  • I (more than anyone, trust me) am delighted to announce that @piccalil.li uses a one time password (OTP) system now, replacing the magic links system we had in place before.

    Never again do I want to have to write "Safe Links" and "Outlook" in the same sentence.

    Now, before I bring up this next thing, assume I'm checking to make sure nobody is watching us, lowering my tone, maybe imploring you to "be cool about this:" Boolean() isn't the only game in town for manually coercing a value to its corresponding boolean value; in fact, it isn't even the most common one, in my experience. By using the not (!) operator twice before a value, the first ! will coerce that value to its implicit boolean value and flip it, then the second ! flips that to the boolean form of the original value:

  • one thing that's always put me off making a CSS library/framework over a methodology is I don't want to create problems for people with my way of doing things.

    i've seen enough variation in everything in consultancy work to know I could never actually be a help and not a hinderance with a lib

  • It’s really important to work HTML, CSS and JS first in the planning of this navigation course. Sure there’s sketching going on, but the most useful wireframes for us are going to be the real deal, in the browser.

    Several viewports in the Polypane browser, ranging from very small mobile-like up to a laptop-like one, being clipped by the end of the window. All show a wireframe of two navigation patterns, breaking down as the viewports shrink.&10;
