@solidjs.com has a new `sld` tagged template function coming out to replace its `html` template function. `sld` is renamed from `html` because it not HTML-syntax-compatible, with JSX-like case-sensitive <Component> syntax. No more pesky <${Component}> syntax!

Joined!

This is so nifty! Use this custom element to add comments, for example, to a static blog post. Readers can comment on Bluesky!

If something like this DOM templating proposal becomes reality, it'll start to reduce the need to install frameworks like React, Solid, or Vue. And it will start to create commonality for tooling such as TS, linters, compilers, and frameworks to build on top of. github.com/justinfagnan...

Still waiting for AI coding agent output to not be slop. The day will come, but right now it's really only good for monotonous straight forward tasks.

I really appreciate where macOS 26 Liquid Glass UX will land, but it is still being worked on, and feels a little rushed. This is hard to read at the moment due to a bug where the underlying shadow shrinks and the contrast is lost (note the shadow is at the top, not tall enough):

Thought I'd make it just a little more specific.

I just LOVE the Pulsar UI/UX and graphics. So good. A built-in terminal is in the works too. YES! It has the best incantation of Vim. Nothing in Vim I can't do in Pulsar (see plugin Vim Mode Plus). JS > VimL, sorry Vim peeps! 😛 Main contributors: @andrewdupont.net and github.com/confused-Tec...

Yoooo! This accidental wiggle in the @bsky.app UI is very cute. I love it. Can we keep it?

I moved. Updated my location on GitHub.

From Pulsar Editor's recent update: "perhaps most importantly, you may notice substantial improvements in performance." I am SO excited. The UI/UX is far better than VS Code's, and the CSS is exposed. Just open up your CSS style sheet and hack away! View CSS in devtools, and style anything!

The Pulsar text editor recently upgraded from Electron 12 to Electron 30 (from Node 14 to Node 20)! With performance improvements. Pulsar is a living fork of the dead Atom editor. I'm keeping an eye on Pulsar due to very bad perf issues VS Code has with extensions, unfixed for years.

Anyone know a tool to prune node_modules based on an importmap? I've got Custom Elements that run as vanilla ES Modules in the browser. They import solid.js, and f.e. my importmap grabs `solid-js` from node_modules. However solid.js also installs unneeded tools like Babel. Hoping to clean it up.

I smell code complexity from a mile away. Don't even need to be close!

You don't need crazy realistic graphics to make fun 3D web experiences with WebGL or WebGPU!

A useful phrase to understand capitalist dynamics is: Socialize the cost, privatize the profit. Explains a lot of policy and corporate action.

I've released `@​lume/element` v0.17.0, "effective elements", adding support for @solid_js memos and effects for Custom Elements via decorator syntax. Concisely write custom HTML elements, type checked in React, Vue, Svelte, Solid.js, Stencil, and more. github.com/lume/element/releases/tag/v0.17.0

`classy-solid` 0.5.2 is released, adding the ability to control whether effects start upon instance construction via a `static autoStartEffects` class field. Add @solid_js signals and effects to your JavaScript classes with concise decorator syntax: github.com/lume/classy-...

My heart to the WARM people of Minneapolis.

I've published classy-solid v0.5.1 "keep your privates private!", supporting #​private @​memo and @​effect decorated members. Add @solidjs.com-powered signals and effects to JavaScript classes. Notes: github.com/lume/classy-... Example declarative class with @​signal, @​memo, and @​effect members:

If you build privacy-protecting software, and you are trackable, then people in power will jail you even if you didn't commit a crime. Keonne Rodriguez, maker of Samourai Wallet, an open-source, non-custodial privacy wallet, is going to prison tomorrow. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fshs...

React continues to snowball exponentially, unfortunately. Outpacing newer, better, standards-aligned techs (chart from npm stat). Probably due to herd mentality and picking a library merely beacuse the usage count is higher. Imagine if people rebalanced their picks based on technical merits.

I often hit this text editing bug in Apple iPhone on Bluesky, making it impossible to edit what I'm posting. Looks like a iOS Safari bug I've only seen triggered on Bluesky. The caret and text selection drawings are rendered in the wrong visual location.

