I'm a software developer from Poland living in Northampton, UK. I'm a web standards enthusiast, accessibility advocate, and simplicity guardian.
Browser engineers encourage blogging about issues with engines, so here I’m reporting an issues with Safari that doesn’t respect the justify-content property on the subgrid containers. The justify-content is not only a property of a flexbox, but you can also use it on grid containers to define how to distribute the space between items. < section class = 'grid' > < div > one </ div > <…
End of July? Seriously? Feels like yesterday when I celebrated New Year’s Eve, and all of a sudden it is the end of July. Can we all slow down a little, please? Not a little. Slow down! You, time, the world. Pretty please! I’m in a good mood today, but not in a good one to write interesting intros, so let’s go straight to the album of the month (it is a good one), and of course links. I have…
Inspired by Andy Bell , a few years ago I added a music page to my website. It is a mirror copy of my Discogs collection that I have meticulously maintained for over a decade now. A few folks have asked me before “how I keep my Discogs collection in sync with my music page”, so here is the answer. Next time someone asks, I can share this link, because links on the web are cool, right?…
The reason I write more Go than JavaScript nowadays is not because there is anything wrong with the language, but because I’m tired of the ecosystem. The language on its own is really good, it is the first programming language that I became productive with and I’m still motivated to keep up with the new additions to its specification. Every year after the final language specification approval, I…
At the last State of the Browser after party, Manuel Matuzović was hanging around and randomly snapping pictures with friends using an instant thermal printing camera that he nicked from one of his daughters. What a fun it was! The next day I ordered the exact same one off Amazon for £18 for my daughter myself. It’s shocking how cheap some tech has become. This little gadget came with a 32GB…
Do you remember the little drama with Apple and Google proposing two contradicting ideas about the native CSS way for masonry layout implementation? It is all over, and what we got is a beautiful compromise between the two in a the form of display: grid-lanes . This is super exciting as it has been a frequently requested feature for many years, and the number of downloads of JS libraries like…
Since you landed on my blog, the chance is high you’re a tech-savvy web geek. If you publish stuff yourself, the chance is even higher that you came across standard.site , a set of lexicons to sync your writing with the AT Protocol . There’s a tonne of hype on the internet about the thing, and a bunch of friends integrated their blogs with it and published guides on how you can do so.…
Pretty big month for the web. Tons of great posts came out, Apple WWDC took place and a few shocking acquisitions happened as well. I have been travelling for work and with family this month a lot so no other crazy updates from my personal life this month, but as always great music recommendations for you all and a bunch of links. We freaking love good links right! Enjoy! Album of the month…
Some of the tech giants for the past few years have tried hard to kill the most important tool of the web, links. AI companies have stolen content from the web without ever asking for permission just to wrap it into the soulless chats that keep on forgetting to credit the original authors. They rarely mention where the source of the information comes from. You know, a link. Let’s forget the…
Drama about the pricing of AI models, countless npm vulnerabilities and Google I/O that at this point should be rebranded to Google AI. This is a short summary of the past month in software. Most of the news from these categories I entirely ignore, so I prepared for you a list of super non-trendy resources from the past month, as I do every last day of each month for the past 11 years. A few bits…
