There are two types of designers: Goths and DJs. It’s an endless, bloody war between the two and we are this close to winning.

Fascinated by the cycle-zone component on https://craftcms.com/demo (from @craftcms) that rotates through a few images as you hover over different portions of the card.

(This make an excellent web component!)

Spent way too much time making this happen, but every entry in Almanac (books, movie, tv shows, games) has a poster/cover now and a fancy grid view rather than the boring list.

AND I finally had an excuse to use @zachleat's hyper-card component 🙌 https://www.zachleat.com/web/hypercard/

Published my first web component "back-to-top" with throttle support from lodash. More details on my next blog post.
https://github.com/murtuzaalisurti/back-to-top

This component is inspired by the works of @DavidDarnes and @zachleat

Hey @zachleat

Great thoughts about how to stay independent
https://www.zachleat.com/web/monetization/

I wanted to share that I love my life since I started a web studio 3 years ago. We use @silex for clients and I split my time between development of Silex and support (2 full-time no-code devs, a small team of 2 OS contributors, a few power users) Oh and we are 100% OS, green IT, diversity. Amazing experience 🙏

Silex is way smaller than 11ty and I'm not sure if it can scale but why not? Nuggets for thoughts ;d

zachleat,
@zachleat@zachleat.com avatar

@lexoyo Whew, I think my thoughts on this topic could fill a couple of blog posts. I don’t think I’m 100% in either camp though my free/libre roots have definitely been the most challenging ideals to maintain and certainly the most exploited by large companies
