Timberborn added HTTP levers to its automation system — so this dev used ~1,000 of them as bits to encode JSON into binary, flip them via HTTP requests, and read the data back. The crazy thing? It works. { author: @thormeier.dev } @timberborn.bsky.social dev.to/thormeier/ho...

A quick Saturday afternoon project turned into some shenanigans again. I turned Timberborn's in-game automation mechanics into an HTTP storage! You can read about it on @dev.to: dev.to/thormeier/ho... #DEVCommunity #javascript #neverstoplearning

I did something that absolutely should not exist: I added Brainf**k support to JavaScript apps. It uses an unplugin, to transpile this Eso-Lang to JS, and it actually works. Please don't use this in production. Ever. dev.to/thormeier/do... #webdev #DEVCommunity #javascript

⚠️ Don't try this at home: Add Brainf**k support to your JS app today!

Dear Mods of dev.to, please bear with me for this one. This post will have a few profanities, as you...

The mythical "one plugin to rule them all" exists. This dev explores Unplugin—a unified system for creating build tool plugins for Vite, Webpack, and more. { author: @thormeier.dev } dev.to/thormeier/th...

Posting a bit more lately, and I'm highly motivated to keep it going! I published a new post on writing one build tool plugin that works across ecosystems using @unjs.io's unplugin system - the why, how and when. Check it out on @dev.to: dev.to/thormeier/th... #DEVCommunity #webdev #javascript

This. Is. HUGE! drafts.csswg.org/css-forms/ - Finally! Custom selects without external libs, custom checkboxes without :before and :after hacks, custom file uploads without hiding the input! How awesome is that?! #css #webdev

Great talks at the @symfony.com user group Zurich today! Learned about SEAL (thank you @alexander-schranz.bsky.social!) and the future of the #sulu CMS.

Yesterday, I learned the hard way: When writing an #unplugin that transforms code, be as precise as possible. #webpack5 applied the transform to font files, breaking them. @vite.dev didn't, with the same code. Solution: `transformInclude` should explicitly check for files I want to change.

I finally got around to setting my domain as my handle! Love this feature! Now I only need to update it everywhere... Would love it if the website would redirect the old handle to the new one, opening the old profile link throws an error... @bsky.app is there a way around that?

Great question! Config in CSS is more verbose. F.e. color variants are set via `--color-{name}-{shade}` instead of a nested object, so lots of repetition for highly custom configs. Also, this approach merges theme overwrite and extension, meaning default stuff is still around unless overwritten.

Played around a little with @tailwindcss.com v4 yesterday - So far, it feels like learning an entirely new framework, and the everything-is-css approach feels a bit like good ol' SASS. I do, however, like how clean and straight-forward it feels. Different opinions? #webdev #css
