I hope you had a great start into the week! In the past days I've managed to collect another list of outstanding #posts and #articles in the #frontend #webdev space. Enjoy!
1. Modern CSS patterns in Campfire by Jason Zimdars
Nice, modern setup despite my doubts that "no compiler" is going in the right direction; I'd still regard some checker / optimizer as useful.
2. Adding Speech Navigation to a Website by Sarah Okolo
I love the speech API and the whole concept outlined in the article is quite nifty - well done!
3. Converting Plain Text To Encoded HTML With Vanilla JavaScript by Alexis Kypridemos
So - Markdown?! Really liked the way how the project and the ideas are presented.
4. Best Icon Libraries for a Dev in 2024 by Masum Parvej
Icon fonts are out - time to find your new buddy!
5. How to Build AI Products That Don’t Flop by Steve Sewell
In short: Don't use AI to build an AI product; use your brain.
6. New Wasm Project Brings Web Components to Backend Languages by Loraine Lawson
It seems like we finally found a use case for WASM!
7. Get your codebase ready for React 19 by Adrienne Ross
I got mine already ready for React 20 - why care about 19?
8. 5 Tailwind CSS Anti-Patterns to Avoid by Jonathan Chaffer
I think this is a great list - especially since it aligns very well with my own experience using Tailwind.
9. Freelancing for Front End Developers: Tips for Success by Joseph Umunna
Well, you have to try (and sometimes therefore: fail) before you know it works.
10. HTMX vs. Vue and React -- Pros and Cons by Nweke Emmanuel Manuchimso
In my book it's not so often "versus" but rather "when" and "in combination with". Why choose one if you can have both?
🙏 Many thanks to all authors for their hard work - much appreciated!
