@ianh@phpc.social that is some bullshit and I’m really sorry. Hope you get a new gig figured out soon.

@mvsde@mastodon.social thank you! I’ll keep an eye on colorspace because that’s exactly what I was looking for.

I saw a few web component color pickers that support extended color pallets, but it would be very nice to have it through the browser.

@teleclimber@social.tchncs.de oh, that is cool! I looked at the Hello World example and I like how simple the user management stuff is.

Over the past couple of weeks I rewrote a personal money-tracking app I made for my kids in 2022. I replaced Nuxt and Tailwind with web components, ExpressJS, and modern CSS—mostly to see what it takes to do it.

I was seriously looking into getting one of those lawnmower robots. I thought maybe the price went down from the last time I looked a few years ago, but I guess it’s only gone up.

I guess I’ll enjoy the extra exercise. 😅

Working on a personal project and spent like 6 hours this weekend messing with NGINX and CORS-related headers, but I finally got my little project working across two separate subdomains on the same server. Today, it just clicked that with a few changes I can get it all working on one.

The good news is that I learned some stuff about Express, Node, and NGINX config. I feel like struggling to get it all working is still the best way to ingrain this stuff deep into your brain.

@BasicAppleGuy@mastodon.social I only know about this because I have kids who watch the shows. There is a whole line of Pear-based tech devices in the Dan Schneider universe: https://icarly.fandom.com/wiki/Pear_Company

I’m leaning towards re-writing it in Node/Vanilla JS and HTML since upgrading it might take just about as much time. I was planning on removing Tailwind and rewriting and re-structuring the HTML anyway. #WebDev

I’m at a crossroads of do I update the framework for a project that hasn’t needed updating in a few years so I can make a few changes, or do I gut the framework, make the whole thing more web platform-friendly, and set it up so I won’t have to deal with this again the next time I’m in this position?

Also, while I don’t feel like I’m “allergic” to frameworks, I find myself no longer assuming one is needed. I’m still not sure how I feel about LLMs, yet, but I wonder if I’ll come to the same place eventually.

This post by @adactio@mastodon.social says a lot of things that I’m thinking about as a web developer these days. It’s a really great blog post.

As of last night I got through the list of things in here: https://wbrowar.com/article/code/critique-my-web-component-please#project-goals I also went down a path of a new feature that I think wraps up all of the 2.0 items! Just need to finish some tests 😀 #WebComponents #CSS #JavaScript #HTML #CraftCMS

I’ve been making some progress on the 2.0 branch! Keyboard navigation is done, but I’m still working out focus-visible styles. I also added aria-labels where I think they make sense. Plus made it easier to extend these components. #WebComponents #CSS #JavaScript #HTML #CraftCMS
