What if there was a Web Components conference?? @stuffbreaker.bsky.social and I are teaming up to get a little more serious about the idea of getting one together. We want to gather data on if there is interest in the community forms.gle/ZGqtYGj7V6q8... Please fill out and share to anyone!

Special birthday edition of Tupo today!* *There is actually nothing special about it. But it IS really my birthday, and Monday is a great day to start, so I'd love it if you played, or just shared it with somebody who might like it. :) playtupo.com

And @geoffgraham.me is scheduled to come on wireframe.ds.house to talk all about it tomorrow!

Ayyyy let’s go!

ok Brazil went first, Texas, it’s your turn. do the right thing!

"The native-first guidance was deliberate, an attempt to convince AI to reach for the platform before abstracting." Yes, because more abstractions means more complexity, more mess, and more tokens. Great take 👏 castastrophe.blog/blog/on-writ...

Shopify moved checkout off React and onto web components. Bundles shrank 40–85%. www.infoq.com/news/2026/10...

Every time the Design team presents a new component with text in English that barely fits in the available space...

For the first time in a LONG time, I have been coding a little bit. It is a little scary how fast I forget things, and I have decided to start at the absolut beginning. I have found a course by @kevinpowell.co to help me do just that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1L2Y...

Good news (I hope): CSS-Tricks will indeed be back later this month!

Web Awesome works in React, Vue, Svelte, Astro, Rails, and that .html file from 2009 you're scared to open. They're web components. They don't care about your framework drama.

Horrible day here in Bend, Oregon. My daughter is OK.

Many devs are frustrated with management enforcing AI at work, especially when they're required to use it all the time. In a recent video I encouraged people to talk with their managers as much as they can about this, but the issue, at least in some places, is the mandate comes from the very top...

ugh, i can’t stand painting trim! it’s a ton of setup and work to not get paint all over the carpet, but when you’re done it doesn’t even look like you did anything! painting mine from slightly off white to actual white. you can only tell the difference when the two colors are next to each other!

I'm not gonna lie, I'm still bummed about `@custom-media` going nowhere, but now that container style queries have reached Baseline, you can use them to name your breakpoints with a little trick. https://www.abeautifulsi...

Be honest, have you ever used the `touch-action` CSS property? If not, here's what it's about. 👇 https://piccalil.li/blog...

The amount of comments on @kevinpowell.co's recent videos saying 'CSS is dead', or 'Surely Claude can just do it', or 'Opus could one-shot it', or other permutations of the same thing is so disappointing. His GTA VI video is great. Worth a watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi1M...

…i can’t even begin to understand how this was done. friggin cool though!

Rest in peace, Queen Margaret

I love posts like this from @zachleat.com (2 weeks ago - because, yes, I'm slow): www.zachleat.com/web/ai-websi... I love them because I don't actually need to read anything and from the (rather fancy) live speedruns, you can see the whole point visually. And wow, how is big tech so shit at this?

all im saying is only one entry there is 100% admired

how it feels to get better at AI coding

"<rich-input> demo" by Bramus codepen.io/editor/bramu... Pretty impressive combination of new web tech to make this happen: <datalist>, the OpaqueRange API, and the CSS Custom Highlight API.

cool. but now I want an apology from all my enemies and everyone who said I was too "front-end" and not enough "full-stack".
