JS peeps: I need your help!
I’m looking for a tiny library/framework that will render DOM in a performant way (patching rather than blowing away existing DOM) and doesn’t use unsafe eval (no eval function and no new Function).
I feel like there should be plenty of choices but I’m having trouble finding much.

Apple Human Interface Guidelines, 1987, pg. 16
“Computers hold tremendous promise for people with many kinds of disabilities. In terms of increasing productivity and mobility, computers can have a far greater impact on disabled people than on other users. … Many of the modifications that make programs easier for disabled people to use are simple and inexpensive to make, and they often have a welcome and unexpected side effect—the programs are easier for everyone to use.”

I’m really loving Commit Mono for coding. It’s a neutral typeface with a feature called “smart kerning” that makes characters appear more evenly spaced while preserving monospacing.

I've been on a quest to eliminate build steps from web projects wherever possible. The side effect of that is that I've been using vanilla JS a lot more, and in turn have been learning a lot.
I used to only work with vanilla JS, and I was actually intimidated by jQuery at first when I started seeing it everywhere.
Learning a framework is always a little risky because you don't know how long it will be relevant. But learning vanilla JS always seems like a good investment for a web dev.

I'm just noticing that a few days ago, my post about making a variant of Solitaire got a swell of traffic.
These are the funnest solitaire rules I've ever played, I think.
