The Git Commands I Run Before Reading Any Code Five git commands that tell you where a codebase hurts before you open a single file. Churn hotspots, bus factor, bug clusters, and crisis patterns.

If you're working in a historic and large codebase, these commands might give some interesting insights.

Love to see corrupt authoritarians voted out.

Amazing post. I hope web devs understand this as downstream of antitrust pressure on Apple re: iOS & other browsers.

Update: We ended up deploying a similar solution as to the one outlined in the post to geizhals.at (grooovinger.com/notes/2026-0...). Supports dark mode as well.
What required a bit more tinkering was the Compare-Widget that can sit flush to the bottom of the viewport, but the concept is the same.

Name-Only Containers: The Scoping We Needed If we give a `container-name` to the root of all our unique components, we can scope styles to them with a simple @container query.

ok hear me out.

If we put a unique `container-name` on the root of all of our components... that's... perfect scoping, via:

@container unique-name {
button {}
.whatever {}
}

That's platform-level CSS modules. That's the scoping we need! frontendmasters.com/blog/name-on...

It's impossible to bomb Iran if you have visited it. If you experienced its profound beauty, its immensely hospitable people, its utter cultural richness.
Or, if you're a somewhat decent human being.

The Change — A recent change to CSS fixes this issue: position: sticky can now track the nearest scrolling container per axis.

A nine-year-old CSS spec issue has been resolved! 🎉

`position: sticky` now tracks the nearest scrolling container per axis. Want to stick an element to a scroll container AND the document? Soon possible.

Chromium only for now, but great to see this land!

🎉 We're excited to finally announce TinyBase v8.1 - the one with native Svelte 5 support.

We've got Svelte demos, guides, and a getting-started tool. Links below!

This was fun and we want to give a huge shout out to the @svelte.dev community for being so helpful and supportive!

Companies are gambling at this point. If you can, please speak up inside your company so they up their open source strategy and commit (more) funds to make our shared commons sustainable. We're going to lose it all. Funding dynamics in OSS need to change. Fast.

More Projects Please We’re actively seeking new UX design, UI design or hybrid creative/development challenges to solve.

Over the past 19 years, my team @cloudfour.com have shared over 600 articles and resources with the #WebDesign community, absolutely free.

But now, our design practice is in danger without your help. Please read and share: cloudfour.com/thinks/more-...

#OpenToWork #UXDesign #UIDesign

We could use your help. If you’ve ever wanted to work with us, now would be an excellent time!

Please spread the word. Thank you!

It is incredible to me that stuff like this is possible now with a few lines of CSS only.
