  • In reply to @davidbisset. That will get sucked up into my davidbisset.social, that's a good one i'll admit.

  • "Open-source is not about being able to read your own code — it's being able to decide your own future." https://toddle.dev/blog/open-source-more-than-just-readable-code "Code export is a bandaid, not a cure." via https://toddle.dev #opensource #coding

  • This looks impressive, if you own music want to move away from #Spotify etc to #selfhosting a solution. https://github.com/Arthi-chaud/Meelo Meelo: self-hosted personal #music server designed for collectors and music maniacs". 🎵 Music videos, B-sides, auto 'featuring' & duet detection! #TypeScript #Python

  • Nice look'n SVG to CSS converter. Converts SVG code into a Data URI, an encoded URL format that can be used as a background-image source. #webdev #SVG #CSS https://www.svgbackgrounds.com/tools/svg-to-css/

  • Interesting tidbit that @woocommerce powers 9% "of all websites" (I'm assuming all, not just ecommerce). https://developer.woocommerce.com/2025/01/23/new-leadership/ #WordPress #WooCommerce

  • Why I 🧡 the web. TabBoo (love the name) is a #Chrome extension that adds random "jumpscares" to sites you're trying to avoid. https://tabboo.xyz #addiction #wacky

  • "Top 25 Website Fonts for 2025" https://bestwebdesigntools.com/blog/designers-favorite-top-25-website-fonts-for-2025 i'm not a big font person, but sometimes I do like to change things up. I'm a rebel. #free #frontend #webdev #fonts

  • I get to use the "to the surprise of no one" card only twice a year. So I'll use it now. To the surprise of no one, #TikTik is back.

    "Oh no! #TikTok is being banned… but i'm ADDICTED to vertical videos. What can I watch instead that's vertical?" 🤔

  • Picyard is a tool for making your code snippets look nice with various themes and languages supported. I've seen apps (paid and free) do this, but if you need a free online solution work a look. https://www.picyard.in/code #frontend #CSS #webdev #JavaScript #PHP

  • Why I 🧡 the web. There's a cat API (of course). 🐱 https://thecatapi.com #api #webdev #cats

  • Sadly, only good companies know the importance of people having skills BEYOND coding (call them "soft skills" or whatever). And some people will find these a challenge. But they are important IMO for a good potential career future. And no, I believe coders will exist but this is still worth a read because it's mostly…

  • Why I 🧡 the web: DOOM: The Gallery Experience was created as an art piece designed to parody the wonderfully pretentious world of gallery openings. Walk around and appreciate some fine art while sipping some wine and eating cheese – in a modified Doom game in your browser. There's even a gift shop! https://bobatealee.itch.io/doom-the-gallery-experience #art…

    Interesting. Visiting slack.com. First screenshot is #Firefox. Second is #Chrome. I'm not logged into either (or have been for a while) browser. First shows "Talk To Sales". Second button instead is "Request A Demo". A/B testing? Check my cookies? But ok. But both of these screens: buttons seem off. Firefox worse. Slack maybe doesn't test…

    If you are REALLY old school #WordPress you'll remember the mailing lists. I actually talked with people via (gasp) email lists in addition to forums way back. I still have mine for BuddyPress that I still every month for almost two decades? #oldschool #getOffMyLawn

    You think YOU'LL have a bad time in 2025? Not as bad as some, it seems. #memes

  • If you build #WordPress plugins that go in the .org repo (or build them in general) this is an important read. 👇🏻 If you haven't started using Plugin Check – even just via WP admin UI – you have a new 2025 goal to meet probably. https://make.wordpress.org/plugins/2024/12/24/plugin-check-goals-roadmap/

  • Can't for @siracusa take on the new logo for #Perl. https://perladvent.org/2024/2024-12-23.html

    Why I 🧡 the web. "Poop Adventure". Almost fell off my stool when i saw this. The UI and look isn't crap at all. Some may dump on this, but area is legit health concern. Not a waste of time. https://poopadventure.vercel.app/ #health

  • Reading: "How do you do, fellow web developers? A growing disconnect." https://rakhim.exotext.com/web-developers-a-growing-disconnect "I feel a growing disconnect between my notion of #programming and younger web developers' notion of it… My growing feeling of disconnect gets fueled mostly by seemingly shifting notions." If your over… say 35(?) I think you might feel this. I kinda see…

  • Why I 🧡 the web: Someone built an "Anti-Tag Cloud" site that shows the most common (English) words that DON'T show in from famous #literature. https://www.bewitched.com/demo/anti/ For example "religion" in Sherlock Homes.

  • Write Books With the Block Editor https://wordpress.org/news/2024/12/write-books-with-the-block-editor/ The editor is wrapped 'in an app". The demo editor is installable as a Progressive Web App (PWA) in Chrome. #WordPress

  • In reply to @davidbisset. And let's face it, we've all been there.

  • Both of my twin teenage daughters – only sophomores in high school – are OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED IN ADOBE #ILLUSTRATOR. 🎉 I'm certified in… checks notes… NOTHING #ADOBE RELATED. Jealous. Amazes me that public high schools even offer this (Adobe partners with them). #proudDad

  • Loving page transitions in #CSS. Little effort and don't need to go overboard (yeah sure designers and developers never go overboard on new visual trends… lol). "Smooth Multi-Page Experiences with Just a Few Lines of CSS" https://htmhell.dev/adventcalendar/2024/3/

  • I think both things here can be true. 1. This is an amazing example of ingenuity, programming, and overall #programming smarts. Bravo and I think coders could learn something here and apply it. 2. This is also capable of adding to the (some would call it "slop" but i'll see "below average quality") content (in…
