There’s plenty of overlap (coincidental, I promise!), but their approach and conclusions are quite distinct (but complementary, IMO)

Thanks so much, Álvaro!
Tyler and his team are super-creative and build amazing experiences.
Oh, I also want to say that I can't get enough of @tylersticka.com's illustration for this article. It does such a great job of capturing how I often feel about web performance. The WTF look on the character's face as it looks at JS is true to life. cloudfour.com/thinks/weigh...
Thanks so much, Sara! That means a lot coming from you
I can't speak highly enough of Tyler & the Cloudfour team. While I've never worked with them on a project (I secretly wish I did when I was still freelancing), I have learned from & enjoyed all the work and knowledge they have shared over the years.
Highly recommend hiring them for your projects👇🏻
Cloud Four is THE BEST team of web professionals I’ve ever worked with!
The various GLP-1 medications are amazing. It has made a huge difference in my life. We need something like it for the web.

Andy, this means so much, thank you.
Those are big shoes to fill, Dave! Thank you so much, that means a lot.
Thank you for boosting, Pablo!
Because you can't hire Paravel anymore, I would heartily recommend hiring @cloudfour.com.
I've long been jealous of CloudFour's ability to boil the ocean of complexity into understandable terms. Good communicators, great people, and a deep understanding of how to make great apps and websites.
I posted we were quiet last year and everyone was amazing. Let's do the same for the fine folks at Cloudfour.
A great agency, full of lovely, talented people. You will be in good hands!

Let's talk about Global Privacy Control (GPC) and the ways cookie banners seem to be trying to trick people into accepting cookies even though they've already opted out.
Is this just poor UX or is it malicious compliance?

Fanart by me (dated March 29, 2018) of The Maxx, crouching and looking grumpy
Really sad to hear one of my favorite cartoonists passed away. The Maxx is an all-time fave. RIP #SamKieth graphicpolicy.com/2026/03/21/s...
Over the last few months, we've had multiple clients ask us for help with the technical bits of CCPA and GPDR compliance. In this new series, I share a bit of what we've learned in the process. cloudfour.com/thinks/cooki...
Thanks again, Christian!

Here at @cloudfour.com, we do a lot of design and prototyping in the browser via @11ty.dev (or should I say #BuildAwesome??)
At the next free, virtual #Eleventy Meetup (March 12, 9am PDT), I’ll be sharing some of my favorite little helpers for quick and easy placeholder content: 11tymeetup.dev
