It's so awful how that multiplies when you have a cool idea for your personal site and then you have to make people actually think you're a professional 😭

Just hire me so I can do ner things with my nerd friends! This website should be full of bad puns and ADHD-driven rants about weird shit!

Oct 14 Firefox 144 will ship JS-powered view transitions with `startViewTransition`. 🎉

Of course, this is only the first step because we're all waiting for cross-document view transitions, too, but I'm still very happy about view transitions being on their way to work everywhere.

Compat table showing that Firefox 144 will support `startViewTransition`.

„AfD legt zu, Grüne verlieren"

Heißt es in den Medien. Die Journalisten fragen Grüne, ob sie jetzt auch mehr Abschiebungen fordern werden.

Aber auch richtig ist:

„AfD verliert im Vergleich zur BTW, Grüne zweitbestes Ergebnis in NRW“

Framing in den Medien macht den Rechtsruck.

Making the first fun web thing in ages and of course it has to include shaders, async issues, SVG hacks, DOM-to-image rendering and Git LFS just for the extra spice.

My "2 days in n out" estimate might have been a little too optimistic.

A friend once told me his wife called his inability to choose which of his passions to follow in his free time "hobby anxiety" and it since felt like a diagnosis once I get hit by the weekend.

There is too much cool stuff in existence I want to tinker with.
