Firefox DevTools now hide unused CSS properties so that debugging sites with lots of design tokens and custom properties becomes a bit easier!

I'm so tired of the "usual" open source drama happening over and over again.
There's a simple rule: if something's free (code, content, whatever...), no one can make demands. It's as simple as that.
It's wild to me that we as a community still haven't figured that one out. :/

I really need to update these social images... π«£
A really interesting read, especially if you think the light-dark() function is a simple replacement for the prefers-color-scheme media query.
https://www.stefanjudis.com/today-i-learned/light-dark-isnt-the-same-as-prefers-color-scheme/
https://www.stefanjudis.com/today-i-learned/light-dark-isnt-the-same-as-prefers-color-scheme/
light-dark() isn't always the same as prefers-color-scheme
`light-dark()` and `prefers-color-scheme` treat the defined `color-scheme` values differently.

Hah! Yeah I have to redo the transactional emails. :D Thanks for the nudge.
Yeah, I'm up for spending money because I'd rather write my newsletter than spending hours on emails, subscriber management, spam filtering, etc... π€·
But let me know if you find something great!

Did I write somewhere on the site that I use Buttondown? π
It's no secret but I'm surprised that you bring it up.
I assume you're the "I build stuff myself" type? Because the providers I researched years ago all cost more or less the same.
Do you have a secret provider tip? π«£

Welcome! π And thanks for letting me know!
To add some more info. I totally get your reaction (sorry again), but end of last year, I kid you not, I've seen countless spam sign ups that, wait for it, even confirmed the double opt-in via email. We're all cooked. π

TIL that modern Node not only supports `--env-file` / `--env-file-if-exists` but also a new method to programmatically load .env files.
It's been marked stable since Node v24 (current LTS), and I'm now on the journey of removing all the `dotenv` dependencies. π
