I’M TIRED OF APPS AND WEBSITES WITH TINY TEXT AND TINY BUTTONS PLEASE STOP THAT NONSENSE
New blog post: “Groundbreaking Upgrade to SVG Is Approaching: Linked Parameters Are Almost Here”. https://blog.kizu.dev/link-parameters-soon/ “This feature will change everything” might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it, surely, will change a lot, both in #CSS and #SVG. In this post, I’ll […]

We built Typographer because finding the right font shouldn’t mean hunting down trials across dozens of foundry sites. A year after launch, we’re making it even more accessible: 38+ independent foundries in one place, now free to join.
Typographer is now free to use. Find fonts and prototype with ease. License when you’re ready. Start exploring → typographer.com Available for macOS; Windows coming soon.
This was such a fun project to work on! So excited to lower the barrier of entry to broaden everyone’s font horizons 🙌 If you give it a whirl and find a cool typeface that’s new to you, please share! I’ve been here since July but I’m constantly “discovering” gems in the catalog.

Went to Seattle for a Seahawks game and the new Rainier special edition jubilee cans just landed! We designed them at Parliament with illustrator Brett Parson @blitzcadet.bsky.social
so that's what I've been seeing in my referrer lists.
If you've seen analytics hits to your website from aocr.org, you might want to tune some settings. tin.computer/blog/aocr-or... My blog received nearly 10x hits in the past week compared to a known referrer.
The original parts of HTML, CSS and JS from the 90s still all work, even though we probably could benefit from undoing some of the bad parts. WebGL too (based on a 2007 standard). The only notable broken part is Flash. Never officially part of the platform, but it was load-bearing regardless.
Hearing Apple devs complain about migrating to new APIs and gamedevs complain about engine upgrades makes me really glad the web platform has had almost no breaking changes… ever.
Crazy to be living in a timeline where people think copyright infringement and art theft is suddenly okay simply because it’s faster and easier to do it now. We are going through the largest scale theft of IP in all of human history. Enforcement of basic IP principles would destroy the AI economy.
One thing that keeps me productive is that I really like the people I work with. Even when some C-suite level nonsense goes on, we still do good work together and try to deliver the best quality possible. There are many good people working on technology that aren’t in your newsfeeds.
The new MinnMax Interview is with David Sears, the creative director for South of Midnight, Rainbow 6 Patriots, SOCOM on PS2, and a whole lot more. We hope you enjoy a wide-ranging interview with 35 years of lessons from the game industry, all timestamped for your convenience! youtu.be/_mHAV-7OWjE

More alt text doesn’t automatically make a better description. Adrian Roselli explored what happens when an image’s alt contains more bacon than the pan can handle. adrianroselli.com/2024/04/long...

Great examples of the new customizable HTML select by Ahmad Alfy. alfy.blog/2026/10/27/a... #css #html
A select should tell you something
Customizable select isn’t just a prettier dropdown. Five before/after demos show how options can carry what people need to decide.

I’m loving Well Dweller! A metroidvania with just the right amount of challenge for me make progress each night. Boss battles take me no more than a handful of tries and they’re fun to play. Like Silksong without a lot of the frustrations such as long boss runs. youtu.be/utNkX47o6GM?...

Helpful info on trans micro aggressions to avoid. Just because you don’t *intend* harm doesn’t mean you aren’t causing it! A little extra awareness goes a long way.
hey cis friends, i made a handy guide for you
CSSWG just resolved to work on solving the shrink-to-fit feature! https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/14551#issuecomment-6525809870 This is one of the long-standing problems that did not have any non-js solution. Although, this January I published a very hacky technique for solving it […]
