Donovan Mitchell looks incredibly off. Never seen him look like this.

Experiment of the day: Wiring up Web Awesome + Lit SSR in Phoenix using Extism WASM. Status: Success

Batched Incremental Builds™ — coming soon.

Cool stuff brewing in Bridgetown!

Since Web Awesome SSR is still fairly experimental, I decided to add a toggle for SSR to see what a a page may look like (not deployed yet, still fixing some ssr issues) but figured i'd share a preview.

So uhhh...seems Railway had itself an eventful day 😅 www.reddit.com/r/webdev/s/C... www.reddit.com/r/webdev/s/0...

I love how companies like Substack are always like "we're a bastion for free speech! So we have to protect Nazi content!" ...but pornographic content is a no go It reeks of "we don't care what you do, but don't violate our payment processor's terms" Be honest. You care about $$$, not free speech.

A good opportunity to create your first game with Ruby and use a free license of #DragonRuby game toolkit www.rubyforum.org/t/announcing...

There is a European alternative to Framework laptops - Starlabs. My biggest beef with Framework is their support. Starlabs seem to be doing better on this front. Just pushed a trigger and bought a maxed out Startbook Ultra. nl.starlabs.systems/pages/starbook

Is there any reason to use Stripe over Polar at this? Polar feels like everything I'd want from Stripe tbh.

If you've been wanting to SSR Web Awesome in your apps, I'd love to hear about it, and what framework / backend you're using. I'm working on wrapping up the initial experimental work of getting SSR to a usable point in Web Awesome. There are some quirks and nicks, but overall, it seems to be usable.

Since we're all now wildly more productive thanks to AI, we're all going to 32hr / 4 day work weeks right? ...right?

50 challenges in. 🎉 When I started The Hotwire Club, I wanted to build the resource I wished existed: hands-on exercises that go beyond "hello world" and force you to actually dig into Turbo and Stimulus.

Huge props to Julian for this run. His Hotwire Club challenges and Patreon-only solutions are such a good subscription idea.

Probably a good time to rewatch this www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPMA...

I repeat:

this is some absolute bullshit, @bsky.app

One or more person or persons may or may not have spoken, and in a voice funneled through a person whose professional success explicitly hinges on demand for this feature, cried out: “eight.” That’s web standards, baby! wil.to/posts/google...

I love when Chrome devs wax poetic about shoving the Prompt API down users' throats and is like "we have many such cases of non-standard web apis becoming standards this way!"

So, Chrome's "web standard" Prompt API: Mozilla: Opposed WebKit: Opposed Microsoft: Several concerns W3C TAG: Several concerns Developers: Mostly negative Chrome: Ships anyway. A sad time for web standards. But, I guess someone at Google will get promoted, so 'every cloud…'

I think my call to action here is to pay for no-vc non-public small business made software and cut them a little slack on downtime because it’s where your favorite expensive big guys are headed anyway

I hate watching embiid play. A man that big and that solid flopping everywhere...

Another successful shower time of getting the shit scratched out of me 🙃

🎓 It's graduation day for many of our components! Charts, combobox, toast, and more have been upgraded from experimental to stable and are ready to take the stage. 🎊 Plus, new xs and xl options for size="" and a ton of fixes and improvements. Check out WA 3.6: webawesome.com/docs/resourc...

I am so ridiculously excited about this project. I have been building with @11ty.dev since at least 1.0.0-beta. It's incredible, was like brining web development back to crafting rather than tooling. What they are proposing looks awesome, Build Awesome: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon...

Best example I’ve ever used of this was migrating from Gmail to @fastmail.com. Sign up, big ol button “migrate from Gmail,” oauth, then a progress bar and “we’ll email you when it’s done.” 10/10 onboarding.

Kinda seems like the long-term organization of people in order to efficiently maintain and update existing large codebases was the real challenge all along. 👀

Whoa whoa whoa how did I miss that @buildawesome.bsky.social is the next evolution of @11ty.dev?? Happy to back @zachleat.com and this project, we love basic HTML 🔥 www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon...

Sometimes I back things that aren't comics. For instance, I just backed Build Awesome Pro from @11ty.dev on @kickstarter.com. I've had a goal for a long time of building a personal website, and this is how I plan to finally do it. 💪 www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon...

Back Build Awesome Pro to help us add superpowers to your static site: www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon...

New blog post: Compositing & Blending! 🥳 I spent the last few months reading all about blend modes so you don't have to: You'll learn what compositing and blending are, and what is actually going on under the hood when you apply blend modes in CSS 🎨 nik.digital/posts/compos...

"Hey look at this torment nexus joke I made, it's a real functioning torment nexus that people can pay me to use, but it's just a joke! Haha!"

just a reminder that AI graphics in your tech blog posts still look lame ☺️ ❤️

The conspiracy theorist in me says Stormforge and Turtle both took payouts and were happy to walk away instead of trying to fight Microsoft / Blizzard.

ah shit. That fast break 3 off the steal was all i needed to see. Curry is going to carry this team past the play in. Man looks determined.
