“Creating an Editable Textarea That Supports Syntax-Highlighted Code - CSS-Tricks”
This was way smarter than I expected.
We’re in a world where monolithic SPAs are ‘traditional’ and binding JS to individual elements after rendering is a modern ‘islands architecture’
On the one hand: this makes me feel grumpy and old
On the other hand: rebranding trad methods might get people to make better sites
“Google is testing FLoC on Chrome users worldwide. Find out if you’re one of them.”
“‘Agility Theatre’ Keeps Us Entertained While Our Business Burns – Codemanship’s Blog”
The only thing I’ll add to that is that quite often the development processes are agile and quite functional but it’s management that doesn’t change it’s mind
“Remotion: A framework for making videos in React - LogRocket Blog”
Here’s an interesting idea. It brute forces rendering by screenshoting a frame at a time using Puppeteer before combining using ffmpeg. Probably gets more reliable playback that way.

Looks useful and interesting.
“Users of the iOS Discord App Will Be Unable to Access NSFW Channels — Pixel Envy”
The problem with Apple’s puritanism in the app stores isn’t just the puritanism itself but also the inconsistency—the fact that it blatantly lets big companies break its rules.
“How to fight back against Google FLoC - Plausible Analytics”
I hadn’t realised just how goddamn invasive Google’s plans are with FLoC.
“Distributed Persistent Rendering (DPR) · Discussion #549 · jamstack/jamstack.org · GitHub”
Has the reasoning behind Netlify’s on demand build feature and a good discussion of what it’s good for.
“Get Faster Builds for Large Sites on Netlify: On-demand Builders”
The snarky response here would be “that’s just server-side rendering, Netlify!” but that isn’t what they’ve done.
Netlify has turned SSR into a composable, encapsulated commodity
“How to Sign Users In with IndieAuth • Aaron Parecki”
I really like IndieAuth as a tech (basically a more manageable profile of Oauth) but suspect that it has little appeal outside of indieblogger circles.
“TBM 15/52: Stop Hiring Things to Do Too Many Jobs - The Beautiful Mess”
This is excellent advice that too few follow.
“Robin Rendle ･ How To Be Hopeless”
Every Brit I know seems to think that the result of the Brexit vote heralded the arrival of fascism. It didn’t.
Politicians campaigning on a platform of calling foreigners vermin marked the arrival of fascism
“The Trouble With Objects – Codemanship’s Blog”
“Millions of people around the world read OO code the wrong way around.”
This could work. Now you just need to fix selection APIs and make it work with accessible modal implementations 👍🏻

“A generic HATEOAS client for Javascript”
Ketting is one of the more interesting experiments in web dev that I’m seeing ATM. Really want to try it in a real project.
