They’re closing my childhood #comics shop, so I did the only sensible thing and scanned a few panels from Boris the Bear: tylersticka.com/journal/au-r...

This is so similar to a game concept I’ve (completely coincidentally) had in my sketchbooks for a while, cool/surreal to see it brought to life! Looks really cute and fun: store.steampowered.com/app/3336240/... #IndieGame #Frogs

An extremely meta summary of recent micro-optimizations for fellow #IndieWeb, #WebPerf and #Eleventy nerds 🫶 tylersticka.com/journal/depe...

Gosh, Wildwood looks gorgeous: www.youtube.com/watch?v=POne... I adore stop-motion animation (with CG elements that respect the style)

I am so tired of tools promising to "fix accessibility". I thought we were already past that? seeing how much of a failure accessibility overlays have been. Not a single tool I that promises accessibility without people has actually delivered on its promises. At least none that I know of.

I was already a big believer in automated code checking, but as more devs are experimenting with AI-assisted coding, I think these CI tools are becoming even more valuable. cloudfour.com/thinks/ci-fo...

What a fun article with hilarious illustrations from @tylersticka.com tylersticka.com/journal/wick...

A while ago I wrote a simple command-line script to help me create blog posts on my static site. It’s less than 200 lines, introduces no new dependencies and looks pretty cute: tylersticka.com/journal/new-... #WebDev #IndieWeb

Over the past 19 years, my team @cloudfour.com have shared over 600 articles and resources with the #WebDesign community, absolutely free. But now, our design practice is in danger without your help. Please read and share: cloudfour.com/thinks/more-... #OpenToWork #UXDesign #UIDesign

Tyler and his team are super-creative and build amazing experiences.

Oh, I also want to say that I can't get enough of @tylersticka.com's illustration for this article. It does such a great job of capturing how I often feel about web performance. The WTF look on the character's face as it looks at JS is true to life. cloudfour.com/thinks/weigh...

I can't speak highly enough of Tyler & the Cloudfour team. While I've never worked with them on a project (I secretly wish I did when I was still freelancing), I have learned from & enjoyed all the work and knowledge they have shared over the years. Highly recommend hiring them for your projects👇🏻

Cloud Four is THE BEST team of web professionals I’ve ever worked with!

The various GLP-1 medications are amazing. It has made a huge difference in my life. We need something like it for the web. cloudfour.com/thinks/weigh...

Because you can't hire Paravel anymore, I would heartily recommend hiring @cloudfour.com. I've long been jealous of CloudFour's ability to boil the ocean of complexity into understandable terms. Good communicators, great people, and a deep understanding of how to make great apps and websites.

I posted we were quiet last year and everyone was amazing. Let's do the same for the fine folks at Cloudfour. A great agency, full of lovely, talented people. You will be in good hands!

Let's talk about Global Privacy Control (GPC) and the ways cookie banners seem to be trying to trick people into accepting cookies even though they've already opted out. Is this just poor UX or is it malicious compliance? cloudfour.com/thinks/gpc-o...

Really sad to hear one of my favorite cartoonists passed away. The Maxx is an all-time fave. RIP #SamKieth graphicpolicy.com/2026/03/21/s...

Over the last few months, we've had multiple clients ask us for help with the technical bits of CCPA and GPDR compliance. In this new series, I share a bit of what we've learned in the process. cloudfour.com/thinks/cooki...

Some rapid prototyping gems in here ☺️

The recording of my @11ty.dev Meetup presentation (w/ related links + code samples) is now available: cloudfour.com/thinks/littl... Big thanks to @sia.codes for having me, @zachleat.com for encouraging my possum drawings, and especially everyone who attended! #Eleventy #BuildAwesome #WebDesign

Holy smokes, this is less than an hour from now!! 😱 Hope to see you there! 👋

Reminder: The last 11ty Meetup is tomorrow! Join us for a talk about rapid prototyping with @tylersticka.com then we'll have an AMA with @zachleat.com about Build Awesome. All details at 11tymeetup.dev #11ty

Here at @cloudfour.com, we do a lot of design and prototyping in the browser via @11ty.dev (or should I say #BuildAwesome??) At the next free, virtual #Eleventy Meetup (March 12, 9am PDT), I’ll be sharing some of my favorite little helpers for quick and easy placeholder content: 11tymeetup.dev

Colorpeek shirts ship free now through the weekend if you use the code FREESHIPPINGFRIDAY (I know it’s dorky to wear my own design, but I do anyway because I’m happy with how it came out) cottonbureau.com/p/TXTXSF/shi...

New post about how we do code review here at @cloudfour.com! If your team members dread the notification that they’ve been added as a reviewer on a pull request, I think the following guidelines can help. cloudfour.com/thinks/how-w...

Finally learned to cook after decades of being useless in the kitchen 👨‍🍳 tylersticka.com/journal/now-...

Hey folks, the next 11ty meetup will be on March 12 with @tylersticka.com helping us with rapid prototyping 11tymeetup.dev #11ty

Lots of helpful tips in here! (I drew the feature image 😊) #writing #blogging

On buying my first mechanical #keyboard out of anger: tylersticka.com/journal/the-...

This is a neat visual effect. If you use it to replace a legend / fieldset (such as in a form) for even more novel styles, then make sure you give the wrapper an `aria-labelledby` pointing at the heading and a `role="group"`.

I helped my pal @chriskirknielsen.com fake a fieldset-legend layout (where the “legend” overlays and clips a containing border). My technique, plus a few alternatives: cloudfour.com/thinks/fakin... #CSS #WebDev #WebDesign

#TiledWords was nominated for the Playlin award for best daily short form web game! If you like the game it would mean a lot to me if you took a second to vote for it! playlin.io/awards/vote/

I’m in the home stretch of a nav redesign for a web app w/ 60+ unique features The stakeholder just told me they are “very happy” with the outcomes, this was “money well spent” 🎉 If you could use that sort of #WebDesign #WebDev win, I’m always looking for my next project: [email protected]

Gosh I love #IndieGames theindieinformer.com/2026/01/06/2...

Having read cloudfour.com/thinks/justi... by @tylersticka.com et al., I learned about `hyphenate-limit-chars`, and in a nanosecond it jumped to the top of my list of #CSS properties that I’d like to see full support across browsers. (Sure, it can be progressively enhanced, but still.)

On day 15 @tylersticka.com shows us how to break the web‽ htmhell.dev/adventcalend...

Well, this brightened my day: blog.codepen.io/2025/12/15/c... Thank you for the kind words, @chriscoyier.net 🫶

On day 15 of this year’s #HTMHellAdventCalendar, I “break” down (pun intended) an aspect of #HTML we often take for granted: Line breaks! htmhell.dev/adventcalend... #WebDesign #WebDev #CSS #Typography

I somehow missed the news of @stevesilberman.bsky.social’s passing last year. I hope he wouldn’t have minded me sharing this story… tylersticka.com/journal/that...
