I miss this from Flow all the time. Typescript is such a big downgrade for this reason alone. And I hate it the most because the type system could support it easily, but JSX has shitty typedefs.

Lol

Here’s a proposal to make this easier:

open-ui.org/components/l...

Intrigued if it can help me work on @stylexjs.bsky.social while spending less time.

If you’d like to chat more about this or otherwise I’d be happy to.

DMs always open!

The TLDR is that setState in React is usually asynchronous. So you need some kind of hook to detect when React is done applying the changes.

The slightly longer issue is that with Suspense and Transitions, you sometimes want to wait for async operations.

Doing all this in userland is very tricky.

You *can* make ….

(Really wish bsky had editable posts!)

That’s the main thing I noticed too!

I think trying to advertise changing the handle to their domain as something desirable.

“Move from yourhandle.bsky.social to yourhandle.eurosky.social !!!”

I don’t know why someone would want to, but that seems to be what they’re selling.

One argument could be that custom domains are not free. But a subdomain is.

@chriscoyier.net I would have be happy to chat and explain why view transitions don’t work reliably without using the <ViewTransition> component.

You make things work slightly better by waiting for a layoutEffect (and resolving a promise) but even that has its limits.

Why should reach for grid when flex does the job?

I grid when I need it but default to flexbox when both could work.

BlueSky probably uses Flexbox intentionally so it works with React Native that only recently added support for grid layouts.

Yeah that might work.

<style id=“all-css”>
@import atomic from “/global.css”;
</style>

<template>
<style>
@import “#all-css”;
</style>
</template>

Do we even need @sheet for this if I just want all the same CSS? All we need is the ability to @import an ID.

I think that’s just how the video is.

If there was a way to import all css from root, maybe that would work.

Or if the ID could be used to importing where the id is on a link tag itself.

I don’t think @sheet helps with my gripes.

One issue is that bundlers like Vite will add a hash to the name of the css file and update the <link> tag in the HTML file but not in the various shadow doms which may even be rendered dynamically.

@sheet is cool for other use-cases, sure.

I wrote about what I think is wrong or missing with the web component APIs.

There’s probably many more nice-to-haves that could be added, but I wanted to focus on what feels like the most obvious issues.

Fair.

The web component APIs are some of the worst web APIs added within the last decade. Sharp edges. Surprising behaviour. You can tell them were rushed.

Maybe I’ll write an article with a list of changes I think could make them usable without significant downsides.

"who cares if it's slop it works code doesn't matter" isn't a good way to sell ai

im producing cleaner codebases than ever because of ai

now i can actually refactor everything when we find a better way of doing something

before shitty code just lingered forever

Still the greatest video ever made. Sorry. I don't make the rules...

“Agentic Web” is a BS term. It’s just agents using the web. It’s not some new kind of web.
