For organising Fronteers Darkmode we had a tiny budget. In fact no budget at all for AV. But thanks to an ATEM Mini Pro and a very long USB-C cable we managed to make it look like a high-budget conference instead of a meetup.

At #fronteers #DarkMode, @utilitybend.com proposed the HTML Element.

It unlocks the multi-handle range slider, a pattern you might have already seen when picking a price-range.

Brecht @utilitybend.com talking about built-in component gems hidden in plain sight in all modern browsers, like popovers.

So many great browser APIs that are waiting to be used by frontend devs.

I'm in Dordrecht (NL) to MC at @fronteers.bsky.social's "Dark Mode" conference later today and tonight.

Even though it's a new location, this feels like coming home, as I've been attending this conference since 2010 (and also spoke at the 2022 edition).

Looking forward to a beautiful evening at @fronteers.bsky.social dark mode. First gotta get some work done tho. Maybe update those slides a bit. They are really spoiling us.

My laptop, next to it there is a card for a hotel room door with Fronteers dark mode on it and text: do not disturb I'm working on my slides

I'm in Dordrecht for @fronteers.bsky.social Dark Mode conf tomorrow, and they left a little gift pack of speaker goodies in my hotel room including this, and I think it's absolutely delightful. ❤️

It's one of those things you hang on your hotel room door but instead of saying DO NOT DISTURB it says DON'T WORRY. I AM NOT TALKING TO MYSELF. I AM REHEARSING MY TALK.
