setHTML(), Trusted Types and the Sanitizer API. Ollie Williams shows how these APIs protect against XSS by sanitizing HTML safely and enforcing trusted types. Supported in Firefox Nightly and Chrome Canary, with wider adoption coming. #security #html olliewilliams.xyz/blog/sanitiz...

Does anyone use project/dependency-specific MCPs? How do you use it? What sorts of questions do you ask? In what ways does it improve the Claude/Copilot/agentic experience? Where do you include it in your project/prompt-chain ? (Not a trap, genuinely curious)

A guidebook on blocking: - Block people! It feels great. Even based on vibes. - Blocklists are awesome. - Get blocked? Ouch. That hurts. Either earn the unblock or accept that there'll be haters in life. - Get blocklisted? Big ouch. Do the above but maybe internalize it a bit more. Blessings.

I love it when I receive the monthly web platform update from the web-features explorer in my RSS reader. Such a useful and condensed source of info. Web: web-platform-dx.github.io/web-features... RSS: web-platform-dx.github.io/web-features...

Have you never thought how danger must surround power as shadow does light?

✨ It’s that time of year! The State of JavaScript 2025 survey is currently running. 😄 I take the survey every year. It’s a great way to keep up with all of the new features and APIs that have come to browsers in the past year. stateofjs.com/en-US

if you are in austin and thinking about planting a tree, the natural gardener has them 20% off between now and 11/9. best time to plant a tree is now (fall).

This is making the rounds and I want to say @netlify.com was super helpful in resolving this issue. Great people. Very helpful. My lament is not about $50 or hosting companies charging for services. My lament is about the economics of who bears the costs of this new technology vs who benefits.

Halloween on a Friday... god grant me the strength (and the Starbursts) to get through this night. Looking forward to a calm, cool, lazy Saturday tomorrow despite knowing Mariah is coming... and lo, she comes for us all.

This little snippet made debugging view transitions a lot easier

A new chapter begins! The all-new #btconf website is here. Fresh, friendly, and full of love. Huge thanks to @mikekus.bsky.social for the design and @bastianallgeier.com for all the work bringing it to life – with @getkirby.com of course! Feels great to finally share this one. beyondtellerrand.com

I'm on the market again, whether the market likes it or not. Looking for a remote JavaScript role. Things I've done in the past few years — first, professionally: • Led a desktop engineering team

Congrats to @webawesome.com on the big release 🎉 I'd tell you my favorite part but I wouldn't want to spoil my review (okay, fine, it's the Page component).

A wonderful celebration of RSS by Tom Burkert. Seems like a cool open technology that could bail us out of our billionaire-controlled algorithmic feed problem. blog.burkert.me/posts/in_pra...

Josh @farrant.me's site has a lovely theme-switcher... that plays music! farrant.me

No one does horror like the folks at the Onion back in the day doing Clickhole

Don't [...spread] or .split() your strings! Use Intl.Segmenter API. Available in every JS runtime

As the Vice President of Web Components, where’s my eyeliner?

Did you know that with the CSS corner-shape property, you can finally get those sci-fi rectangles you always wanted? @davatron5000.bsky.social shows us how.

You've probably see other @netlify.com peeps look for feedback from you all. Add me to that list :), especially if its related to UX, UI, and front end things! DMs open, too!

I listened to Bernie's Fight Oligarchy over the weekend. It does great to outline a modern Democratic agenda. The biggest takeaway was "the billionaires are organized." Save a few, they're united in deploying their influence, so they have more money, so they have more influence. That's the fight.

Famously a lot of people in Jesus' time also did not like Jesus.

There’s no such thing as “enough CSS articles” about a topic. The more perspectives, the better. I once talked to a dev who’d never heard of display: contents. He was excited to try after I showed him some use-cases. My article might not click for someone, but yours could be the one that does!

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

Love getting linked to a TikTok and you wanna unmute it but you gotta bring your machete to get down there.

Quiet UI updated their licence. This is a good move overall (less confusing, allows more people to tinker) but I'm also super pro-not-dumping-on-maintainers. Entitled devs vomit their problems, impatience, and lack of RTFM'ing on maintainers so much it's a wonder anyone does opensource at all.

got laid off due to restructuring :( i’m now available for mid+ frontend developer/software engineering positions in the meantime, we’re back to building the future and fun on the web on atproto :)

📝 As President of #webcomponents it's my duty to publicly comment on every web component library. Today I'm looking at @cory.laviska.com's new @quietui.org daverupert.com/2025/10/quie...

Looks like I'll be coming to the end of a contract shortly so will have availability for new projects from later this month Give me a shout if you're on the lookout for frontend dev or design systems work and particularly if you're looking for animations, interactions or anything a bit experimental

I'll take 1,000 posts filled with ideas on how to rip design and technology from the hands of the attention economy. I enjoyed this post from @seanvoisen.com seanvoisen.com/blog/design-...

All of the colors are calculated based on a single CSS variable using relative oklch, so you can change the theme with just one line. --tint: green; Modern CSS is amazing! 😲

<del> ...90 pages of framework-specific code examples.. </del> <ins> Use `@view-transition { navigation: auto; }` </ins>

View transitions are in every browser now ✨

We must restore the Honmoon. Get back to the Obama Timeline. With haste!

If you've piece-meal assembled your JS knowledge over the years AND you care more about "how it works" as opposed to "how to npm install my problems away", get this course!!1 I've learned a lot from @wil.to over the years and he'll engage and entertain you the whole way.

As recently as last week, I was writing about the brilliance and impact of the art of Drew Struzan. Today, we learn he's passed. I'm gutted. His artistic genius and inspirational images will truly be appreciated forever. May we continue to treasure his work & the man who made it. Thank you, Drew.

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);

This is it. 86,791 words. 836 emdashes. 625 `const`, 141 `let`, 16 `var`. One (1) reference to the pause music from Battletoads for the NES. Spread the word: JavaScript for Everyone launches tomorrow.

I think Lists, Details, and Flows by @davatron5000.bsky.social is one of the most important articles about digital design I've ever read: daverupert.com/2016/04/list... Written as "a lament" in 2016, this distillation has proven to be extraordinarily liberating and empowering in my own work.
