Like did you know you could do this with the template element?

This mostly exists so there's a way to server side render web components. It's ashame there isn't a way to define custom elements like this. I've seen some talk of a HTML module spec which sounds cool, unsure if it does that tho.

Maybe I'm too JS brained but beyond cosmetics I've never really gotten this one, like I have found custom tag names in the inspector nice.

Once you can define the custom tags with their own reusable local styles in HTML itself with zero JS.

CSS in the last 10 years has gotten so much better. CSS Vars, Container queries, Grid layout, nested selectors, even localised styles with shadow dom.

That and generally the extent to which layout engines optimise animations in the GPU, so stuff like SVG filters aren't slow.

That guy doing the rounds on short form video (who ousted the CIAs abuse of torture) ironically might be the best thing that ever happened to the CIA's public image.

After dealing with web components for the last year, I just think they kind of suck as an API for applications. They’re better as custom element API less a component API

However, shadow DOM+Templates/slots+style isolation are cool & you don’t need to use web components to use them.

There's a Super Nintendo / Game Boy Advance quality to this, that I like, maybe I'll use it again at some point in the future.

I don't think i'll use this, but got an animated dithered effect for a box shadow using mask's and a simple grid in SVG

Nearly half (48 per cent) of people either strongly or tended to support increased residential density in their own neighbourhood, up from 46 per cent last year and 44 per cent in 2024. About 17 per cent of people were strongly opposed to the idea, while 18 per cent were ambivalent. Matt Levinson, the committee’s head of corporate affairs, said: “We’ve seen [support for increased density in people’s own suburbs] gradually moving up year on year, and the number of people who oppose it gradually declining. Two-thirds of the city now see it as OK in their own neighbourhood.

This is what winning looks like.

Another one.

This looks cool, but the idea of having to transpile each script kind of sounds like a PITA amber-lang.com

1300 homes next to Concord West station are up for consultation. Make a submission in favour by Monday: www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/major-projec...

As always, it's the wealthiest parts of the country that get the media coverage to push back on any supply of new housing.

graphic I made, but may never get to use.

Okay I added highlighting for the "Individually Rational Allocations" now

Max Profits sounds like an ace attorney villain name.

Another chart, now with light and dark mode. I feel like I need an egregious cascading text shadow from the title.

What made Mark Carney’s speech land for me was not just his willingness to kill the sacred cow of the rules-based order, but his admission that it had always been partly a fiction anyway.

Anyone still mouthing its talking points now sounds not just naïve, but deeply unserious.

I tried using a multiply blend mode in SVG and it’s kind of a similar effect to highlighters overlapping but I’d imagine the way ink adds to together is likely different to how light mixes together

Here are some more examples of the period style, these are from 2 different 1980s RBA annual reports

I have it ago, i prefer cyan grid lines over purple, not a fan of yellow text shadows

My scrappy sketch aside, the fact it could look like the right hand side (as you can see he has the same pen) makes me feel like there’s promise with using them archive a similar effect with practice

The pen used is a stabilo fineliner, I saw someone use it on X on the right and it reminded me of some of the graphs I saw

Here’s the original tweet from X x.com/adamfuhrer/s...

I’ve been trying to get a better idea how they did graphs in the 90s or at least what materials. There obviously used printing & occasionally art by hand

While the sketch on the left is rough, it does kind of capture the addictive effect of the ink on right, it’s more obvious opposites (reds/blues)
