shipped a pile of cssdaily.dev updates 🎉 the one I keep thinking about: scoring now blends structural correctness with pixel diff so the right solutions actually win. pure pixel diff rewarded "looks close" over "got it right" — felt wrong for a CSS practice tool. 🧵👇

OSRS Leagues is next month and the relic teasers are already rolling in! 🎉 I’ve added everything revealed so far to my relic picker — and the pacts page goes live as soon as they’re announced. 🔗 relics.runetools.lol/osrs/6/

Taking on a community leadership role with @aicollectivehr.bsky.social. Volunteer work I'm passionate about — helping connect builders in the 757 with AI resources and each other. (Still actively looking for my next senior frontend/fullstack role btw — if you know someone, I'm all ears.)

Some big cssdaily.dev updates! - Added HTML/CSS side-by-side column toggle - Restructured generation prompts to address reported height issues - Launched cssdaily.dev/tailwind/ @mikenikles.com hope the team loves it! - Added cssdaily.dev/about/

I am aware that today's cssdaily challenge rendered outside the bounds. I'll be tweaking the prompt today to try to sort that out while also implementing some of the suggestions I've received! Thanks everyone who's tried it out so far!

Thank you for so quickly trying out cssdaily.dev @cassidoo.co !!! youtu.be/3Uct3cQ77Xo

Watched March MadCSS and thought "what if we could do this every day?" So I built it. In a day. cssdaily.dev — a daily CSS challenge. Write CSS to match a target, get pixel-diffed in real-time. New challenge every morning. Scoring adapted from @wesbos.com and @tolin.ski's open-source SynHax.

In the Web Dev Challenge season 2 finale, the dev teams raced to build charming apps intended to connect people. Featuring @zeu.dev, @crutchcorn.dev, @tekgadgt.dev, Austin, @codingshaman.bsky.social, and Derek. Watch the full episode now: codetv.dev/series/web-d...
