For anybody where this is a thing, copy the "auth_token" cookie from FF to Chrome. I also copied the "twid" cookie for extra measure (seemed relevant) - but I'm not sure if it's necessary.

Twitter seems to be broken on Chrome too - at least for some users. I logged out & now cannot log in. Firefox works, but just super frustrating.

Bootstrap for life, yo.

Side-note: don't start a band with those chords.

This looks really interesting. I'd be very interested to see how you guys iterate to accommodate other frameworks or actual design systems. IMO Chakra isn't so much a design system as it is a framework (like Tailwind) - it's an abstraction to make common tasks easier. Would love to see something a little more "ui-kit-agnostic".

Nice work! Whilst I do love the hands-on approach of something like Style Dictionary, I can see the value prop here. Especially with design system standards semi-converging (in the wild at least).

Any plans on supporting native platforms in the future (sorry if I missed it in the docs)?

To be fair, making something like "can you account for all your international travels over the past 10 years?" sound like it's something exceptional to ask isn't really helping. Also speaking as someone from SA in Germany, accounting for the last say, 20yrs of travel, is also fine because it's very normal. However, I'm all for conversations highlighting the ridiculous nature of international relocation, having done so myself.

Oof, not a good look for Mozilla. Totally get the need for $ - but I don't know anybody who would pay for this, esp. with other companies like Google producing so much content around web technologies.

I see we're rounding up now.

It has?

I can think of very few areas in software development where there is this much innovation & diversity in frameworks & approaches to building something. Maybe our approach to usability has failed with all our "necessary" popups & cookie dialogues - there I agree. But to say "front end development" has failed simply because its evolved is a bit myopic IMO.

Seems censorship isn't just limited authoritarian governments. Super sad to see.

AWS has been amazing, even for someone who doesn't spend beyond 1,000 EUR. You always get a human on the other side of the line. GCP / Google I have no time for.

> nor do I miss its endless group talks without anything useful

Much of human communication is useless (on the surface).

Pretty invasive. Also where I started thinking maybe the author just preferred for everyone to be on their medium of choice (rather than they be on somebody else's medium of choice).

Good article, but like - is this really a problem or even a pattern people use?

Agreed - but imposing variety on an intermediate to advanced student can make them better. With a beginner starting lessons, the objective really is to make it fun + learn something.

What is usually interesting from a musical standpoint in your personal music taste. Jazz is very interesting, but not everyone's cup of tea, etc.

It wasn't invented. It was discovered. Even wild animals know alcohol.

Color, typography & design - in the context of user interfaces - is hard! Understanding color is great, but how that color relates to a user interface: totally different story.

I always remember this very old adage: don't be a dick.

Sooner or later we all make mistakes, but very important to remember that if you're the one holding the pitchfork - your turn might be up next. So, be kind. And if you're the one making the mistake: figure out what/why/how. And try again.

Interesting article, but somewhat of a false dichotomy.

> This absolutely hasn't eventuated - once again, applications are the problem. Photoshop's codebase and Instagram's codebase no doubt have sophisticated Image objects defined, but each only exists within its gated prison.

Photoshop & Instagram's "Image object" are not what make them good. What makes them good is their "Image object" in the context of their eco-system (app/platform/userbase/DESIGN/integrations/etc).

A building is (and has always been) the sum of it's parts.

Oooof. I've read a few of these now.

I actually think this too. Sadly I think that the real good stuff will only start happening in a good few years (decades maybe) when hardware catches up with our ideas.

Other than stylistic improvements & UX optimisations, the next big "landscape" might be AR.

100%.

Considering or are? 2 very different things. How do you mean "Flash player like"?

Yea to me I honestly think Google is throwing stuff at a wall and seeing what sticks. Personally I hope Flutter remains primarily on mobile.

I think you're missing a lot when you start comparing the web to vim extensions, IMO of course.

I don't think any person, even remotely, concerned about the open web / accessibility / building decent user experiences ever considered Flutter Web as a viable option for developing web apps.

The only people I've EVER heard talk positively about this is Google & other Flutter Developers that don't seem too concerned about web standards.

Totally agree!

I'm always surprised how much petty bitching people do about Apple.

First thing that occurs to me is how easily this can be used/exploited by people with less than great intentions.
