We have implemented one of the most requested features! When you're in the lobby, waiting for the session to start, you now see all the other members standing next to you. We hope you'll love this feature as much as we do.

We completely overhauled the user interface for unboxing new outfits. Hopefully you get to experience it soon :)

High fiving has probably always been the most loved feature of Pausly. It's now possible to directly click on the 🙌 emoji to instantly react. No more stressing over finding the right emoji in time :)

It has always been possible to replace single movements before starting a session, but it's now possible to replace them during a session as well! Click on the settings button and hit the "Replace this movement" button and you'll instantly get a new one.

🎉 Happy 30-month anniversary to Container Queries – in every browser since Feb, 2023. It was supposed to be impossible, but here we are! Why 2.5 years? Nothing will change tomorrow, but Baseline uses this milestone to signal confidence a feature has gained "wide" support. youtu.be/bhHV0rQ3-CQ

New blog post: simple, effective skeleton loaders using just HTML and CSS. www.matsimon.dev/blog/simple-... #css #html #svelte

This new #svelte feature is really exciting! It's basically a more versatile replacement of actions.

Very interesting... This will enable us to use `await` directly inside `<script>`, `$derived` and template code. In a SvelteKit context, this potentially means that the `load` function will not remain the place to fetch your data, but that components can do that themselves. #svelte

I recently watched Adolescence on Netflix and at the risk of sounding a bit iconoclastic, I’d like to offer some criticisms and concerns about how the mini-series (perhaps inadvertently) perpetuates some myths related to the online radicalization of men and boys.

The power of view transitions is absolutely mind-boggling. Things like this 👇 are quickly done with some CSS (no hacks!) and no additional DOM elements. Wild! 🤯

Thank you @matsimon.dev for this great blog post explaining $effect.root in Svelte 5! www.matsimon.dev/blog/svelte-... Really cleared up some confusion I had about why $effect.root wouldn't track my changes. 😀

Good read. "The man claims to have principles, but he appears to have only moods and impulses."

Very interesting new #svelte proposal: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/pull/15000 A better, more portable implementation of “actions” called “attachments”.

Elon Musk pretending to be one of the best players of Path of Exile in the world, and then live streaming to prove it... just to show everybody that he has absolutely no clue what he's doing and just bought some Chinese account has got to be one of the funniest things this year so far.

I love the chess drama.

I’m really happy about this. I see way too many people switching to Bluesky because it has not been taken over by a right wing lunatic. But the important thing about Bluesky is not that the company it is controlled by is not insane (yet), but that the network is decentralized!

In case you missed it, #vscode now has an option for custom labels! The #svelte vscode extension will set this automatically in the future, but until then, you can make these changes to optimize your tab labels in a #sveltekit project. github.com/sveltejs/lan...

Just published a post about the new createSubscriber() function in #svelte, and how it helps you manage reactive values from external sources.

Why can't we just use // sharedState.svelte.js export const searchText = $state(""); in the new #Svelte v5? @matsimon.dev was so kind to explain it to me, I turned my learnings (and his answers) into a short blog post: dev.to/mandrasch/sv... Critical feedback welcome! #javascript #webdev

It might be a sign of me getting old that I'm really excited and can't wait for the new washing machine that I just ordered to arrive.

I really don't understand the outcry about Magnus and Nepo deciding to share the world #chess blitz championship title. This has been done in other sports, both agreed to it, and I found it really sweet actually. Not a second was I thinking that they robbed me of an exciting finish.

Glad to see that Magnus is going to play the Blitz World Championship Tomorrow, despite his agreements with FIDE (the chess regulatory body) over his Jeans! #chess #JeansGate

Very nice to see that Node.js is getting TypeScript support without any flags.

FIDE is so antiquated. They banned Magnus, arguably the best player of all time, from playing their last round in the chess world rapid championship *because he was wearing jeans*. I’m all for nobody being above the rules, but these dress codes are just ridiculous. #fide #chess

"There is no argument, that is good enough, to convince me in any world, that you should put 800 classes on an element. There is not a single instance anywhere where I think that that is acceptable." –– @dangitalex.wtf on the compressed.fm podcast I share your sentiment Alex 😁 #tailwind

What a refreshing end of the world chess championship. Both players were so incredibly respectful to their opponent in the press conference after the match that it brought tears to my eyes.

It’s interesting that the emojis show the earth from three angles 🌎 🌍 🌏 but not the fourth. Though 🔵 is a fair approximation of what it would look like. People underestimate the Pacific.

CSS position: sticky, scroll-snap + progressively enhanced scroll animation 📜 li { animation: bright; animation-range: calc(50% - 1lh) calc(50% + 1lh); animation-timeline: view(); scroll-snap-align: center; } @​keyframes bright { 50% { opacity: 1; }} line-height units are a gift 🎁

Really looking forward to the calc-size function to become widely available. It's such a nice syntax. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

We have 6% of the followers here compared to the 100k in X. The vite 6.0 announcement in bluesky already got half the reposts and a third of the likes. And most of the comments and quotes from OSS maintainers happened here. I don't know about other communities, but OSS web dev is a bluesky game now.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont... It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

Just got your prints @chrispiascik.bsky.social ! They look amazing. Thanks for sending them across the pond.

Hopping on the skircle train.
