A while ago I caught myself pasting a JWT from a production API into the first "JWT decoder" Google gave me. I wanted to read the claims. I didn't stop to think about where the token went, and honestly, neither does anyone else. We do the same with .env files in JSON converters and with photos in EX
Every site I built with a coding agent this year had the same problem, and it took me a while to name it. The layout was fine. The type was fine. The copy was fine. But every section sat on the same solid color, nothing was in front of or behind anything, and the whole page read as a mockup that had
I spent a few months building an automated trading system: five bots wired together in n8n, a couple of local LLMs making the calls, Trading 212 for execution, Discord for the play-by-play. Every morning my phone lit up with green ticks. Position Closed ✅. Rebalanced ✅. Trade executed ✅. Then I act
This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition TL;DR: The money was already approved. It stopped at a sheet of paper nobody in the house could read. The Letter takes an official letter and speaks back, in your language, only what the letter actually says. Every spoken sentence must
I should start by saying that I'm not a web accessibility expert. I work in web development and deal with accessibility features regularly, but I've never had formal training in the field. To practice and learn, I ran a series of accessibility audits, and at the same time explored whether there's a
This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition What I Built I built Give Zakat — a modern, and accessible web application designed to help people accurately calculate and fulfill their obligatory annual charity. Demo givezakat.
This is a submission for Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition The problem, in one sentence When you donate $5 to a small charity online, you have no idea what actually happens to it — and you usually never hear back. Big donation platforms ask you to trust them. OpenPledge flips that a
One of the major improvements in WebForms Core 2.1 is the expansion of WebForms Place Criteria (WPC). WPC is a DSL built into WebForms Core for selecting, filtering, and manipulating HTML elements and groups of DOM elements. At its basic level, WPC provides selectors for finding elements by ID, Nam
I made an Pixelart Editor that is a table and I could make a few Nice Things with it: An Jump and Run Game as you can see, you are an red dot in an grid. You can Walk, jump and... where is nothing more... A Noising algorithm It took me way to long but now you can run the simplest Noising algo
Introduction Excel is a spreadsheet software tool that is widely used to organize, format, calculate, and analyze data in rows and columns. Its popularity stems from its user-friendly interface and powerful built-in functions and features, which make it easy for beginners and professionals alike to
I've been interested in this functionality (when a site detects your adblocker and kindly asks u to whitelist). The only idea that comes to mind is setting a div in the layout with "ad" class or something similar, and then if a user has adblocker the adblocker would be removing this div from the dom
My marketing homepage has interactive game demos, scroll animations, and a lot of moving parts. All of that kills first load if you ship it in one bundle. Here's how I kept it fast without cutting the fun stuff. Server-render the hero, lazy-load the rest. The only thing that needs to be fast is wha
This is a submission for the DEV Weekend Challenge: Generosity Edition. What I Built Kindness Chain is one page. You write one sentence about a kind thing you did or will do today, add your name if you want, and click "Add my link". Your sentence appears in the feed, then flips to "confi
Quick disclosure before I get into this: I work on PlotSet, so this isn't a neutral third-party review. I'll try to write it the way I'd actually want to read it though, trade-offs included, not just the good parts. The part of chart-making nobody talks about Making a chart from a spre
Someone sent me a screenshot of my own 404 page. Washed-out grey text on a light background, barely readable, nothing like the dark theme every other page uses. My first thought was a styling bug. It was not a styling bug. The page was crashing before it could paint, and the fallback I had built fo
how I make my templates easy to reskin (probably overthought this) so I do client work - dashboards, landing pages, that kind of thing. and at some point I noticed I basically build the same 5-6 things over and over. stat card, some kind of table, a hero section, a pricing grid. just... different c
We began choosing CSS tools depending on what a robot could read. In late August 2026, both Linear and Cursor said they were moving to Meta's StyleX, with Cursor ripping out Tailwind and Linear migrating from styled-components. ## Wait, why would anyone leave Tailwind? Tailwind became popular becaus
If you’ve built production apps in React Native, you’ve likely felt the friction of styling. On one hand, you have the built-in StyleSheet.create(). It’s performant, but it requires writing boilerplate object literals for every single component, leading to massive files and endless style-name inven
Angular applications are built around components, templates, data binding, directives, and a powerful rendering system. But underneath all of that, your application still runs inside a browser, and the browser ultimately renders HTML elements through the DOM — Document Object Model. Understanding
Ask any frontier model to implement binary search, and the answer will look impressive. Ask it to change a shared utility used by fourteen services without breaking callers, and the differences become much less polite. That is the problem with most “GPT-6 vs. Claude 5.1 vs. Gemini” comparisons. The
