It is time to drop some esoteric knowledge again, for the Googling people that get into the same pickle as me. And for myself, when I have this problem on a new machine. So the problem is as follows: sometimes you get into a situation where formatting on save goes against the rules set in […]
In the video above I demonstrate a little app and its code in a slightly unorderly fashion, so I thought I’d put some words down and hopefully make things more clear. First of all, this is just a demo app and not a real-life application, although it contains concepts that a real-life application will need […]
When you declare a variable with SCSS, like so: And you use it somewhere, but you make an error… …the compiler will warn you. In fact the project probably won’t compile. This prevents you from making a wrong reference. This type of bug is a “wrong reference bug” i.e. we are referencing the wrong thing. […]

For a while, I blocked the Tailwind keyword on Twitter. I was a bit mad that @tailwindcss and author Adam blocked me on Twitter after I wrote a bit of criticism that got popular. I was also tired of getting dragged in every Tailwind related conversation on the Svelte Discord. Apparently people thought it would […]

Ik ben on and off aan het werken aan een UI framework voor Svelte. Wat mij eigenlijk altijd al gestoord heeft in user interfaces is dat je een laag hebt van gestylede browser UI, en dan een laag custom plugins die helemaal niks van elkaar afweten qua styling en waar je maar in aan het […]

This week a project I was working on a project that needed clickable table rows. In most of my web app designs I like to put icon buttons in my tables that point to the right for going deeper a level. But in the design we were implementing, no such chevrons were in place, and […]

With PWA’s not showing up in the App Library in iOS14, it is once again super clear that Apple has no interest in investing in PWAs. I can make a web app that runs full screen in a week, that can provide valuable information and that can run offline. But Apple has no interest in […]
I’ve been “fighting” against Tailwind for a while, and there’s 4 different kinds of reactions: Please stfu, Tailwind is awesome, [insert technical argument] Johan, why do you bore me with these technical things? Can you please tweet about cooking? And where is your new post about sim racing? If you don’t like it, just don’t […]

This is mostly a reference for myself. For some technical things I tend to use my own blog if I forget something. This is an example of how to use Yalc as an alternative to npm link . I find that npm link doesn’t always do what it should, and I found yalc to work […]
