How do you do local storage in React in 2025?
All of the examples I've found so far either break the rules of React (e.g. impure state initializers) or use `useSyncExternalStore` which has poor performance and doesn't interop well with transitions.

The GitHub PR “N hidden items, Load more…” UI is one of the *most* annoying things about its interface—and that says something! When I am working with a large, long-running PR (and yes, there are valid reasons for those!) I’d like to just be able to read the whole dang thing, please and thank you!

Out-of-order HTML patching, another proposal from TPAC, lets HTML be presented non-linearly, and a single file can update multiple parts of the page.
Would this feature be useful to you?

My favorite thing about infinite scroll is when your connection hiccups and nothing else will load so you have to reload the entire page and scroll a dozen times just to get to where you were so you can start the fuck over and hope your connection doesn’t hiccup again.

VS Code pro-tip: check the `@id:chat.disableAIFeatures` setting.
(It’s more getting in the way than helping me, so better to just get rid of it all together)

#PerfNow request throttling is behind a flag in Canary right now, you can enable it in chrome://flags. But please be aware it's not fully feature complete yet and still being worked on! However it is coming to Chrome stable in the future 🙂

I am looking for a full-time job.
Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.
If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

There’s a new type of CSS scroll-state query coming: “scrolled”.
This one remembers the last direction you scrolled into, which you can use to build “hidey bars”: when scrolling down (or having scrolled down), the hidey bar hides itself. When then scrolling back up, the hidey bar reveals itself.

Yeah everyone is hearing about AI in the workplace right now, and everyone has coworkers or bosses that have fallen for the hype of AI
Take a moment to realize how little it’s actually changed the work that needs to be done. How things are progressing largely at the same pace they always have

Apparently you are not a real CSS dev if you don’t maintain your own CSS reset. Challenge accepted! Not a typical reset, but for sure a bunch of opinions.

⚛️ReactConf once again mentioned concurrent stores. What if I tell you, we have concurrent external stores today? (kinda)
My latest blog post explains:
👉 How to to pair `useSyncExternalStore` with `useDeferredValue` (and `useMemo`)
⚡ Why this can improve UX & INP during hydration

Can anyone explain this behaviour with `useEffectEvent`? I'm seeing stale closures which I thought should never happen?

@en-js.bsky.social 👋 Do you know what changed between babel-plugin-react-compiler 19.1.0-rc.3 and 1.0.0? I can't find a changelog anywhere… I'm asking because our bundle size has increased again and I'd like to understand why (presumably better memoization).

I'm trying to combine React Actions + useOptimistic + React Query but I'm seeing some odd behaviour. What's going on here?
I suspect it's because React Query uses useSyncExternalStore. Does that mean it's incompatible with Actions?
