We turned one of our internal tools into a new feature! phonicsandstuff.com/morpheme-puz... We make daily puzzles. I made a simple internal site to help create them. Maybe other people want to make puzzles too! We even added a submission option, so you could be featured as a puzzle maker!

There's an ideal set of sizing constraints for custom <select>, but the CSS is a bit tricky. Here's how to make it work, and a tour of new CSS features along the way. jakearchibald.com/2026/goldilo...

I was in early access and already found this to be an amazing course. Can't wait to dive in now that it's finished.

Clearly, I need to up my game on the interactive elements on our site.

My bracket is looking pretty rough, but still loving this whole thing. madcss.com/bracket/dr-s...

@joshwcomeau.com manages to produce the most insightful, enjoyable posts about what the web can truly do.

Julia is the real brains behind our site. I just make pretty web pages with her data.

I'm messing around with D3 and Svelte to make morpheme graphs. It's a fun playground to see how different morphemes are connected by a base word. Anyone have tips for getting good performance when you have lots of nodes that can be re-arranged?

I'm a few lessons in and already learning new, useful patterns. Excited to get more done tomorrow!

phonicsandstuff.com/puzzles/morp... This was fun to build. Some of the svelte animations are still a bit janky though. Has anyone tried combining slide and flip? Since the content of the element changes it creates gaps before they move together. Probably a limitation of flex box.

Addition Worksheet Creator Create addition facts worksheets from 0 to 10. Why does a phonics website have math worksheets? Because we do phonics AND stuff. The stuff includes math! phonicsandstuff.com/worksheets/m...

The runes stuff took a bit to fully arrive and converting was a bit of a pain, but I've loved all the improvements that keep coming now. I'm excited for the future of Svelte.

@joshwcomeau.com's CSS course is still one of the best courses I've bought. I skipped the React one because I moved to Svelte, but am looking forward to his new one!

This was the first time I'd dabbled into SVG animations. I tried to do them with CSS originally, but kept running challenges. So instead it's a bunch of Svelte 5 state runes and animation frames. It was a lot of fun figuring it all out.

It's the easy little things that can make all the difference.

I just added Google OAuth to our site. Supabase helped make it easier, but the process felt convoluted, especially getting approval from Google. Regardless, it was a good learning experience. I also added a local storage hint so you can see which you used, because I always forget.

I love all the games @neal.fun makes. I spent a long time on absurd trolley problems. Let's see how many hours I'm about to lose.

@syntax.fm is hands down the best web dev podcast. I like the move into video too because sometimes you need to see the code. The reason I chose Svelte for our site was because of @tolin.ski's high praise.

I'm a big fan of the choice to pick a serif too. We opted to use a serif font for our articles because it does seem classier.

Migrating to Svelte 5 has been a chore. I had several dependencies that used 'svelte/internal'. This error is a pain: Error: Your application, or one of its dependencies, imported from 'svelte/internal', which was a private module used by Svelte 4 components that no longer exists in Svelte 5.

I always appreciate Josh's posts because they're filled with great visuals, practical examples and written very clearly. His CSS course is how I actually learned to use CSS properly.

I appreciate any scenario to avoid $effect. I'm still scarred from using it in React.

Bluesky does feel more like the open web. The incentives to not wall people in are why I've enjoyed it thus far. I also like that I was able to easily roll my own auto poster via their API and a cron job.

Hello Bluesky! I'm the main developer on phonicsandstuff.com. I'll be posting fun tidbits about the site's technical back end. Our stack is a big jumble of things, but currently we have Sveltekit, Mongo DB, and Supabase in the mix. Sounds insane? Well, I'm just making it up as I go.
