Randomly looking at your Github profile on a friday night and seeing packages gathering dust with over 350 weekly downloads still makes you feel a little bad. There's probably a lot more that can be done with this little package, but for now a little sprinkle of TLC will do for starters.

GitHub - Assortment/darkmodejs: Utility package for managing Dark Mode on the web Utility package for managing Dark Mode on the web. Contribute to Assortment/darkmodejs development by creating an account on GitHub.

What are friday nights for if not to resurrect an old package with some security updates?

📦`@assortment/darkmodejs` has been updated to ✨v2.0.0 ✨, with a small breaking change due to deprecated methods on MediaQueryList affecting compatibility with older browsers.

Next-level frosted glass with backdrop-filter • Josh W. Comeau Glassy headers have become a core part of the “slick startup” UI toolkit, but they’re all missing that final 10% that really makes it shine. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create the most reali...

One of my favourite UI patterns is using `backdrop-filter` to create a “frosted glass” effect.

When I see this effect in the wild, though, it’s almost never as lush and realistic as it could be. There’s an important optimization that nobody makes.

✨ I share the secret sauce in my brand-new post:

You're Not Creating Enough Prototypes The true value of using design systems to create prototypes and how they impact testing, quantification and assessment of your products.

You know what's hard to find these days? Real accounts of real project work and the factors that contributed to their success.

I wanted to share 3 cases in my career where the prototypes I created made a big difference to real-world projects and how #DesignSystems played a role in their success:

By popular request, here's how to add Bluesky replies as your blog's comment section!

This requires some technical know-how for now, but I'm hoping that we see some no-code solutions for this pop up soon, like Ghost or Wordpress plugins.

Now I know why the blocklist was invented

i remember ten years ago André was working on decentralized social media. back then, i thought it would never catch on due to UX issues. how wrong i was! i didn’t believe in client peer-to-peer for social media — but something like atproto hasn’t even crossed my mind as a possibility 🦋

Being able to see who a person is blocked by, or who they are blocking, on the public api is wild

✅@lukewhite.house

thanks for the recommendation @darn.es

Forget cva, that’s what you should be known for

This reminds me of when I joined Sky slack to that emoji of me looking… compromised (which has sadly now been deleted)

Do I buy a new domain to make my handle smaller? 🤔

Ah yeah looks like it, I think I’m conflating the two thanks 👍🏻

QQ because I’m lazy, can you setup jess@darn.es through Bluesky easily?

Either that or you don’t sleep all night thinking about publishing, I’m betting?

Dependency management is a welcomed alternative to the typical javascript ecosystem with registries.

I sure hope so. Lots of personal life stuff in recent years for me and I feel like I’ve blinked and realised all the awesome folk I respected had moved and were replaced with engagement farming and porn. I hope to recapture that community feeling again here, we’ll see

Finally took the plunge yesterday, wasn’t anything specific from him other than more of the same. I just woke up to the realisation that webdev twitter is now Bluesky

sounds like a lovely little side project

My immediate thought went to an AI tool tbh, not sure how you'd handle that particular use-case otherwise, unless you maintained a map

You were the final straw in taking the plunge into yet another social media platform. What have you done Joe

This would've saved so much time updating old packages in one of work's monorepos recently. Taking that a step further, I'd love a way to collate all the breaking changes for packages together. The ones that are the most annoying are where you go from something like babel-core to @babel/core
