Pretty exited fo my first blog post on Frontend Masters.

SPFx 1.22 feels like a “2.0” release: new build chain, Heft migration, lots of moving parts.
I wrote up a reproducible, AI-driven upgrade flow (risk assessment → upgrade branch → acceptance build → full docs) + a copy/paste prompt.

Accessibility is a human right, cruelty a human wrong. Once more for the folks in the back. Calibri is easier than Times New Roman for folks with certain visual disabilities to read. That’s why the Biden Administration chose Calibri for their digital communications: to include more people and make life just a wee bit easier for the disabled. And who in their right mind could object to that? You know who, and they’re not in their right mind—unless you’re talking far-right.

Once more for the folks in the back: accessibility is a human right. Your web standards godfather shares thoughts on a small atrocity.

Screenshot from Stefan Bauer's blog encouraging good use of ALT text. For the main image in this screenshot, Stefan suggests the following, "Person working on a laptop in an open-plan office."

Fun, informative read | "Mythbusting: Image Accessibility in SharePoint" by @stfbauer.bsky.social. Get a closer look at how modern SharePoint handles images and accessibility, including the importance of ALT text when using the Image web part.

Bust that myth! n8d.at/mythbusting-...

SharePoint + AI can build pages fast.
It can also amplify bad patterns just as fast.

I wrote a guide for site authors on using the Image web part accessibly – image links, lightbox, captions, “open in new window”, all the spicy bits.

Because it does not need to run an authentication flow before loading assets.

Public:
You have all the tenants on the same CDN and have partitions
there. Like "folders". Only the referring host can load assets
from one particular folder.
Tenant 1 can load /tenant1/ assets.
Tenant 2 can load /tenant2/ but not assets from /tenant1/

This makes public faster.

Difference between public and private:

Private:
you have to authenticate against the CDN to load assets
which is slower.

Fluent UI 9 Typography and SharePoint Framework — Featured image for typography mapping guide

Fluent UI 9 and SharePoint Brand Center finally speak the same language — typography. 🎨
I mapped the missing link between Fluent UI tokens and SharePoint’s custom font slots.

Read it here 👉 n8d.at/mapping-flue...

This command still works but not for the Brand Center - With the new Brand Center you are out of luck to get the theme, deploy or apply it.

This feature was truncated by the brand center and will be stored only in the brand center.

When Copilot agent is in panic mode because it lost a file for the analysis, that was there before :D

GDrive is the Windows 95. You upload a document with a long name and it replaces it with "MyFile~1.docx".

The you have to go in and rename the file and everthing works fine.

Sure you don't need to write you life's story in the filename, but a behaviour like this in 2025?

Input number field have some issues.

Input fields of type number in HTML might seem to be a great option at first glance, but the negative side effects outweight the issues they have.

In my latest blog post I take a deep dive, what those issues are.

is-even-ai Check if a number is even with the power of ✨AI✨. Latest version: 1.0.5, last published: 7 months ago. Start using is-even-ai in your project by running `npm i is-even-ai`. There are no other projects...

Too all the NodeJS developers out there. I found a really usefull tool to check if a number is-even with AI.

Especially usefull when you try to create a random number, because it is statistically 50% right and 50% wrong.

Four years ago I started to implement hTWOo using gulp as the engine driver to compile CSS.

see: lab.n8d.studio/htwoo/

For now I have a custom build chain for SASS, TS and a hot reloader. I call it ICE.
