com next week. Super hyped now!

React Compiler release candidate is out. https://react.dev/blog/2025/04/21/react-compiler-rc Nice to see this getting close. Will hopefully make the output better and smaller. #react #frontend

Need to start taking this advice. I have so many posts in drafts/unfinished states and I never get them out as I "don't have time".
