What do folks use for managing their web site/app's theming variables so they're both available in CSS and JS?

There are cases where having access to them in JS is useful, such as when drawing to a .

Everything as CSS variables + some JS code to access variables from stylesheets?

JSON used to generate both CSS and JS?

The video of my talk from #sotb2024 is up.

I live-code Daft Punk on stage to give a whirlwind tour of the Web Audio and Web MIDI APIs, and reflect on what the Web does better than any other platform.

Please watch and share!

I've been banging on about how shit the tradeoffs Android SoCs have made are for most of a decade now, and it's amazing to see a vendor finally turn the corner. Giving the "little" cores almost no cache was always a terrible choice as it means they spend ages spun up waiting for main memory!

I am very happy to announce that Rabbit Waves is out!

The idea for this project came after @neauoire & I were discussing the disappearance of certain traditional seasteading skills and maritime communication knowledge. We believe these skills are valuable when electronics misbehave, but they're also just generally fun to learn and to use.

All of the art is drawn by hand :>! We will add more content as we go!

• a sketchbook page featuring some hand drawn art of the phonetic alphabet, as well as how to communicate with flag semaphore. (remote)

Increasingly, my strongest frontend opinion is that styles and markup should never, ever come from more than one source.

Send and receive data only.

Turn it into markup after you get it. Style it if you want to. But never, ever let markup or styling in the front door.

Half of the EU stock for the Mastodon plushie has been claimed over the last two days. What's perhaps even more exciting is that I think some of the first orders should be arriving at people's homes today (depending on locality), and I'm really looking forward to seeing The Creature in the #Plushtodon hashtag.

23 years ago the first release of Plone 0.1 saw the daylight, and about 23 hours ago the latest release to the Plone project was made. Just how amazing it is, that this open source CMS has been around for so long, and is still being developed further by this active and lovely community?

Happy birthday Plone! 😍 🎂
