As the VC-funded web continues to ensloppify, it’s important to remember that we don’t need to play their games. Despite billion dollar efforts the web remains decentralised. We can hyperlink right past the wannabe gatekeepers. Like this hyperlink to the Animal Photo Reference Repository. […]| dbushell.com (blog)
Did I mention GitHub is dead to me? I’m moving my code to a self-hosted Forgejo instance at git.dbushell.com. Today I added Actions. Forgejo Actions are a thing like GitHub Actions for “continuous integration”. Love a bit of CI! Forgejo Actions don’t work out of the box. […]| dbushell.com (blog)

Welcome to RSS Club! The first rule of RSS Club is: you tell everyone about RSS Club. RSS is the best way to follow weblogs. I’ve used NetNewsWire for years and I’m now building Croissant RSS to control my own reading experience. Croissant will be available in September as kind of a “beta” release. […]| dbushell.com (blog)
In my Anatomy of a Web Component I stopped short of shadow DOM and styles. In this post I’ll share how I’ve tackled that problem with adopted stylesheets. You don’t need a “styled components” framework or hundreds of utility classes. CSS has everything you need! […]| dbushell.com (blog)
Custom elements are the backbone of a “web component” if that’s your preferred term. Web components typically includes the additional baggage of being “composable UI” as found in JavaScript frameworks (whatever that means). In this post I’ll dissect the basics of a custom element (or web component) […]| dbushell.com (blog)

The one where I make the web browser read it for me| dbushell.com
Last week I documented Croissant development in a lengthy tome that should have been a series. I’m also writing a series of dev notes. I suppose the main blog is a series now because this is part two. My gift of a Googly eyes CodePen was a success. I have no gift this week. […]| dbushell.com (blog)

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) are now commonplace on the web. When I wrote Resolution Independence With SVG for Smashing Magazine in 2012 many of the comments related to browser support and bugs. Back then we didn’t have Baseliness for peace of mind. SVG adoption was a slow burn. […]| dbushell.com (blog)
I’ve been rather mean to Deno lately. I wasn’t kind in my review of Deno & JSR last year either. I think it’s only fair that I see if my criticisms were addressed. Despite my misgivings I still use the Deno runtime itself. I previously wrote about Deno’s homepage redesign which was a lovely lick […]| dbushell.com (blog)
