I almost titled this “Yo dawg, I herd you like windows so I put windows in yo windows so you can use windows while ur using windows” 😂 Here's the deal: I’ve been mulling over some interface concepts for a new app I’m designing, and it occurred to me it might make sense to use an old-school desktop metaphor for organizing the “documents”. All of a sudden I wondered: maybe there’s already a good #JS library which can do the heavy lifting for me? Answer: there is! #WebDev

Put Windows in Your Web App with WinBox.js

No, I’m not talking about an emulator of Microsoft Windows. I’m talking windows as a UI construct.

Move over Bootstrap. Web Awesome is an awesome successor to what in my opinion was already the best open source #WebComponents library (Shoelace) on the market. Now we have the best #CSS framework on the market. All of the CSS is…um…just CSS and all of the components are…um…just web components. Native #WebDev APIs across the board. 🙌 Take a first look at the brand new public beta:

#26: Hello, Again! (and Why You’re Here)

Caring about vanilla web tech and the open standards process

I hate saying things which seem blindingly obvious, but when Famous People™ such as Theo on YouTube make these basic mistakes, I wonder. 🧐 So here you go: `document.querySelector("# my-dumb-button").addEventListener(...)` is completely obsolete in the year 2025. Never do that again please. You don't need to! If you're wondering “well, what should I do instead?”, leave a comment and we'll talk about what to do instead. Apparently it will BLOW YOUR MIND! 😂 #HTML #JavaScript #WebComponents
