I bought this this morning and I’m over half way through it. Probably the best $25 I’ve spent in years. I use web components for my blog posts and have known for a while that there are big gaps in my knowledge, and this has filled a whole bunch of them.
Online on a weekend? You can grab access to my web components course for $25 today and tomorrow. Big ol’ discount. Use the code OCT25-26.
(And as usual, if you need further accommodation, just use the email form and we’ll work it out.)

Recommend wholeheartedly! I got this course at a previous generous discount offer to ease into understanding web components and it is brilliant! If you do not have this yet -> get it now!

I got a mail somewhere this week from Affinity stating 'Creative Freedom is Coming'. Bracing myself for some enshittification already.
Remember there are FOSS alternatives (Inkscape, Gimp, Krita and others) or other single purchase apps (VectorStyler, ClipStudio, ProCreate) that are AI free.

Honestly one of the last things @penpot.app needed to make it better than (not just a viable alternative to) Figma. Do per-side borders now pls thx.
Variants have arrived in Penpot! ✨
Optimize your design systems by adding flexibility to your sets of components.
No more excuses to make the switch to Penpot.

I’ll be there! Anyone else wanna join us?
Last week I did a quick live session in my Discord community, and it worked well enough that I've decided to do monthly workshops there.
The first one will be next Friday, with a CSS Grid crash course of sorts.
