I love reading and learning about new browser features—h/t @MicheBarks for css-irl.info/exciting-times-for-browsers-and-css/—and I was recently inspired to build something to track features important to me that was easy to use, understand, and maintain. No more fanfare, here it is: chrisburnell.com/feature-watch/Permalink On twitter.com

📦 Put together a plugin for @eleven_ty that combines 11ty.dev/docs/plugins/cache/ and Webmention.io and makes it (what I hope is) far less complicated to add cached Webmentions to your Eleventy website. chrisburnell.com/eleventy-cache-webmentionsPermalink On twitter.com

📦 Packaged up a bit of SCSS I’ve been happily using into a thing called Bowhead (it’s a whale, but I totally swear the filesize is tiny) and I’d love your feedback! chrisburnell.com/bowhead/Permalink On twitter.com

I must be in a bad mood this morning because @_iamarek told me, “you look like someone was using tabs” (instead of spaces) and I can't disagreePermalink On twitter.com

🥖 Made some bomb-ass warm and fluffy breadsticks last night. They were far more amazing than my terrible photo of them, honest. 🗒 Recipe here: chrisburnell.com/recipe/breaksticksPermalink On twitter.com

Excited for @halfstackconf today! First conference with @dletorey where neither of us are organising too.Permalink On twitter.com

Interesting. Everyone who insists I should be more involved and interested in politics seems to have a very specific context they want me to get involved in. Almost like they have an agenda and what I think doesn't actually matter to them, so long as I'm in their sphere. 🙉Permalink On twitter.com

I came up with a wonky little technique for throwing up a quick “dark” theme on my website using CSS filters and wrote a bit about it: chrisburnell.com/article/the-flip-flop-techniquePermalink On twitter.com

Shout-out to @codefundio (codefund.io) for their fantastic service and above-and-beyond team. I cannot state strongly enough how kind and understanding they are—they get the highest possible recommendation from me!Permalink On twitter.com

I still fail to see what benefits arise from shortened variable names. Why is "currPag" preferable to "currentPage", "btn" preferable to "button"? Without context, I'm guessing what the author intended, and this only makes verbal discussions about it all the more difficult.Permalink On twitter.com

A handful of my superpowers: * I always sit on the second sock when I sit down to put on the first. * I always check the time at 12:34. But what happens if my first superpower ever fails? Does my day shift enough to make me check at 12:33? I'm terrified to find out…Permalink On twitter.com

Late night coding means I’ve managed to create a clear division between my website’s various post types. And alongside that, I’m now using NewBase60 for my shortened URLs, which happens for each of my posts automatically. 😌 (repc.co/t4yV1)Permalink On twitter.com

I’m clearly cruising on a Chrono Trigger vibe because, again, I need to share some music by some unquestionably-talented musicians, @reubengingrich (reubengingrich.com/). But how can you not love “Secret of the Forest?” youtube.com/watch?v=alW3hvc3ViYPermalink On twitter.com

Switched my main browser from Chrome to Firefox this week. Can’t say I miss anything in particular. Only gripe so far is having to change my muscle memory for keyboard shortcuts, which I’m sure will be a quick transition.Permalink On twitter.com

At long last, I’ve managed to add the ability to edit my existing notes through my Micropub endpoint, and given my track record of totally making no mistakes, this is a good thing. #indiewebPermalink On twitter.com

I’ve sat down with three developers this week to help them diagnose some errors, but as soon as I sat down the errors mysteriously vanished. Anyway, hit me up if you want a quote for me to come sit next to you. Cause of my, y’know, expertise.Permalink On twitter.com
