PSA: Domain handles and privacy With "The Great Migration" and adopting domains as handles. Anyone concerned about keeping personal details private, from their online profile, may want to do a WHOIS Lookup on their domain to see what contact details are publicly available.

You know that initial 80% when you're coding something. That time you're feeling really productive and energised about code? Well, AI is going to take care of that for us. Leaving us with the final 20% of pain to sort out all the papercuts to make it production ready. Again and again.

Also, I am looking for active maintainers to help me maintain VueUse. I'd be happy to provide some mentorships if you are interested in that. Doing OSS would be a long process tho, and probably won't make you have financial benefits at the beginning - but could be an interesting experience.

Would having a label in bluesky for `meme`, allowing option for filtering them, be a good idea or terrible one? Is it already a thing? ( @patak.dev ?) (I'm not against memes and funny post, but there are times I'd like to switch them off)

I am genuinely impressed by the effort Sarah put into this Figma Kit. I haven't seen such a complete free UI on Figma before. Additionally, it's a perfect 1-1 match with the UI components in development. Next, a Figma plugin to export as Vue components? πŸ‘€

Just hit the magic number of my Bluesky and X accounts having the same amount of followers. Decided to take a peek a the recent followers on each. Can you spot any differences?

This is super interesting! I'd been wondering how engagements would compare for the big names on twitter. My twitter engagements felt like they'd flatlined. But I've got low numbers and never paid for a blue tick.

One thing I noticed on Twitter was how my engagement had slowly been dropping in the last 6-months. I don't plan on cross-posting there anymore, but for one last one, earlier today I did one as a test to see. My audience there is 40x bigger... same engagement.

How do Design System/Token focused communities feel about Tailwind CSS? Any general consensus for or against? Kicks off heated debates? Don't care on implementation? (I've got a solid feel for developer opinions, but have been going deep into design systems and tokens)

To clarify, custom domain handles on bluesky are an awesome feature! I'm using one. This PSA is for those who want/need privacy and don't realise their domain can expose contact details if Whois privacy has not been enabled. Safety first, for those who need it.

🌠 For years, the #1 most requested feature in CSS was Container Queries. We wanted them so badly! Well, they’ve arrived… and none of us are using them. πŸ˜‚ I think I know why, and I just published a new blog post that will hopefully change that! Check it out: www.joshwcomeau.com/css/containe...

Pinned starter pack for OSS projects? It could help raise the voices of maintainers in ecosystem-focused projects.

Some services and domains allow for keeping contact details anonymous. If you find your contact details are public, consider the available options to protect them. A brand new domain with privacy from the start will be safest as historical records are possible to find.

I just saw @mattpocockuk.bsky.social's post, and I wonder if a flash mob where we all post a πŸ¦‹ at the same time in X could make some ripples. As in scheduling a post for tomorrow, October 31, 7 am PST πŸ‘€
