Today I launched a new side project. 🥳 It’s just a simple website with useful links for people with ADHD, but I hope it will help some of you.

Last night I canceled our Spotify subscription and moved everything to Tidal using Soundiiz. I like the user interface and the sound quality is even better. Thanks a lot to @ahumanfuture.co for the recommendation.

I can confirm. One of our two cats runs like that before I even start the vacuum cleaner. 😄

I redesigned/rebuilt my personal site a few weeks ago and I still like it.

⚓️ New Article: The overflow: hidden property and sticky headers

The overflow: hidden property and sticky headers

While working on Kelp, my UI library for people who love HTML, I learned something new-to-me: Setting overflow: hidden prevents the position: sticky property from working. It doesn’t even matter if the hidden overflow is in the scroll direction. Setting overflow-x: hidden to prevent horizontal scroll prevents sticky headers from sticky with vertical scrolling. I also learned that overflow: clip solves this very problem! The overflow: clip property produces the same visual effect as overflow: hidden.

Great article! I stumbled upon the same problem a few months ago, and always wanted to write a blog post about it. I guess that’s one less blog post I have to write. 😄

Thanks a lot for the recommendation! Sounds like a really good alternative to Spotify.

Can you recommend good alternatives to Spotify? Especially regarding metal bands? I was thinking about switching to Apple Music.

That’s a cool project! I’m definitely going to send you pictures of my two cats in the next few days.

It sucks that deprecated tags (e.g. blink, marquee, frame) I grew up with aren’t allowed. 😄

Absolutely. Yes, the end with his dad is really beautiful.
And my 8-year-old son likes the song too, although it’s not as hard as many other Lorna Shore songs.

Thorsten Beeck @thorstenbeeck.com · 28d

What a great song. But also very melancholic.

That quiz was fun. My result seems about right. 😄

YOUR SCORE: 20
You're experienced, and likely a passionate defender of the open web and all that makes the web weird. This doesn't come without a cost, and you're probably tired AF.

System of a Down but for web developers:

My code is much bigger than yours
My code makes my website so slow
With a feeling so impure
It’s got you not coming back for more

Vielen Dank für das sehr ausführliche Testergebnis! Wir haben ca. 500 m² Rasenfläche. Ich denke mal, dass wir da eine Nummer größer brauchen. 😅 Auf jeden Fall wird es kein Benzinrasenmäher oder Rasenmähroboter werden.

Thorsten Beeck @thorstenbeeck.com · Sep 6

Wir haben vor kurzem neuen Rasen gesät und können bald das erste Mal mähen. Ein Rasenmäher fehlt allerdings noch. Ich bin dementsprechend auf dein Testergebnis gespannt. 🙂

Oh yeah it’s that time of the year again. 🥳 I don’t expect much though. A final score like 34:17 for the Eagles.

ADHD As Hell sounds similar as ADHD As F***, what doesn’t mean that I don’t like it. 😉 ADHD Energy sounds positive but a little bit too generic. ADHD No Chill sounds cool but might have a negative meaning for other people. Nonetheless I think it’s the most clever one/the one I relate to the most. 🙂
