I’ve just walked the entire length of the Elizabeth Line train whilst it was in motion from the front to the back. #LifetimeFirsts

@miocene.io I just watched your CSS battle with @kevinpowell.co and was like wow! Then watched one of your videos - the dog one which was incredible. I'm just wondering what browser you were using in the video. Looks like Chrome but not quite Chrome?

@storyblok.com you might want to investigate blok.ink. We were looking at it to see what it does for a Design System and it's giving me a 404 error. See attached screenshot.
A screenshot of the Design System for Storyblok - https://blok.ink that is displaying a 404: NOT_FOUND page. It includes the Code: 'DEPLOYMENT_NOT_FOUND' error alongside with a ID. A message also saying 'This deployment cannot be found. For more information and troubleshooting, see our documentation.'

At some point, @vscode.dev made Image Preview the default editor for SVGs. Here's how to change it back to text. 😅

@bell.bz I’m wondering if there are any plans to release that t-shirt of yours that you proudly showed off at #FrontEndNorth as I saw a comment that said August! 👀🙏🏻

behold the "HTML bomb" It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper Item #6 in my latest "Linkfest" newsletter: buttondown.com/clivethompso...
A Chrome browser error page displays the familiar “Aw, Snap!” message, indicating that something went wrong while loading a webpage. A pixelated frowning file icon with Xs for eyes appears at the top left. Below, the error code reads “Out of Memory,” suggesting the browser ran out of system resources. The page includes a “Reload” button in blue on the bottom right

📝 New CSS Article! Do you want to have an overview of what modern CSS can do? Check my latest article @frontendmasters.com frontendmasters.com/blog/infinit... Learn how I made that infinite marquee animation with less than 10 lines of CSS using shape(), sibling-index(), and more!

Infinite Marquee Animation using Modern CSS
A row of logos that animate forever perfectly and don't have any duplicated HTML or JavaScript at all is quite a trick. Thanks modern CSS!

Had a brilliant day at @frontendnorth.bsky.social! All the talks were excellent + the atmosphere was lovely. If you want to see my slides and relive the nonsense, they’re at html2.toddle.site And of course, they were built with “fictional” GUI of the future: @nordcraft.com 🤓 #FrontEndNorth

💡 CSS Tip! Because the new sibling-*() functions are verbose and sibling-index() is 1-indexed, I wrote my own functions! css-tip.com/element-index/ Less characters to type when writing complex formulas.

Morning from Gidea Park, London. On my way up to #FrontEndNorth by train!

Bring a **rad** `clip-path` transition to your light/dark toggle switch with a progressively enhanced `view transition`. Try it cdpn.io/pen/debug/NWZZPLZ Source codepen.io/argyleink/pen/NWZZPLZ nerdy.dev/light-dark-view-transitio…
