Typical that this week where I had tons of things planned, my body said absolutely not. 🤕

Yeah, it sure is. I've never gotten it to work in any of dozen of so Astro projects I have. I always just put it in public to avoid the headache. Definitely going to try watching next week.

Anyone have a good solution to update the build image for multiple Netlify sites or make them get latest by default?

Donnie D'Amato @donnie.damato.design · 9d

One of my favorite functions in modern CSS for sure.

As an aside, anchor positioning can't come soon enough. I'd love to switch anchors at a breakpoint. Right now the flyout has a hard coded offset in mobile. 😞
