What sort of performance profile do you want to see in your component library/design system before you even START building your app? Don't let your dogs latest $1MM start-up idea get dragged down by bad out of the box decisions (no matter "who" is making […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Various component library providers and their FCP and LCP numbers for a mid-complexity showcase site, no deep functionality, server connectivity, or the like. Just the bones...and how much they cost your users.

Sometimes seeing the art is art in and of itself.

Rendered in emulated CMYK Halftone, a man stands in a minimalist art gallery space looking up a vague figure making itself way across the space. The man wears a yellow shirt and black pants, and appears to have a long beard.

I got "Chicago Sports Fan"...and while you'd think as a proponent of #webComponents I'd be have a kinship with their desperation for a win, but I'm not even I could have that sort of dedication. 🤣 What have you gotten? #halloween #spooky #october #photography

Me as a championship thirsty Chicago sports fan!

I need a sign for this...so I can tap the sign when people need to remember. I just needed to tap it for a colleague. Might not have tapped it if there were a way to make "CSS Resets" lower priority that `:host` rules, but alas...

The Simpsons meme saying "Don't make me tap the sign"... the sign says "!important is a TOOL not an anti-pattern".

Maybe "move fast and break things" always ways "you just have no clue what you're doing"?

Move fast and break things...always has been...I have no clue what I am doing...

$A close-up photograph captures a brown spider web covered in early morning dew droplets, glistening in the soft sunlight. Each individual water droplet acts as a tiny lens, reflecting and refracting the surrounding green foliage. The intricate geometric pattern of the spider web spans between two dark brown tree branches against a blurred background of leaves and twigs. Macro photography with shallow depth of field and natural morning lighting.$

Who can tell which is correct? When visiting codepen.io/Westbrook/pen/gbpMbrb should there be four red squares (Blink) or four vertical red bars/lines (FF/WebKit)? Not sure which is the bug to submit one. Help! #cssWG #testTheWebForward #browserWars

The Blink rendering of this page with four red boxes.

The FF/WebKit rendering of this with four red lines.

@reveai.bsky.social is now (sort of) on the Fediverse, so you can follow the horses mouth straight away! #aiArt #photography #dreams #reveItToLife

The text "Reve is on the Fediverse" written in white chalk on the classroom blackboard from Dead Poets Society, with warm afternoon sunlight streaming through tall windows, illuminating chalk dust particles in the air, creating a nostalgic academic atmosphere

A taste... but you can make your own at preview.reve.art. 🍄 🐘 🌱 #mosstodon #aiArt #elephant #mushrooms

A lush forest scene with oversized mushrooms in vibrant red and orange caps towering several feet tall, their thick white stems resembling tree trunks. Three small elephants, each the size of a house cat, stand beneath the mushroom caps, eating grass and small vegetation from the forest floor. Patches of moss and fallen leaves cover the ground between the mushroom stems, while delicate rays of sunlight filter through the canopy of mushroom caps overhead, creating dappled shadows on the forest floor. Close-up nature photography with shallow depth of field and soft natural lighting filtering through vegetation.

The team preparing last minute changes for the product announcement coming later today... #aiArt #frontendDevelopment #itsHappening

A team of five software developers sit in open office workspace at night, working intently at their computer monitors displaying lines of code. Each developer has multiple monitors, laptops, and energy drink cans on their desks. The office is dimly lit with the blue glow from screens providing most of the illumination. Exposed brick walls and industrial ceiling with track lighting create the tech startup atmosphere, while sticky notes and whiteboards with diagrams cover nearby walls. Empty coffee cups and takeout containers are scattered across the desks, suggesting the late-hour work session. Documentary-style photography with low-key lighting and cool color temperature, emphasizing ambient screen glow in dark environment.

So, I heard they were making a sequel to Twins where Arnold and Danny discovered they had a long lost triplet... Fake news?

@argyleink How to navigate to the second card!?! Second place will not be shunned...or will it?

A CSS-only carousel where the 1st card of the carousel is "active" but the second card is indicated as "active" by the dot navigation. 🥺
