Found this pattern useful for a couple personal projects, figured I'd take the opportunity to publish as the first post on my site. nickbreaton.com/posts/passke...

Oops. I invented a new CSS shrink-wrap technique and blogged about it. blog.codepen.io/2026/09/11/s...

The best way I could think to honor her was through my craft

Okay Effect Atom is freaking 🔥 So many state management solutions out there, but none of them achieve the pit of success for a large team on a non-trivial SPA. Atom feels like it might, but still early days.

This made HSL click for me

Oh my god you can finally record a single window in macOS!

Have you been meaning to learn how to use CSS Subgrid? Here’s a very practical and straightforward how-to from @saron.bsky.social! webkit.org/blog/17339/s...

SvelteKit remote functions are now available under an experimental flag. Docs here: svelte.dev/docs/kit/rem...

Some really neat unlocks coming to Svelte

If your deploy doesn’t cause a CSP violation, you shipped too late.

console.log('this is ' + (Array<0>(0) ? 'typescript' : 'javascript'))

I don’t use Svelte that heavily but never miss an opportunity to listen to Rich speak

✨Heads up! Observables are shipping natively to a browser near you soon! Huge thank you and congrats to @domfarolino.com ❤️ I've helped / worked on / watched this through different standards bodies for more than 10 years now. ☠️ (I'm going to have a lot of work now to adapt RxJS to this 😅)

A strategy I’ve also found useful for aligning form inputs with varying length labels and error messages. Less pretty example:

🤩 Scroll-Driven Animations got switched on by default in WebKit! github.com/WebKit/WebKi... This means that the next Safari Technolgy Preview release should have it, and that a stable release might follow soon 🤤 ℹ️ Learn all about SDA over at scroll-driven-animations.style

This is a phenomenal attack chain by @brutecat.com, to get the PII of any individual YouTube user (patched before publication through responsible disclosure): brutecat.com/articles/lea...

Neat way to make an interactive element with a ton of content accessible. The label being really long felt off. The strategy they take here is essentially to render an clickable element and stretch it across the other content.

The design system team meeting implementors for the first time

Got my first passkey auth working on a side project thanks to @millerti.me’s SimpleWebAuthn!

Platforms should take inspiration from one another. As a web dev working in SwiftUI, check this out: Here's a navigation transition accomplished by leveraging a combination of withAnimation and .matchedGeometryEffect() to transition between shared objects

Being able to re-parent an iframe without losing state is going to be huge

And just like that, I’ve written my first production lines of Rust! > Fixed detection of git remotes when using SSH and username is not "git"

Woah, `ref` as a function is secretly so powerful. No more `undefined` checks and useEffects just to add some document event listeners. Handle everything with a function in-line 👍

Hi new web dev followers! Here's the best tweet I've managed in 12 years, just so you know where the ceiling is on this account

Implement from scratch. Feel the pain of complexity. Understand where the pain comes from. Finally... install that helper package

Soon you will be able to see the code that ended up in the bundle directly from `sonda`. Debugging tree-shaking issues will be so much easier. This is the feature that made me create this package in the first place, and I'm so happy to have it working. www.npmjs.com/package/sonda

how to fix 80% of bugs 1. find unnecessary accumulating state 2. derive it from existing stuff on the fly
