Web developers over ~35 years old, can we chat for a second? Over here... everyone else you can keep scrolling.

I got some bad news. No one cares that we used to build entire websites with tables. Yeah, yeah, I know. It's our favorite story to tell. Same goes with floats. Flexbox has been in every browser since 2012. Grid since 2018. When we talk about the old ways we just sound old.

New version of <mastodon-post> Web Component just dropped!

You can now access nested data returned from the Mastodon public API using dot notation, e.g. account.display_name or account.avatar.

Been working on an update to my <mastodon-post> Web Component to allow you to target nested data within a post using dot notation.

If you have a moment I'd appreciate a check over what I've changed just to make sure there isn't a regression and I'm not over engineering it. Thanks!

Here's a quick write up of one of the new #WebComponents I released last week, <sample-input>:

The <sample-input> component allows you to use <audio> and <video> elements to preview files that's been uploaded to an <input> element.

What does a personal blog/website really need?

• {posts|pages}.html (html pages with content on them)
• index.html (links to pages and posts)
• feed.xml (RSS feed of all posts)
• robots.txt (to ward away evil spirits/bots)
• sitemap.xml (to attract other bots)
• 404.html (optional really)
• favicon.ico (not a page but a file on the server, also optional)
• carbon.txt (carbontxt.org even more optional but a nice concept)

I’m deliberately being overly simple, am I missing something?

So where are you going now for your css tricks?

The Nord Design System team are 🤏🏻 this close to wrapping up on the first iteration of a project we began building just over a year ago, a project that was designed to be Just The Beginning™ for Nordhealth's flagship product Provet Cloud https://provet.cloud

It's a project that's hugely benefitted from Nord, our dedicated #DesignSystem for Nordhealth products https://nordhealth.design. Looking forward to sharing more of what @ariel, @elwinvaneede, @WickyNilliams and Eric have been working on 🔜

Pretty impressive that Jekyll is still actively used for websites. I realise it helps to have a whole platform that defaults to it (GitHub Pages) but I think you could say that about a few different tools.
Keep experiencing this first hand with people picking up my Jekyll themes on a regular basis ⚗️

Hey I'm recording a podcast for zeroheight later today! @lurkmoophy has asked me to join them on Design Systems WTF to talk about future-proofing your design system.

It'll be a live recording so if you want to ask questions to us directly use the ‘Register now’ button on this page:

Deleted a frankly way too fragile dependency within my site. I was using degit to pluck out some CSS from Ghost without having to download the whole thing on install. However I didn't need it as I wasn't even using the things they style.

Goes to show that you should really only add CSS to a project when you know it's going to get used, even when it's boilerplate or reset stuff

Currently looking for an #11ty plugin to actually render a social card in a post, not to be confused with a plugin that generate the cool meta tags in order to get a nice looking card on other websites.

Anyone got that somewhere? at the bottom of a pocket maybe?

Any good way to toggle the open attribute on a <details> element according to a media query - essentially watching for changes? And is there a terrible accessibility reason not to do that? Basically it's about hiding content on smaller screens
