Have you been wishing masonry layouts would just hurry up and arrive in CSS?? Well, happy holidays! webkit.org/blog/17660/i...

❓"When can we expect this feature" Please refrain from asking this question towards open source maintainers. You generally shouldn't "expect" anything. I don't often agree with DHH but his take on OSS being a gift, not something you're entitled to, is something I relate with.

I've gotten oddly good results by downloading an entire library/framework's docs MD collection, putting it in a folder, asking AI agents to make sure everything's set up and up to snuff, and repeat the prompt about 20 times. You can do multiple libraries at a time, too! Works well for project setup.

ESLint depends on sponsorships to pay maintainers. We're operating at a deficit with roughly a junior engineer's salary supporting a dozen maintainers plus awarding outside contributions. Please talk to your company about sponsoring ESLint: https://eslint.org/donate

Help us make MDN even better for you! 📣 We’re running a short survey to understand how developers use MDN in their day-to-day work and learning. ⏱️ Takes ~10 minutes ✅ All questions optional 🔒 Responses are anonymous Take the survey 📝 survey.alchemer.com/s3/8409929/...

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most. So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion. interop-rank.jakearchibald.com

useEffectEvent allows you to create "Effect Events" to split “Event” logic out of the Effect that emits it. Similar to DOM events, Effect Events always “see” the latest props and state, so your Effect doesn't need to re-run when the values change. react.dev/learn/separa...

L take. tabs are objectively better for developer a11y. www.reddit.com/r/javascript...

Did you know that Node.js 22 has glob built in? No dependencies needed. nodejs.org/api/fs.html#...

Just published an #ESLint plugin to catch cases of manual memoization (React.memo, useMemo, useCallback), reminding you to let #ReactCompiler work its magic ✨ Oh, and the docs include React Compiler Playground links so you can see the automatic memoization in action! github.com/BellCubeDev/...

someone said of Wikipedia: “it is a thing that does not work in theory but turned out to work in practice”

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

A number of popular npm packages have been compromised and malicious versions published. Most of these have been removed from the registry. Astro indirectly depends on one that hasn't, so we have published 5.13.6 that pins a safe version.

ok so I checked the #FrontendDev tag after my last post and I don't think I've ever gotten self-promotion and grifter whiplash harder in my life.

React gave me powers. Now I break things faster and with confidence. #ReactJS #FrontendDev

OK so this thing is neat. Will almost certainly become a mainstay of my #FrontendDev workflow. Genuinely makes it easy to see how #responsive designs, well, respond to different screens in one go. And easy to remember to check different screen sizes (hobbyist problems). bsky.app/profile/gith...

I love CSS folks. They are soldiers of joy and delight. The world is burning and AI debates have people at each others throats and CSS peeps keep being like “check out this dancing turtle I made out of divs 🥰”

As a way of combatting my perfectionist tendencies I created a “sketches” section on my blog as a place to put prototypes and “here’s how I solved this problem” type posts without wanting to polish them forever We’ll see if that helps 🤞

I don't even know how a bug like that makes it past typecheck, lint, and code review— It's magical that, in the Year of Our Lord 2025, we still have null value bugs. AI-induced or not, this is impressive.

I feel like using NPM package search is a web developer hazing ritual that nobody every talks about. Now, I don't have any ideas in my head to make it better, but it is far too difficult to find up-to-date, worth-using packages for what you want.

irregular reminder to web developers: test your application with non-default ui/font scales!! especially for mobile sites, the amount of time where ui elements are just like... offscreen, is way too much. #webdev

Someone tell me why I hadn't heard about the Linaria #CSS-in-JS library until this month. It's so good! What if we had all the philosophical benefits of #Emotion (writing real CSS inside your JSX) backed by the performance of CSS modules? I'm in love ❤️ linaria.dev #jsx #nextjs #webdev #devex
