I still think this is a very cool demo. codepen.io/editor/chris... random()-ly positioned "stars" split into three groups via :nth-child() fanciness. Each group moves a different amount by just a single @keyframes mapped to a scroll-driven animation timeline. Not hard!

I made an app! What Can't I Press helps you discover what keyboard shortcuts are already claimed by running apps, with a focus on screen readers. This helps prevent you from overriding something someone might rely on to get what they want or need. #a11y github.com/ericwbailey/...

Can anyone recommend a simple Trello-style Kanban app? Basically I want the 2016 version of Trello, something light and simple and suitable for solo projects rather than large teams.
The ”State of Devs 2026” survey is currently open! It's run by the same folks who do the other “State of…” surveys, but this one is about us rather than the technology. Lots of interesting questions around AI, career trajectory, our goals, etc. Check it out:

Hi! I'm working on a new HTML feature: filterable select There are two proposed API shapes so far: 1. Nesting <input> in <select> 2. Sibling <input> for listbox <select> w/id ref Option 1 is more ergonomic, but would break selects in older browsers Thoughts? (Both currently in Canary w/flag)
I made a website that lets you cut out old magazines from the internet archive (or any PDFs you own) and make collage art out of them: ✂️ clipart.studio
AI sharing/remixing your Insta content*. 2 of 3 are on by default. F meta and their ugly desperation to be something other than a failing social network. * includes original music and other sound (like your own voice) so musicians and artist should change the settings asap

🔥 The latest Web Dev Challenge episode just dropped, and it's animation-themed! The goal is to build a slick landing page with GSAP. Just watched it and the teams built some pretty incredible stuff in one day. 😮
Jason Lengstorf@jason.energy · 4w agothese folks just letting it rip with simple, creative ideas is refilling my batteries in a way that feels (sadly) pretty rare these days — how do we put more of this into the world? (I am, of course, very ready to help if your company is into this)

Six years ago I built my first 3D CSS game, inspired by Street Rod (1991) and isometric rendering. Now I’m six ports deep, and it still feels like I’m just getting started 🤘 Check out lowpoly.gg
Man, what an absolute breath of fresh air to read about a cool new CSS feature, written by an authentic human who's clearly genuinely excited about this stuff. ❤️

Hi, friends. The last 6 years have been a blast, but I just don't like being on The Internet anymore. I'm leaving DevRel, and I wrote a little bit about why. Look after yourselves, and each other. Love, Salma
Goodbye, forever, probably.
I’m leaving developer relations and developer education. Rather than disappear completely unannounced, I wanted to tell you why.
