This week I went to the CSS day conference. It had been 5 years since I had joined CSS day (with no editions in 2020 & 2021), and I was glad to once again visit Amsterdam for an excellently organized two days of talks about CSS. The conference kicked off with Una Kravets from the […]
- Posted in development storybook ui webdev
I recently started switching a Storybook that was based on the MDX format to the Component Story Format 3.0 format, skipping the 2.0 entirely… so some things were not that clear to me. I’m documenting them here for the reference of myself and others. Thse examples work in Storybook 6.5, and I believe also in […]

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. […]
- Posted in css development tailwind webdev workflow - 8 comments
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 […]
- Posted in blijvend-leren svelte ui web webdev
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 […]
Some things I learned about Pug this week. Putting them here so I don’t forget. I think by now I know most there is to know about Pug. That only took 7 years of using it… :D! First up – mixin composition, you can use block as an equivalent to <slot> in other template languages […]

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 […]
- Posted in apple development rant webdev - 1 comment
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 […]
