Am I imagining things, or are there features in web browsers’ developer tools to detect synthesized / faux font weights? #webdev #WebDevelopment #CSS

Any idea how to make <details> render as open in CSS (need it for print)?

I got tricked into clicking on this article. But there is a pretty cool scrolling animation in it.

Welp, #kukei is kinda broken right now. If I don't find any solution to the problem (500 on any search that contains "css" keywords, which is like.. a bummer for a #webdev focus search engine xD) I'll start indexing from scratch I guess.

Wow reading this thread makes my front-end blood boil: “How to handle lack of respect towards frontend teams?” #WebDev

Some websites use a footer menu and ALSO load more content when you scroll to the bottom. The result being that you know the menu is there but every time you see it, it moves further away.
Am I wrong to want designers of these websites to be dropped in the ocean?

what's your best practices for messaging on a website update / rolling release / maintenance window?
UI pop-up that says the maintenance is soon / right now?
some way to quiet down the operations prior to the cut-over (if incompatible)?
all those crazy "we'll keep the old DB up and the new schema and backfill" things?
sometimes things can upgrade in place, a node at a time
sometimes the connections are never fully... drained...
maybe you could per-user feature flag upgrade them to the new flow...

Introduction to Components
Components are the core building block in which all applications written with React, Angular, and Vue are built. Let's explore what they are and how to build them.

This video cracked me up 😂

#webdev folks, do you have any recent data on effectiveness of CSS/JS minification? (vs just gzip/brotli)

I gotta say as a frontend dev, Builder.io is killing it in the CMS game right now. They're doing everything a headless drag-drop CMS should be.

Jokes aside though, great idea to mess with us readers ;)

A common talking point of CSS & separation of concerns is the idea that you can just swap out the CSS for different CSS to have a whole new design.
That’s neat and all, but the real-world need is the opposite: the HTML changes ALL. THE. TIME. Write your CSS so it works with changing content.

Setting up Auth0 is harder then I thought. #webdev https://auth0.com/docs/get-started/architecture-scenarios/spa-api

Single-Page Applications (SPA) with API
Explains the architecture scenario where a single-page application (SPA) talks to an API using OpenID Connect (OIDC), and the OAuth 2.0 Implicit Grant Flow, to authenticate users with Auth0.

“I would argue that in some ways, MT in 2004 was better software than WordPress is TODAY.”
I have done a bunch of freelance work over the years and I’ve always stayed away from WordPress - a WP installation always ends with installing a bunch of plugins that don’t quite work together, and you get a fragile mess that breaks if you look at it wrong.

I had a lot of fun (and frustration) developing a pure-CSS contraption that takes plain book cover images and assembles a small gallery. 😁
1) It adds a "bevel gradient" to give the effect of a book cover.
2) It sets the background gradient.
3) And it pseudorandomly tilts the books.

I got tons of spammy queries on kukei.eu. It looks like someone posts some ai generated blog posts in the query input.
Not that it harms me and I will tackle this by I guess banning entire russian IPs (it all comes from this one country) but I wonder what's the point?

It feels like #enshittification is an inevitable result of browsers gaining popularity.
Back in the old days, when I was still doing some WebDev, #Microsoft had a monopoly with its #InternetExplorer. It really sucked because they didn't care about web standards. For me, it meant testing my website under #Mozilla, #Opera (back when it used the Presto engine) and then adding awful hacks to make it work under IE (Safari was practically nonexistent in Poland). But the remaining browsers had their small foothold.
Then came #Google with its #Chrome, and we were really enthusiastic about it. Little did I know what was to come later. After all, it was a reasonably portable browser, with an open source engine, that followed standards. On top of that, it had a good chance of ending Microsoft's monopoly — and that was great news, because it meant that one day we wouldn't have to worry about compatibility with IE.
So there came a time when Chrome took over a major share of the browser market. Microsoft replaced IE with Edge. Eventually all the main browsers were using WebKit, Blink or a related engine which made life easier for WebDevs. Mozilla's small market share diminished even further.
Then things went to shit. Google showed its true colors, and abused its monopolist position in every possible way. Standards compliance ended up meaning very little, when the monopolist controls the standards. Being open source helps but there's only as much that volunteers can do when dealing with a corporate giant.
One positive aspect of this is that as GAFAM keeps shooting at their feet, Firefox started gaining popularity again. And it's a much better browser than it used to be back in the day. And what happens next?
Of course, as soon as Mozilla notices they're gaining market share, they're starting their own enshittification. Instead of embracing the users who appreciate what Firefox is right now, they are being greedy and trying to lure more people with buzzwords. This isn't going to end well.
