We have a unique opportunity with npmx. We're building something very special together. I want to give myself the chance to focus on helping steward the project. I'm going to be working as an independent open source developer this year. Support my work and help me focus on npmx long-term 🙏

we're 100 contributors in 10 days in the repo.npmx.dev 🙌 join us! let's build together the browser for the npm registry we deserve!

It feels like the entire internet is working at @npmx.dev 👀

The better npm site got warnings on packages that should be avoided yesterday. Big thanks to the @e18e.dev community for making that easy!

npmx don't tell anyone 🤫

Are you coding too much? Take a break! gifrequest.com

UTM tags in shared links are the silent privacy killer.

Proud to announce TechConf.Directory, a directory of tech conferences around the globe. I've found it quite difficult to find conferences. That is true no more! I've made all the data fully open and available via a fully queryable API as well. techconf.directory #Conferences #Tech #Programming

I'm experimenting with the SpeechSynthesisUtterance API and wondering who decided the world needed built-in browser text-to-speech with options like an Italian grandma's voice. It's hilarious! Thank you!

This is the way.

Saying that a product "uses AI" is irrelevant on its own. It’s like advertising that an application is "flexbox-first". As a user, I don't care about what you use under the hood. What matters is the value you deliver and the problems you solve for the end user.

There's something about HTML attribute types that I find very realistic. The selected attribute of the select option is... Boolean-ish! It's like whatever. Relax!

GIFs are the most advanced form of communication.

That one time I used AI so I wouldn't look like an old man yelling at the clouds, and I ended up yelling at the clouds.

My small gtag.js package has no more issues (for now), and is gaining stars and npm downloads. Kinda feels good! github.com/MatteoGabrie...

Repetitive work is what led us to create libraries, frameworks, metaframeworks, CLIs, and all sorts of tools. Don't always depend on AI for repetitive tasks; instead, abstract them and make them accessible to everyone. That’s what fuels innovation.

Microsoft doesn't have enough electricity to install all the AI GPUs in its inventory. Pop!

Completely hooked on Arc Raiders!

@remix.run getting off of React is lovely, and its new approach with a deep understanding of web APIs is quite impressive, but I believe the main obstacle will be the very steep learning curve, which could be the biggest challenge for its adoption. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZl0...

I just want to say that @solidjs.com it's really, really, really enjoyable to work with. 👏 And this is a long-time Vue guy talking.

The answer from now on will always be "how much is the fish".

I guess there's always a first time. Never seen a "PAY TO REJECT" button in my life. Shame!

The Internet

The Web is dead. Long live the Web!

Everyone is about to get an email from NPM about new security measures. Please make sure it actually comes from NPM.

The lack of enthusiasm for AI coding from @ryansolid.bsky.social at the last @viteconf.org panel gave me unexpected hope for humanity.

It's time to share my hideous game. We can still create random websites that are free, without cookies, no tracking, and no AI, designed to waste your time and make you curse whoever created the game. That's what really matters. gifrequest.com

We all have a choice. The Internet is ours.

Still true.

I have to say, the rumor about a new EU regulation requiring browsers to provide options for a consistent cookie policy across websites is quite interesting.

Between Zuckerberg's "beautiful projects and ethics" and Vercel's CEO's "excellent advertisement", I think React and Next.js are a tough choice these days.

Playing Red Dead Redemption 2 again after 8 years. This game is still pure gold.

I find it hilarious that there's a lot of speculation about what data and how much of it Meta will collect when users wear their glasses. Simple. All of it.

I like this! vivaldi.com/blog/keep-ex...

Not the only point from the article, but I have to say, as someone who's reading Dune right now, calling the branch "Shai-Hulud" was a pretty cool touch 😂

in light of the current supply chain attacks, I've just published a @github.com action to detect packages that _lose_ their provenance. 📦 supports pnpm-lock.yaml, package-lock.json, yarn.lock (v1) 🎨 inline GitHub annotations ✅ JSON output + configurable 💪 published in TS with zero deps

True story: my friend actually got vibe coding cleanup specialist freelance job www.404media.co/the-software...

I've just watched the new episode of @syntax.fm with @tannerlinsley.com as a guest, and after one of those, all you want to do is grab your laptop and start coding. Such an inspiring person!

Today I learned about this new acronym: TTFT. Time To First Token. I didn't realize this was a thing. Make it what you want.

Every time I try to give React another fair shot, I always find myself wondering how it became so polarizing while being so unpleasant to work with.

Every day, this clip of the @deno.land promo is becoming more and more accurate. www.youtube.com/clip/UgkxVQi...

I missed this one 👀 www.atlassian.com/blog/announc...

We're launching a GoFundMe to cover legal fees to #FreeJavaScript trademark from Oracle. We need to raise $200k to make full use of the discovery phase in the trademark cancelation petition. This is a critical step in protecting the JavaScript name for the whole community. 👉 javascript.tm

Agentic. Cringiest buzzword ever.

It feels like 2018.

I've never considered how many accessibility problems are linked to placeholder text in input fields.

No tracking. No data harvesting for ads. No AI scraping for training. Privacy-first. Fully open source. Built by people. This should be the internet by default.

@joshwcomeau.com What have you done to me?? I can't stop playing with this! 💣💥
