This site is peak web design to me. A team at squarespace worked with Luigi’s to “renew” the site recently (and I had nothing to do with it). But I think they nailed it, particularly on desktop. www.luigispizzabrooklyn.com

The 8hr course remains just $25 with the coupon, or you can pay whatever you want—even $0—by emailing me. In between jobs? In school? Whatever, I don’t need a reason. Hit that contact form and learn a bit about web components. 👊

Anyone notice a recent change with @netlify.com’s costs for static builds? The hourly 11ty builds (for weather forecast data fetches) that I’d been running for months without issue on their free plan now seem like they’ll use up all the credits of even the first two paid-tier plans in under a week?

I consider myself a person who knows a lot about CSS... but @miriam.codes' knowledge eclipses mine by ~10,000%. She brings an artistry to the discipline of authoring CSS and I'm sure anyone – whether newbie or old-timer like myself – can learn a lot from her course.

The rainy weekend here in NYC gave me some time to make something I'd been thinking about making for a while. Artwork was done in pencil, then retraced in Procreate, plus Figma for some of the vectors. 11ty build with NOAA data. Just ordered a t-shirt. Enjoy. dollarslice.nyc

If you want to learn all about web components from a human then check this out: Web Components Demystified online course is $10 this week (it'll go back to the usual $25 deal after that). It's 8 hours of video lessons, or 4 if you listen at 2x, which wouldn't offend me at all. Use the code Just10.

centralised design system components that rely on a specific front-end framework has always felt like such an anti-pattern. framework lock-in from day one is wild. i'm sure i'm missing something but switching to framework-agnostic web components has been so freeing.

One apparent consequence of all this generative ai fervor is I've been drawing again. Sure, perhaps in spite, but I even drew something I liked enough to order it on a shirt. Never done that before. So, thanks?
