Spontaneous travel plans! I’m coming to 🇬🇪 Tbilisi on the weekend of November 19–20 to see some of my dear friends and enjoy the city, of course 🤩
While I’m thinking about moving bite-sized posts to my standalone blog, it won’t harm to ♻️ cross-post just to be safe. And for your convenience too 😎

You can still read me here, but also on:

I’m pretty sure this new Zoom menubar icon got a “can you make the logo bigger?” story behind it.
New article! Recently, I came up with a solution, finally making CSS and JS first-class citizens in Eleventy for me. If you’ve ever struggled with the CSS and JS post-processing, this might be a good option for you!

Does OKLCH make it easier to read and understand colors? In theory, yes. In practice, I don’t know. Probably not. But don’t mind me! It took me some time to accept the logical properties in my heart. I might be just slow.

I got into my first and only “group buy” with this GMK Monokai Material keycaps set. Imagine my excitement when I finally got it this morning 😍 Two years later!

Now I can Rebase and Merge with a single key!

And how’s your weekend going? 🤓

With all that news about Getir acquiring Gorillas, there might be a chance that I’ll be looking for a job soon 😬

This time I’m looking mostly for DevRel, but some UI/a11y front-end development might work as well.

There’s a new built-in app called Freeform in macOS Ventura 13.1. A competitor for Miro and FigJam, I guess. SVG is supported, but weirdly: the picture gets wrapped in a box.
I have no idea what is going on in this photo, but it’s called 4k_transcoding.jpeg, and I found it in marketing materials for a NAS 😳

New article! When Sacha Greif challenged his Twitter followers to code a fancy highlighter effect using only CSS… Guess what? I took the bait and started coding!

There’s a good chance to meet the Chrome Team in Berlin on January 23rd: Project Fugu and PWA, CSS/UI, security, privacy, payments, DevTools, browser automation, and performance. See you there! 😎

I rewatched this 20 seconds scene from The Staircase multiple times. So simple, but so tense! It’s just beautifully shot and edited. And the whole series is good, too.

(Alt: One group of people is standing in the elevator, the other just outside. They look at each other in a tense silence while camera picks faces from each group. And then the door closes, but it feels like it closes multiple times, each time with a new face).

When life goes off the rails, I rewatch The Newsroom. It’s the 4th time already. It’s from the good old 2012 and kind, naive, idealistic, and it makes me smile.

I can finally start using 🐘 Mastodon the way I’ve been using Twitter via Tweetbot for many years: with timeline sync, mute filters, and overall convenience. The Ivory client by Tapbots for iOS is now available for everyone!

https://tapbots.com/ivory/

I’ve tried many native or web clients for Mastodon, but they just didn’t work for me the way I wanted. See the full Ivory review on MacStories and give it a try! It’s worth every cent of the 18 €/​year subnoscription.
