@lcas.devReposted by @ollie-williams.bsky.socialIt’s sad to see Deno being discontinued. However, I think it’s not all terrible. Deno pushed server side JS forward for everyone - Node copied many the standout features Deno had at launch in 2020, bringing them to the masses. Fetch, web sockets, web crypto, direct TypeScript execution, and more. 🫡

@foolip.orgReposted by @ollie-williams.bsky.socialJPEG XL shipped in Chrome 155 today, try it out!
Huge kudos to Luca and team for getting this done. Image codecs are cool in so many levels, and I'm super impressed by the people who make that magic happen.
@infrequently.orgReposted by @ollie-williams.bsky.socialThe deep issue isn't that CSS-in-JS was always shite, it's that the epistemic rot has settled in so deeply that teams don't know how to evaluate engineering choices on any basis but GH stars and twitter clout.
Or as @baldurbjarnason.com quipped, programming as pop culture.

@jovidecroock.comReposted by @ollie-williams.bsky.socialPreact 11 is out 🎉 We’ve been hard at work at making our diffing use modern features like moveBefore , leveraging ESM for tree-shaking Preact Compat and ensuring you have a great experience with resumed hydration.
@patrickbrosset.comReposted by @ollie-williams.bsky.socialFancy tooltips that use popover and anchor positioning are great. But sometimes all you need is a trustworthy title HTML attribute for a text-only tooltip. 😭 Only problem is: it can't be styled! Do you want these tooltips to be stylable? Maybe with a ::tooltip pseudo. Let me know your use cases!

@ruyadorno.comReposted by @ollie-williams.bsky.social⚡️ the vlt.io registry now has public packages! we're ready to onboard our open-source friends! ❤️
@ollie-williams.bsky.socialI think my preference would be progressive rendering for AVIF because it avoids making two requests (and the file size of AVIF is usually pretty small anyway). jakearchibald.com/2025/present...
@patrickbrosset.comReposted by @ollie-williams.bsky.socialOne more call for feedback! Yeah, I know, I often ask for feedback but, think about it, the more you share, the better the feature. 💡Support low-quality image placeholders on the web! ➡️<img previewsrc="preview.avif" src="photo.avif"> ❓Would you use this?

@ollie-williams.bsky.socialYea Safari devtools is unusably bad.
@ollie-williams.bsky.socialI switch between Safari, Chrome and Firefox multiple times a day but the redesign of Firefox has made it my favourite browser. Like Chrome it has Split View and a vertical tabs option.
@ollie-williams.bsky.socialI raised multiple proposals for Interop 2027.
