This short history of web development is a useful overview for me as I haven't kept close tabs on the field. The post seems to cover all the main frameworks but a notable omission is Tailwind CSS.
I found https://buildexcellentwebsit.es extremely insightful and inspiring! It pushed me to finally completely restructure my personal website’s #CSS, after many years of mess.
Unfortunately, though, I find the massive use of all those calc() and clamp() functions to be quite heavy in terms of performance… #Lighthouse gave the website a very bad performance score (see screenshot). It even seems that while scrolling the page it lags (😳) even if it’s super simple and built with pure #HTML and CSS!
Do you have any ideas or suggestions? 🤔
Thank you so much for all the interesting things you share! ❤️🚀

#vite would be such a better tool if it wasn't doing some non-platform thing with platform primitives at every turn. Or at least, could it have a "vite, but for people who actually like the web" configuration option?
Recently a friend of mine pointed me towards HTTPie, a currently free Postman alternative which feels quite similar but less bloated. Also, besides the desktop app they've built a CLI client supporting form submissions and what not which is super fun to use. I personally prefer working with UIs in most cases but judging from GitHub with 32k stars as of today there might be some folks that feel a little different about the CLI topic.
In 2024, for a locally hosted app that should feel fast, are there good reasons to prefer a pagination UX for an html table vs. showing all ~5k rows and just scrolling through them?
FWIW, I dislike the pagination UX, and resent seeing images load lazily on a 10Gbps network.
The underlying query is essentially instant; the bottleneck appears to be the browser, and I can ~solve that by batching DOM updates.
Ich mag eine #Website machen, möglichst reines #HTML 4, möglichst ohne #Javascript. CSS 3 wenns sein muss, sonst eher 2.
Die Website soll möglichst auf Chrome genauso laufen wie auf Netscape (die Älteren werden sich erinnern...) und auch in Text-Browsern wie Lynx oder w3m.
tl;dr: Die Seite soll auch noch funktionieren, wenn javascript und css ausfallen.
Wie würde ich da denn "Tabs" machen? Oder was wären Alternativen zu tabs?
Macros are one thing I enjoy using the most in #Laravel. It's a way to extend the functionality of many built-in #Facades by providing custom callbacks for a specific key.
One production example I use macros for fairly often is what I call the "admin alert". Especially in smaller applications I want to get notified whenever an error or an event occurs the admin (mostly that's me) should know about.

I so much want to use this #Hexo theme but translating site with Google Translate is making it hard lol. Can anyone here help me with it ? #Foss#Theme#WebDev
Here's another interesting #HTML tag. <mark> lets you highlight certain parts of your text to draw extra attention to it.
One real world example where this can be especially useful is highlighting the parts of your search results that match the search query. Or at least that's where I regularly use it.
