JavaScript News

Next vs Remix

A solid long-read about both Frameworks and their approaches.

Astro and Multi-Page Navigation with Browser View Transitions

For me, it feels like a magic. App-style navigation in the browser - fantastic!

Multiselect library

Looks really nice. You can use it with Vue, React or stand-alone. Only 4kb

Angular Renaissance

“For Angular veterans, Nicoll recommended against a rip-and-replace approach for in-production applications.”

I only wonder how many times Angular veterans have already rip-and-replace approaches for the same Framework?

Mixed News

Photoshop is now on the web

It is not the article about the excitement of Photoshop being on the web but rather how they got it there and what is actually behind the UI.

Chrome memory usage

I noticed that Chrome tabs gave me fancy information about memory usage last week. Luckily, Addy already made an article about it too.

Somehow, I've survived over 15 years as a web developer without losing my interest in the craft. Quite the opposite, with so many great improvements in the Web standards, what was nearly impossible now is easy to make.

My career has been a wild ride through small agencies and big corporations, building everything from finance apps to health dashboards.

I'm that annoying person who needs to understand products beyond just slinging code. I ask questions like 'Why is this feature important?' and 'How will this improve the customer journey?' – you know, the kind of questions that make project managers reach for the pint aspirin. This curiosity has led me down the rabbit holes of design, accessibility, and SEO. Because apparently, making websites pretty, usable, and findable wasn't challenging enough on its own.

P.S. If this bio sounds too polished, blame my evil AI twin. I'm still working on teaching it sarcasm.
