i'd love a css selector for individual characters, someone surely must have already thought of this, turns out many have https://adactio.medium.com/an-nth-letter-selector-in-css-6f957e5b18b0 #webdev #css #cssWg let's get this added!
And now, the post you've all been waiting for…
(probably not, but you get it anyway!)
The #CSS Framework Wars™ have come to an end. And we can thank…#Tailwind v4 for that!
Freely compose UI using native CSS variables & syntax, Tailwind design tokens in CSS (configured with CSS!), and Tailwind utility classes only where it makes sense. Hallelujah!
As historically one of Tailwind's biggest critics it is *weird* to sing its praises. 2025's biggest #WebDev surprise?

Just launched v1.0.0 of bgg-client, my Node package for providing easy and type-safe access to the BoardGameGeek API!
It hitting 1.0.0 isn't really signifying anything except the fact that it breaks everything from the previous version, cuz semantic versioning I guess.

- "oh it fails because the form data is wrong"
+ "good, I just have to check the data validation, where is that done?"
- "on the frontend web form, and on SOAP data schema, and on the backend service, and on the entity framework model definition, and on the SQL database constraints, and on some SQL triggers that check for data validation sometimes...."
+ "wh wh WHAT HOW WHY FUUUUUU"
In my side-project I send the <head> element within the first ~10ms, meaning the browser can start fetching more resources immediately (it also fits the first TCP packet).
Is this a common thing to do? If not, why not?
Mal ne Frage an freiberufliche (as in: nicht gewerbetreibende) Software-Devs: Wie haltet ihr's mit dem Hosting bzw. Betrieb der von euch erstellten Software?
Konkret hab ich hier ne Kundin, die mich auch gern für das Hosting der von mir gebauten Software beauftragen würde. Meine Sorge ist, dass das zu nah am Gewerblichen wäre. (Gewerbeschein hab ich nicht und will ich auch nicht.)
Hat da jemand konkret Erfahrung mit, in DE? Googlen kann ich selbst.
TIL: there is a #JavaScript equivalent to #CSS support queries: a static method on the CSS object!

Watching @ThePrimeTime's recent video (https://youtu.be/ciNXbR5wvhU?si=SKJ0IOh678yi2JxB&t=16m29s) and saw the comments around HTTP cache & resource sharing across origins.
As someone who's been on Chrome's web platform loading team, it's a good reminder that awareness and dissemination of knowledge is hard . Resources have long been isolated across sites due to cache partitioning (in Chrome since 2020, even longer in other browsers).

& nesting selector
Newly available (from Dec 2023)
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Nesting_selector
The CSS & nesting selector explicitly states the relationship between parent and child rules when using CSS nesting. It makes the nested child rule selectors relative to the parent element. Without the & nesting selector, the child rule selector selects child elements. The child rule selectors have the same specificity weight as if they were within :is().
Oh how much I wish there was a `pointer-events: only-hover` value in CSS.
I know it’s not as easy, but sometimes I need something to be hoverable but pass everything else to the element below.
