If your i18n system fallbacks to a baseLocale, do you expect that it formats date's in that baseLocale or in the current locale?

E.g. current locale German:

Fallback to English with German date:
"Peter's birthday is on 29. März 1978"

or with English date:
"Peter's birthday is on Mar 29, 1978"

Just switch to Code-nobody's gonna find and like your repository here because they are too lazy to signup-berg 🙈.
Biggest insult today: Motherfucking Github rate limited me browsing issues of a software product while being logged out. Git-we steal all your open source code to train our slop machine that management will use to make your life at work worse-hub.

The open source donation paradox:

Most people are not willing to pay a small amount to make something freely available for everyone. They would rather pay more to keep it for themselves.

UX overhaul in the next version: The preset selection will be an overlay instead of a separate tab, which is gonna allow you to quickly compare different presets.

Everyone: Shows Github commit log with daily commits for the entire year

Me: Shows bucket full of nasal secretion from all daily phantosmia seizures 😂

Further thinking about accordion vs overlay UX, it seems as if both approaches kinda target two very different situations 🤔

Sliding:
Slow, methodic, thinking, focused users

Overlay:
Quick, creative, designing users and demonstrations
Which one do you prefer, first (old) or second (new)?

I experimented with rendering the color pickers in an overlay, instead of sliding them down :).

Nitropage likely will never have an MCP, because the target group are users and artists who actually like to create websites, who do not want to hand over their craft to a braindead KI.

Testing my little visual page builder Nitropage.org with SolidStart#main, @nitro.build v3 and h3 v2.

I just switched the Nitro preset to bun and everything still works 🤯😮!

(It's my first time running Nitropage via bun 😋)

Okay how about FOEC: frame of early-styled content.

FOUC and FOEC, I kinda like this.
Everybody in the CSS world probably knows about frames of unstyled content aka FOUC.

But how do you call it, when content is styled too early? Frames of too-early styled content? FOTESC?
