Had a lot of fun re-building ehungry.com from scratch. I even had some time left for design CSS fun on the Features page and the Bento section on the homepage.

@jim-nielsen.com has excellent notes with tons of references... including a neat experiment with JavaScript’s URL constructor.

Shouldn’t @property be called custom values instead of custom properties? Following the logic that in ‘display: block;’, display is the property while block is the value 🤔

Webpage layout example, dark background, light text, and light separator lines between the various items like header, navigation, and between various pieces of text and images in the main content. The lines are horizontal and vertical, and have different styles.

Magazine-like webpage, with a header, navigation, three articles, and a sidebar with a sudoku game grid. The various pieces of the UI are visually separated with horizontal and vertical lines of different styles. The sudoku game grid has differently styled lines too, which are also achieved with the CSS gap decorations feature.

A notebook sheet demo web page. It has a date, title, and then some lines of text in the main area of the page. There's a line that separates the header, the footer, and a line for the margin on the side. In the main area, there are also more subtle lines where the text is written.

A magazine-style layout demo. The site is called "The Daily Oddity", and it has fake articles about weird facts and news. The site uses multiple columns of content, which are separated by vertical and horizontal lines to make them more visually distinct.

The ability to style grid and flex gaps is coming fast in a browser near you!
Bubbling with ideas for what this will be useful for!

Fair point. Looks like they got the first 50 examples from Claude. Not sure what Qwen2.5-Coder-7B is trained on. Maybe @zed.dev can provide more context.

Is that also the case with open source models and open data like this one?

Should FOSS allow AI contributions? I believe that the responsability of which tools to use should fall on the contributors, not the open-source projects.

Nice, reminds me of the shaping step from Shape Up. A nice amount of space for creativity.

@clagnut.com @bell.bz Curious what tools do you use for designing in the browser? Polypane + smth like VSCode Live Preview?

The Enshittification of Dribbble is Complete While stumbling onto Dribbble, I saw a post (and its... expected comment section) that served as a microcosm of the current state of a once beloved service.

“To see somebody I’ve never met pour their heart out about a site they really loved, only to be met with comments that are devoid of any humanity—it hurts. It hurts all the more because we’re seeing this everywhere.” – @bryanvelo.so

Mind-opening, thanks for sharing.

Would that view align with using no AI to help with coding at all? I'm guilty of using it to write JS for me though I can totally see how destructive that could be if you decide to rely on it on 100%. It does help a lot with learning new concepts though, combined with MDN.

Same with apps, countless number of brilliant silent creators. Would be great to have a decent list.

I’ve been considering this for a while, thank you for the discount 🙌

That is so awesome! Just wanted to say I love your book "Web Typography", it has become my go-to typography book, I literally look it up at least once a week.

I'm excited to see that after 10 months of hard work by the team at Nolus, the new design of the dApp that we worked on last year is now live. I've learned so much from this project. Thanks for having me, Nolus 🙌

Feel for it as well 😇

Penpot: The Design Tool for Design & Code Collaboration Penpot is the open-source free design software that connects designers and developers with no handoff drama. Prototyping, UI design and code - all in one app.

Just had another look at @penpot.app to see what's new. Turns out it's almost ready to replace Figma for me, the only thing missing is variables.

If at some point we have the option to write custom CSS inside that would be 👌🏻

Oh, definitely, that sounds like a great idea 😊

Springroll - Order Your Favorite Asian Food

We released springroll.com two months ago. We built this MVP with 2 designers and two developers for 4 months but what got me excited is that it was the first time I saw how fast small teams could move. And now I am hooked and want to do this over and over again 😊

• Rely on the page `<title>` to give a summary/overview of what the page is about
• Bring up a list of landmarks to jump to key parts of the page
• Bring up a list of headings on the page to get a sense of structure (and to navigate)
• Find all links on the page
• Get a list of form elements

Funny how that reminds of aunt Léonie’s lifestyle sans the sleepless nights.