Imagine if ShadowDOM simply had this.attachShadow({ mode: 'open', openlyStylable: true }) which would do one thing very simply: Any selectors from any level up higher pierce into the root. You accept the possible consequences, but you can also simplify a variety of use cases.

Don't optimize the thing that should not exist. Delete it! AIs love to optimize things that should not exist, after adding them!

@angular.dev lovers, can you please upvote this issue for Angular to support Custom Element type definitions via TypeScript interfaces? Unlike other major frameworks, Angular doesn't provide Custom Element type checking despite ironically being the first to use TypeScript (AtScript)!

I looked Occidental College in Apple Maps. I clicked the website which opened in MS Edge (not Google Chrome). YouTube started playing Occidental College ads. Who is selling (or gifting) my profile to Google?

Yet another AI fullstack app maker using a standards-shunning framework that I will never use for new apps, making this GitHub product unusable for people who prefer modern standards-aligned innovative tech. A real **good** app maker would give people custom elements compatible with all frameworks.

I'm onboard with this.

there are so many cool things you can do in the browser like fluid typography that just do not work if you also have a team of designers who work primarily or exclusively in Figma

@jay.bsky.team @pfrazee.com @emilyliu.me longstanding bug in mobile web browsers: the buttons in the post form stop doing anything after interacting with the text area in certain ways. Not sure how to reproduce, but to get out of broken state always requires a full refresh. See video (iOS):

React is shamefully still shipped as CommonJS modules more than TEN YEARS after JavaScript modules have been standardized.

Voice-controlled computers sound cool... except I don't want everything I do and say being recorded and sent to some server on the internet!

Can you please stop taking React jobs? Can you please stop posting React jobs? Can you please stop making all apps with React?

Bluesky feature request: Audio. That’s it, that’s the feature request.

Coding agents make so much slop. When they rafactor, they like to leave things behind for no reason (unused branches, etc). They don't like to keep things as continually clean. You really have to keep an eye on them. Regardless they're such a big productivity boost. There's no going back.

Anyone use this trick to get a boxed Symbol (an actual Symbol object in JavaScript)? If so, what for?

Can we get browser HTML parsers to support self-closing tags for custom elements? This, <some-cool-element-without-children /> is nicer than this: <some-cool-element-without-children></some-cool-element-without-children>

I love a web app that is so fucking clean I don't have to install the native mobile app. one.app is an incredibly well made web app. You don't need a native app to make a good UX. You can also wrap a web view on any platform and ship it as "native".

Copilot being funny? Copilot code completion to the right of my cursor when I typed `@` says "@Copilotyright Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved."

I keep hearing complaints about vibe coding mess code. So pessimistic! Vibe coding actually allows experienced developers to create code that is better than ever, faster than ever before. It simply requires guidance of the AI. It's similar to being a manager, ensuring work's on the right track.

Copilot's new prompt-to-app tool, Spark, builds full-stack apps with React. So that means I'm not using Spark. :) I hope big companies stop pushing outdated tech and start innovating more! Meanwhile, I can use a local coding agent with a better stack and modern advancements...

Decorators?

I like decorators, but I'm thinking of dropping them because that's the only reason I need a build step in my projects. Browsers have been taking too long to ship the standard. Going plain JS will freeing: write code, git push, anyone can consume it. Removes friction, especially for libraries.

Putting glass aesthetics aside, macOS 26 and iOS 26 are really great UX, usability, and productivity upgrades. Really enjoying it! Even if it didn't have glass, but the same old blur effect, the upgrade would be really nice. It's a big step up compared to previous OS versions.

The one on the right (Solid.js) is just JS. You can even go buildless when using an html`` template tag. It's just JS! No special compiler needed for reactivity to work (only for JSX)!

Web components: I love the idea of being able to reuse the custom component through my codebase and potentially other projects. I hate the idea that it's 100% reliant on JavaScript. I know what I'm after is some kind of server side include…just, doesn't sit right.

Seems possible! Maybe there's some odd corner case that prevented this.
