CSS Tip If you want to hide an element that has no children, it's tempting to reach for :empty. However, :empty doesn't work how you'd expect if there's white space or text nodes inside the element. Instead, use this: .your-element:not(:has(:first-child)) { display: none; }

By far my favorite thing about bad kerning is that the Reddit dedicated to it is called r/keming

Now, imagine what would've happened if they *actually proposed a fork*. This is all so painful to watch.

Introducing Autoblue, my new WordPress plugin for Bluesky! 🦋 Autoblue will be available for download later this week, and allows you to automatically share your WordPress posts to Bluesky, and display likes and replies from Bluesky on your site. autoblue.cc (more in thread 🧵)

How I've added comments fetched from the Bluesky API to my blog.

Working on adding Bsky comments on my blog, fetching the discussion thread from the official API (it's text-only, so links may not work if truncated). It feels so refreshing being able to do it in a quick and effective way, leveraging Laravel caching helpers. Hope to have it online next week.

Posting from RayCast, just because 3rd party apps are allowed here. It's amazing the amount of things that we used to take for granted (like having working links and previews, or having scrolling working as intended), and that were taken from us on that other platform. It feels nice here so far!

This is exactly the kind of features that we want to ship with Advanced Columns (advancedcolumns.com): creating things that are not possible with the existing tools, trying to simplify otherwise complex tasks. #WordPress #gutenberg

It might be a niche feature, but I use this approach a lot in my designs, so we’ve implemented a golden grid builder inside the new Advanced Columns 1.4.0—because, why not? 🤓 #WordPress

Hello 🦋 #WordPress friends! 👋 Sharing some news about the upcoming 1.4 update for the Advanced Columns plugin! There are many new features, but the biggest one is likely full responsive Flexbox support in each individual column, along with responsive attributes for third-party blocks! 👀

Getting ready for the first day of #WordPress Rome Core Days! As an organizer AND a dev, I'm excited that we're about to have a two-days event that is focused on code, best practices, and generally share knowledge about how the platform actually works. Hope everyone will enjoy this!
