Oh man, how can we get browsers to ship #CSSanchorPositioning? #css is saving JS once again and we need to make this possible in all browsers!!!

[#]webkit & #mozilla where you at?

Can we just have import style from './style.css' with { type: 'css' }; already!?

The world would be a better place.

Fairies would dance in fountains and all that shit. I'm serious.

Your component system should be as flexible to other components joining the party as possible. Don't lock specific design or functional delivery to system specific decisions like icons or the like, surface customization so it's easy for consumers to expand on what you've made available for them.

Am I the only one that is surprised that URLPattern (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/URLPattern) doesn't have a reciprocal method to .match() that allows you to build a URL string from data?

Or worse, am I the only one who can't see how that is possible from the API as currently available?

TFW: you think you've made a slam dunk argument in a GitHub issue and then there are issues in the GitHub issues APIs and you are prevented from submitting the message all together...

🤦‍♂️

TFW: you’re torn between your burning desire to get a new web platform feature and the reality that the version under discussion is likely wrong and will cause confusion for many developers after you.

These 1s and 0s we work with, they're like dust. Just because they can be swept into a pile that might look like a castle doesn't mean a gust of wind won't blow through and leave a nondescript mound in it's wake. You should get ready to be the wind yourself, especially in service of your end goals/customers/etc, rather than attempting to laminate the pile in defence.

TFW: You're using a UI pattern with expectations from long experience of building for the web (e.g. making labels toggle checkboxes) but they're not being met. 🤦‍♂️ You check out the implementation in DevTools, it's that component library, I should complain to them. 💡 Then on the next page of the form... working as expected. 😖

Audit tools are possibly more important that build tools. Don't let that one consumer using your code wrong give others a bad impression. Support consumers to success! 🤝

Sometimes (most times?) (always?) software is better with friends...

This mornings got to hangout with some members of the #webComponentsCG and read the latest proposal for Scoped Custom Elements Registries. 🏗️

https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/10854

Have you checked it out? Have thoughts? 👂

The community group will be meeting with implementors soon to hopefully iron out any final issues as we move towards getting the API agreed on cross browser. 🥰

Strangely the amount of time it takes to plan out the best shit posts is about the same amount of time it takes to get over wanting to shit post...

How cool is that...amirite?

['a', 'a 20', 'a 1', 'a 2', 'a 12'].sort((a,b) => ("" + a).localeCompare(b, undefined, {numeric: true}));

['a', 'a 1', 'a 2', 'a 12', 'a 20']

NOT

['a', 'a 1', 'a 12', 'a 2', 'a 20']

If you update your copyright to "this year" that means it doesn't technically cover the work you did before this year... 😱

You can have a "spread" (e.g. "x year - 2025") but don't jump to change a value if it doesn't actually serve the rights you want to exert over your work. ©️

But in the end, do you! 😉

Looking forward to catching up with Santa in the skies tonight on the way back from Japan. He’s only got a few more stops, so hopefully he’ll have a chance to hang. Always so busy that guy!

I’m sure this has been asked a million times, but with the preponderance of CSS resets in the world, has there ever been spec discussion around an API to remove the user agent sheet? A sort of :root { appearance: none; } or so? Then the various “years” of CSS base her could be broken into built-in @​layers that a page could opt-in to…

It’s always amusing to find CSS properties that are “Baseline: widely available” in their browser prefixed form 🤭

I’m looking at you -webKit-text-stroke… 🤨
