Bootstrap may be considered bad now, but it has done more for web development and styling than Tailwind has done (and ever will?)

Bootstrap may be boring and all the sites look really similar, but it brought web styling to people that didn't know how to do it. Not only for developers, but for anyone building a website. People that didn't know much about web development could build nice-looking websites (something that is reflected in an estimated 20% of the web using Bootstrap).

Yesterday, I did a small workshop about drawing with CSS and my experience drawing a comic about CSS in CSS at the Nerdearla conference. As part of the workshop, I created a small meme for comiCSS: https://comicss.art/?id=132

A Tailwind version may be coming out soon :P

Speaking of #overlays, there is yet another one: #WebAbility

I have already made a PR to add it to the Overlay Fact Sheet:
https://github.com/karlgroves/overlayfactsheet/pull/1189

As with other overlays, it makes WCAG/ADA promises, fails to fix stuff, replicates platform features (poorly) in CSS, and introduces WCAG violations just by adding it to a site.

Cool business model.

My latest single-element toggle switch is Pac-Man themed: https://codepen.io/alvaromontoro/pen/OJGzBqe

An animated toggle switch with pacman eating dots inside.

Well shit, I probably shouldn’t have had setup a netlify build hook connected to incoming webmentions. I’ve got a bit of a bill coming in at the end of this month 😬

How do y’all handle this?

I finished reading Peter Pan. It's pretty violent to be honest! Peter isn't very likeable. And Tinkerbell wasn't at all the character I thought she'd be!

I think lots of things in the story were written with tongue firmly in cheek, and were supposed to be amusing, but I didn't find them very funny at all from my perspective. Apart from Mr Darling and the kennel, maybe.

I do wonder now that the Disney movie changed (I've never seen it, though Hook is one of my favourite childhood films ever).

I'm working on a new single-element toggle, and I honestly don't know what Safari is trying to do here. 🤷‍♀️

Demo of a toggle button with the shape of a soccer field. When activated a foot appears and kick the ball from one side to the other to indicate the on/off state. It works fine on Chrome; but on Safari, the ball keeps growing and growing. When changing the code to define a height instead of an aspect-ratio:1 value, the ball doesn't grow and the toggle behaves the same way in Chrome and Safari.

If I was to get an ebike, I feel like the best use of my money and the space it would take up, would be to get a long tail cargo bike, on which my two kids (currently 4 and 6) could sit at the back (rather than squeezing into a box at the front) for a while longer.

Does anyone have specific tips for such a bike, available in Europe?

I said this before: given the number of teachers moving from teaching into software development. I'm surprised not to see panels at conferences with former teachers discussing their path from teachers to developers, and sharing their successes and missteps.

It feels like it would be one of the most useful talks in the conference (no offense to other speakers). That's a difficult transition full of uncertainty. First-hand guidance would be insightful and help steer away from bad experiences.

Getting a PR rejected is not a bad thing!

A PR comment/rejection/request for change is not a personal attack. It's a learning opportunity for both reviewer and reviewee. It is a way of clarifying methods, learning better practices, and paving the path to a healthier and more maintainable codebase. But for that, you need to go with an open mind and a willingness to learn.

I don't understand people defending Tailwind like their honor is on it. Did I miss a memo or a check in the mail or something? WHO TOOK MY TAILWIND HUSH MONEY????

<div class="max-w-[calc(var(--width-7xl)+2px)]">...</div>

^If you add that class to the code, I'm rejecting the PR. No matter how modern that CSS is.
