Great job, Brian, and thank you for publishing this as a package so everyone can easily benefit from the icons! 🙌

Adding file icons to Expressive Code frames Adding and customizing file icons for your Expressive Code frames

I've been working on a new website built with @astro.build & @tailwindcss.com and after far too long the first post is now up!

Along the way I built a couple Expressive Code plugins. One of them adds file icons to code blocks which is what this post is about.

Wow, thank you for all your effort writing about it! I just subscribed to your newsletter and will make sure to check it out. 😊

✨ Really happy with how much better the code snippets look on my Astro-powered site now! I used to think presenting code was a chore, and honestly, the results were often just... boring & flat. 😩

Oh my, thank you so much, Luciano! I‘m glad you like Expressive Code. This is my first open source project, and it started as a custom solution I built for Astro Docs. People kept asking if they could get these code blocks for their own sites as well, and so Expressive Code was born. :)

Looking great! Love the colorful lighting. Maybe you can get it to shine on even more of the wall? I think I have the same Arturia KeyStep as you have on the left, but you even got two of them? Wow! Every time I move mine around, I‘m surprised how heavy the little thing is. 😄

Aww, thank you so much! I'm glad you like it. 😊
