What CSS property do you always have to look up the syntax for? Most of us have to look up stuff all the time, but there's probably that one you know you're going to look up before you even try 😅 asked-100-devs.netlify.app

Anyone with #OneTrust beware. They want to 15x our monthly cost from double digits to triple digits. We are just 1 domain with a not exciting amount of users. Been with them for years. Can't make this stuff up. #webdev #cookieconsent #gdpr #privacy

Immediate negative points for any game on PC which pops up first thing with: "pLuG iN a CoNtRoLlEr FoR tHe BeSt ExPerIenCe ThE wAy We InTeNdEd". Then you find the obscure skip button, play with your mouse/keyboard, and see a controller would have made absolutely zero difference to the experience 🙄

I made this "ad" for one of Cursor's recent features. It finally solves the terrible problem of knowing CSS.

As Pratchett said:
“They avoided one another's faces, for fear of what they might see mirrored there. Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I'm not stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard...
No one said anything. The cowards, thought each man.”

A four cell image of a dude holding a dog like a baby with a sad looking cat in the background. The shot zooms in on the cat as the cells progress.

The first labels the person as developers and the dog as developer experience.

In the third cell, the cat is labelled as users trying to load the website you built.

I needed a bit more precision when searching for Bluesky users, so I built this user search app - and ended up fleshing it out more than planned! 😅 Would delighted to hear if you find it useful. 🔗 bluesky-user-search.netlify.app
A screenshot of the "Bluesky user search" interface from https://bluesky-user-search.netlify.app/ with a search query for "frontend." The interface includes options to search within "Name/Handle" and "Bio," both of which are checked. There is also an "Omit" field for excluding terms. Below the search bar are seen results users matching the search.
