Some digging in Wallace's error logs and Sentry.

So many devs trying to analyze `localhost`.

I guess I'll need to add some custom error handling to tell them that it won't work...

Continue I did

A brand new macbook with one CSS sticker in the top left corner of the cover and dozens more of the same stickers lying on top of the same cover.

Do I continue... ?

@laurieontech.dev hey, I just noticed a lot of new entries in your RSS feed! 🥳
Unfortunately all entries only show a summary and the 'visit website/read more' links all go to example.com 🥹

You can cram so much information in typed arrays and array pointers instead of repeating arrays of objects. Not sure about the memory savings and real world perf implications yet, but a fun exercise to think about reducing memory allocations.

Today is a good day for another attempt to play with concepts of data oriented design.

Thinking of brightening up my home office with a custom LED sign, anyone got recommendations on where to order and do's and don'ts?

These look incredible!

Having a title has meant nothing for my career so far until last week. So it can open doors although I do not actually agree with the gatekeeping.

Bachelor of Information Sciences where the curriculum touched on frontend very lightly. Graduated with a thesis on CSS architecture and complexity with a 9.3/10 score, so they should know better by now 😎

Results were even noticeable on my M3 so that's good

Doing some quick performance wins on @projectwallace.com:

- wrap border radii in a 'show more' component that renders the first 15 items at first
- same for colors-per-property
- remove the double list of unique colors, just one is good enough
- because of ☝️ removed a ton of intersection observers

Quick, everyone, @codepen.io Radio is back! 🥳

Debugging an issue with prefers-contrast: more, custom properties and cascade layers and I don't know how anyone would do that without project wallace. Not even mad, I just don't know how you get shit done.

Whelp, that looks like a tea break well spent

I say we crack open his codebase and we'll find the sacrifices soon enough

Haven't had anyone complain or ask yet but saw a similar page recently because I spotted an unusual user agent in the logs and felt like this is a good thing to do.

Hey @keithamus.social, do you think that in the future csskit may be a good choice to power some/most of the tooling on @projectwallace.com? I think there is some overlap in goals. Curious for your thoughts 😄

Sentry issue graph of browsers not supporting Highlight API.

Can't wait for this chart to go to almost zero! I've been using it for a long time now on @projectwallace.com as progressive enhancement and *very* happy with it.

on its way to prod and i'm off to bed 😴

so. much. work.

Oh and please let me know if there are any features that would make you design systems work easier. Happy to lend a hand to make auditing or discovery faster.

New on the design tokens page is that the JSON output panel is now powered by a new standalone lib that converts CSS to design tokens github.com/projectwalla...

Writing another monthly Wallace roundup tonight. What's something you want to know?

Ah, so the design token spec had an update back in April and so my Design Tokens page has been incorrect for about two months and I need to figure out a way to support the new Color type 😐

My wife is watching Squid Games and it looks like a messed up, less fun version of Taskmaster.

With the spec in mind I'm tempted to pick those 5 as groups and try to group *all* the color functions and notations under that, keeping in mind that `color()` can set a specific color space output target.
