“Improve Security Awareness · Issue #237 · alpinejs/alpine · GitHub”
To make a long story short: avoid using alpinejs in projects that involve user-generated content. The power it adds to basic HTML increases your attack surface substantially.
Watching Jesse James Garrett’s 11 year old talk and reading Christina Wodtke’s overview of the state of IA. It strikes me that Interaction Design didn’t so much kill off Information Architecture as much as the conflict left them both open to being taken over by graphic design.

This feels like an important blog post.
“Introducing Alpine.js: A Tiny JavaScript Framework — Smashing Magazine”
Tailwind and Alpine.js are not for me (I find that they make code unreadable and hard to understand, personally) but a lot of people find them useful, esp. for prototyping.
“Reading Newsletters with Feedbin and Reeder - MacStories”
A lot of newsletter platforms offer RSS feeds so you often don’t need this kind of integration but it’s a neat feature for those few newsletters that are stuck in the dark ages.
The weird thing about today is that it simultaneously felt like Friday and Wednesday when I woke up. Both at the same time. Which was weird. Because it’s neither.

Huh? Interesting approach.

“Fortunately there’s an attention-grabbing output from each test: video.”
If you’re working in software, you just have to get used to the fact that people will periodically rebrand things you’ve did years ago as if it were brand new.
Like, JAMStack. I worked on a website with literally that architecture back in 2006 (pre-render, dynamism using AJAX).

I literally had this conversation at work last week.
