SPFx 1.22 feels like a “2.0” release: new build chain, Heft migration, lots of moving parts. I wrote up a reproducible, AI-driven upgrade flow (risk assessment → upgrade branch → acceptance build → full docs) + a copy/paste prompt. n8d.at/ai-driven-sp...

Fun, informative read | "Mythbusting: Image Accessibility in SharePoint" by @stfbauer.bsky.social. Get a closer look at how modern SharePoint handles images and accessibility, including the importance of ALT text when using the Image web part. Bust that myth! n8d.at/mythbusting-...

SharePoint + AI can build pages fast. It can also amplify bad patterns just as fast. I wrote a guide for site authors on using the Image web part accessibly – image links, lightbox, captions, “open in new window”, all the spicy bits. 🔗 n8d.at/sharepoint-i... #SharePoint #Accessibility #a11y

GDrive is the Windows 95. You upload a document with a long name and it replaces it with "MyFile~1.docx". The you have to go in and rename the file and everthing works fine. Sure you don't need to write you life's story in the filename, but a behaviour like this in 2025?

🏆 Celebrating a decade as a Microsoft MVP! 🏆 I am thrilled to announce that after 10 years, I have achieved again the Microsoft MVP in M365 Development. This year brought an extra special honor as I also received recognition in Web Development. Thank you Microsoft #mvp #webdevelopment #m365

Too all the NodeJS developers out there. I found a really usefull tool to check if a number is-even with AI. Especially usefull when you try to create a random number, because it is statistically 50% right and 50% wrong. www.npmjs.com/package/is-e...

Four years ago I started to implement hTWOo using gulp as the engine driver to compile CSS. see: lab.n8d.studio/htwoo/ For now I have a custom build chain for SASS, TS and a hot reloader. I call it ICE. ice-build: www.npmjs.com/package/@n8d... ice-hotreloader: www.npmjs.com/package/@n8d...

Sorry what do I need to agree too. Great User Experience and design. Seems like I need to agree to the small print or just an empty list. 🤔

6 years ago i created a real mega menu for a customer. Now working on a mild relaunch and use some new CSS features to make the navigation more flexible. Pretty amazed how far #css and feature rich it has become. The rest of the navigation code still looks really ancient tbh.

Intereseting I can inspect SPFx application directly in the teams application by simply right click and inspect. I wonder when this happend. No to teams in browser but directly in the app.

One step further: Step 5 in progress

But an !!important trick.

In SharePoint Framework something interesting happens, when you burry your SASS files 3 levels deep suddenly you code start to work. If not you might end up with an error message that looks like this: > CssSyntaxError (2:1) Unclosed block This is because #SPFx does some ugly string manipulation.

Since we all have nvm, fnm or other things to run multiple versions of node. I created a small script that lets you sync global installed dependencies from one nodeJS version to another. Add global packages from my node 20 to the newly installed 22. #nodejs

You know when your developer has dangerous CSS knowledge when you find code like this. The only thing missing: ‼important. 🤦‍♂️ All font-* attributes and text-* and line-* are inherated by default from the parent container. So if you do it again, no harm but useless and bloated code too. ##css

Well haven't you seen in a while. > object [object] #spfx

Fully automated upgrade to SPFx 1.20 using M365 cli and Github Copilot. Of course it has even a rollback option. #SPFx

I'm not sure our best practices for responsive & fluid #CSS typography are actually *the best*. On my own site, using the widely accepted approach, a user preference of 16px gives me ~24px font. A pref for 24px gives me ~36px. Where did we go wrong? https://www.oddbird.net/2025/02/12/fluid-type/

That was fun - Was able to use CSS custom properties in media queries. So I can set the breakpoint based on dynamically evaluated width, which then shows up the mobile version of something ❤️ #CSS

👀 brb, just working my way through 759 lines of CSS to find the right custom property (design token) to use. If you want to easily find the right design decision in your codebase, check out this article on "Organising Outputs with Style Dictionary". www.alwaystwisted.com/articles/a-d... 🙏🖤
