One more thing. When I wrote about this study showing one-third of Americans don't drive, people were messaging me saying this cannot be true for LA. In LA County *23 percent* of the population is under 16. Kids are people! We must plan for their movement, just like all nondrivers. Hope that helps!

Thanks to @jakelazaroff.com, I was able to add this to @bookhive.buzz's login page:

i'll go so far as to say that the PDS as a user-controlled auth/storage layer that clients can connect to directly is the single most important part of atproto. requiring application servers would dramatically increase the cost and difficulty of building atproto apps.

interesting article. the flip side is that if LLMs have a 12–18 month lag in their training data, you can get a free year-or-so head start over your peers who rely on them

amazing! now we just need it in the browser 😈

building a typeahead web component has convinced me that we need to standardize reference target, like, yesterday

any a11y folks know how to improve this? is it better to add roles and aria attributes as best i can, or should i wait for actual support for aria across shadow roots?

Yesterday at TPAC I publicized my draft proposal for adding a declarative templating API to the DOM. github.com/justinfagnan... The repo has: 📖 Explainers for the templating API and DOM scheduler API 🏗️ Full prototype implementations ⚗️ a JSX transform ⚛️ a mini React-like framework

threw together a lil web component to add this to any input. super easy progressive UX enhancement for your atproto app! tangled.org/@jakelazarof...

Unable to attend this week's awesome-looking @syncconf.bsky.social, I've decided instead to offer a tribute in the only form I know how: a new open source project. 👐 I believe sync is a fundamental part of modern app development. Hopefully I can help make it easier. Please follow along!

i find most same-genre and adjacent-genre covers boring but the djenty guitar work here is really fun!

Most people see the web as a glorified document viewer, I look it as a malleable computing substrate that has yet to be fully actualized.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

📝 Rather than shouldering the cost to design, build, optimize, and maintain your own implementation of a thing, consider leveraging the browser’s implementation of a thing which is free and (likely) optimized beyond anything you can do yourself. blog.jim-nielsen.com/2025/browser...

all the centrist libs who support cuomo have some introspection to do 😬

Start Implementing View Transitions on Your Websites Today, by @cydstumpel.nl (@piccalil.li): https://piccalil.li/blog/start-implementing-view-transitions-on-your-websites-today/ #css #viewtransitions #javascript #apis

the "no nazi tattoos is a purity test!!" graham platner defenders are obviously whining in bad faith, and you can tell because there are other candidates in the race they've already chosen not to support. oh, so janet mills is too moderate? sounds like a purity test to me!!!

in retrospect, "server" was a bad name. we turned out to be the ones serving them.

This little snippet made debugging view transitions a lot easier

this is so dope! people come up with such amazing ideas when they treat small scales as a creative constraint, rather than a temporary step on the way to massive, industry-defining reach

If you're also considering self-hosting things on your own VPS, I've just published my first ever post on the @ngrok.com blog talking about just that! ngrok.com/blog/self-ho... In writing this I learned that my boss, @joelhans.com, loves desert tortoises and has one as a pet. I leaned into this.

this is super interesting

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

whoa, TIL

update on this, there's a major snag: the reference PDS implementation (which seems to be the one bsky.social uses) won't let you upload a blob that contains the text "<svg" if it's not a valid SVG

heads up NYC folks

atmosphere devs! 🧑‍🚀 just published a protocol checkin: docs.bsky.app/blog/protoco... tl;dr expect to see a lot of updates from us in the next few months. we're hard at work on making AT easier to build on & ensuring the network remains a resilient foundation for the future of open social

something neat i've been playing around with lately: static file hosting on atproto. this website is hosted from my PDS!

i have never and will never make a profit reselling tickets to concerts i can no longer attend. music is sacred and i refuse to be the reason someone can't afford to see their favorite artist.

exactly how i feel. AI is very useful in certain limited contexts! it is neither panacea nor plague; the unhinged hype cycle is exhausting.

man @rich-harris.dev was really cooking with that "optimize for vibes" tenet. there's no shortage of things i wish svelte would do differently, but i keep coming back to it. every attempt to make another framework my default choice has failed. the vibes are just too good.

it's endlessly weird to me that people like this consider me an AI skeptic because i "only" think it's moderately useful rather than, like, believing it will one day become a god

javascript gets most of the hate but the thing that *actually* makes your app complex is the database

Container queries and CSS make it simple to smoothly transition an element to the other side of its parent container without knowing exact dimensions or distance. Read more in my latest post: ryanmulligan.dev/blog/transit...

huh, i was under the impression that private data in atproto was tricky for protocol reasons. turns out that's mostly about *shared* private data (e.g. DMs, posts visible to a specific group of people). *personal* private data (e.g. drafts, bookmarks) is actually fairly simple.

view transitions are ridiculously good

inherit() is going to be absolutely huge for working with CSS custom properties. Two big things it'll enable: Nested indentation: --indent: calc(inherit(--indent, 0) + 1); Overridable design token defaults: --primary-color: inherit(--primary-color, blue);

Pretty huge, Lit is no longer tied to Google #freelit lit.dev/blog/2025-10...
