Being disabled and watching time simply pass by is depressing. But being disabled and witnessing people around me die, without even being able to be there for them, is depressing in an entirely different way.

Finally meeting many of the awesome faces from the OSS world in real, feels like taking off a VR headset you had on for far too many years. Thanks to all @zurichjs.com organizers for making this possible, I am grateful for having been able to witness such a masterful event ❤️💪! *notification beep*

We've successfully expanded beyond react. Our first version of solid support is up. npmx.dev/package/@yak... We're working on making this better and faster, but it's great to see that our concept works across frameworks. Let's see which framework comes next 🕵️
npmx.dev
@yak/solid - npmx
SolidJS runtime for yak: styled-components syntax, compiled to plain CSS at build time. Targets Solid 2.

Aaaand, the Store Finder is released as well :] - this will become available as built-in (open source) blueprint in Nitropage later, the code needs a bit more cleaning-up before general use. llum-spectacles.com#get-yours

In the localization abstraction I am designing for my CMS, you will be able to change most of the settings on localization level. E.g. you will be able to show different images depending on language :). But this opens up a tough question:
000
Katja Lutz 🦋🇨🇭 @katywings.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
Should a localization abstraction allow the switch of the default language by design? E.g. you have an english/german website, english being the default, now you wanna switch to german as the default - must this always be possible, even if it means more work for the user?

If you have a website builder project with 120 building blocks, but each page only uses 5-15% of the available blocks, would you use Tailwind or CSS Modules 🤔?

Quick @tailwindcss.com tip: Explicitly define src as source directory. This way Tailwind won't unnecessarily scan through irrelevant directories. Depending on project size this will dramatically improve your dev server performance. tailwindcss.com/docs/detecti...

Having to work online together with people who hate to communicate is tough... always feels like they are ignoring you deliberately, or maybe even hate you. But they probably just are chatting with an LLM at the moment.

In an alternative reality, Solid v2 is still sync-first, still does not require dependency arrays for effects, has alien signals, directly exports createAsync without solid-router and gets rid of ref magic and the classList prop. Would you be interested in this alternative reality?

One of the worst feelings in foss is when you worked your nose off to make something work properly, only for all your work to be replaced again couple months later, with completely different code from someone else, not caring about the details, reintroducing all the bugs you previously fixed.
