Josh Crain

I've avoided this stretch of the trail ever since. joshcrain.io/notes/2025/t...

Let's make AI jealous. Write what Al can't touch. Humans can think with their heads, hearts, and bodies. Try moving your hands. It's fine if your mind remains a jumble. Ideas scattered across the paper. Sometimes they connect by chance, and something new is born.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I made a design connection so I wrote (and drew) about it. joshcrain.io/notes/2025/t...

What is everyone using to test #webcomponents for #ally? I've used Axe for accessibility testing.

Wonderful ❤️

2025. I’ve been building websites for over 25 years! I’m an optimistic type, yet I can’t help but feel uninspired in the popular direction of our field in this moment. There's still meaningful work to do here to be sure, but the driving trend to automate every creative step has become rather... sad.

Santa brought me a pack of Topps baseball cards with a Paul Skenes RC.

Home with a sick kid so it’s a draw Superman kind of day.

Pentametron was one of the great web art projects, retweeting couplets of accidentally iambic tweets. Thanks to Bluesky's open feed, I have resurrected the concept.. Behold @iambic.bot!

Web components solve a lot of problems for me. I'm always excited to learn more and see what problems they solve for others. Plus @scottjehl.com is a great teacher.

I had an experience in the early days of Twitter I'm reminded of. I asked a question and someone was kind enough to respond. It helped a lot—but the generosity from a random person is what I remember. Losing that part of Twitter was disappointing and maybe what I'm responding to here.

I get a fair amount of requests for permission to use my personal @11ty.dev site as a template for some other site. I've intentionally not included a license but IDK. What do people do?

Decided to create a Starter Pack that's the intersection between #WebComponents and #DesignSystems. Would love to add more people who are actively building Web Components into their design systems

Years ago, I saw this video of Scorekeeper and I still think about it. I was so blown by the fun interactions and UI. Originally developed for Blackberry Playbook then iOS by Matt Rix. It took some searching because I couldn't remember the name. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXqX...

If you have a domain you can make it you Bluesky handle. Thanks @matthiasott.com for the easy walkthrough (as always). matthiasott.com/notes/how-to...

Just digging into my @11ty.dev site tonight.

Here's a drawing from my sketchbook I would like to share with my 0 followers.
