I learned you can avoid forced synchronous layout by reading in the ResizeObserver callback!

New blog post! Tips and tricks for Microsoft's Fluent UI design system in React. Fluent UI has a few patterns I think other React libraries should adopt, like "slots" as a shortcut to pass className and props to different child elements.

#SvelteKit has so many quality of life features now. It can handle env variables for you and restrict some to be server only, while inlining the client only variables.

Some shots from our stage adaptation of #doctorwho. I’ve been helping with lighting for the show. 4 more shows in Seattle today & next week!

Pitch black except for a flashlight held by a woman, creating a silhouette of her head. The wall in front of her has “Sally Sparrow, Duck!” crudely painted under torn wallpaper.

I’m currently working on hosting a murder mystery party and went overboard on props!

Here’s a steamer trunk locked with an electromagnet, which can only be opened by typing a code into a #KaiOS banana phone. The interface is a web server running on a #RaspberryPi.

Grabbing and trying to open locked steamer trunk
Open steamer trunk. An electromagnetic is mounted near the front on the inside. A Raspberry Pi circuit board is also visible inside.

Last week I went to a tea festival in Seattle, and learned about “tea soda” from one of the workshops there

@notwoods A head's up that many of the assets on https://monochrome.fyi/ seem to be 404ing at the moment!

Going back to writing some #Android blog posts, with my findings on the difference between mutableStateOf(list) vs mutableStateListOf() in Jetpack Compose

#React hooks are really nice for encapsulating logic, but they're tanking perf because everything runs in the render loop by default. And in practice most devs don't even use them to encapsulate logic 🤷

Updated my #Astro site (https://tigeroakes.com) to use collections and it's such a significant difference. I was able to delete a ton of hacky code!

I took it for granted that coffee shops in Seattle always serve tea (usually chai or matcha latte).

After visiting SF last week I was reminded most spots don't even have tea bags 🫖😢.

I'll be in SF next week if any mutuals want to meet up ✈️🌉

Has anyone used a Ninja Hot & Cold Brewed System or similar device for #tea? Every review I can find online is from someone who only drinks coffee but I only drink tea.

notwoods, 11 months ago to CSS

I'd like to see a #CSS framework without any grid system, just components. CSS grid does all the layout I need but I'd still like premade component styles.
