By the way, do you have a personal website and does it have a home page? (I’m pretty sure it does… 😁)

I would love to know: what’s on your “home” and why?

Feel free to share a link, of course. 🤗 As always, I’m also asking on behalf of my newsletter subscribers.

@matthiasott My homepage is a half-finished vector illustration of my name, my last 8 posts, and my active side projects. I felt like my writing and side projects were the thing I wanted to emphasize most.

Big news: I’m happy to share that yesterday I started a new job at Microsoft where I'll be working on web components for Fluent UI.

I've had a long relationship with Microsoft – from Paravel helping to build the first responsive version of their homepage in 2012 to the whole 5 year "#davegoeswindows" stunt that Rey Bango coordinated for ShopTalk – and this feels like a nice new chapter in that story arc.

@nhoizey Text color is wrong but the JS is correct since that’s where you author web components. But I can make it more clear.

@bkardell I think in some ways a browser can be just a rectangle, a window, for viewing the web. But it’s probably a question of “Who benefits if I use this particular rectangle?”

Had someone open two identical issues on GitHub. When I closed one of them as a duplicate, they replied “Thanks for nothing, Zach”

Got really into Solo RPGs over the last two days and started making a 52 card deck based game and it’s approaching Cones of Dunshire levels of “Do you think a depressed could make this!?”

Weird how the discourse is "Does MKBHD have too much influence?" and not "Are call-and-response chat interfaces not great?"

I only like ethically sourced human generated content. My wife and I love to get fresh content from this organic content farm just outside of Austin. We’re part of the Farm to Phone movement. But the best content is the content we grow and pickle ourselves at home.

davatron5000,
@davatron5000@mastodon.social avatar

This goof toot is brought to you by the intrusive dystopian thought that going forward we'll only trust content that we feel is expensive, know is expensive, or is expensive as a way to find trustworthy sources.

Sweeping generalization incoming:

A comic is 3-5 story beats.
A volume is 3-5 comics rolled up into a single book.
A compendium is 30~50 comics rolled up into a single book.

Anyways, websites (vis a vis information density, features, storytelling, et cetera)

Newly added to my #WebComponents collection: <link-peek>!

Turn any regular anchor link into a rich preview (also known as an ‘unfurled’ link). Can be used with any JSON API and allows for custom templating.

Prefect for creating more visual interest on links without filling the page with additional HTML noise:
