Ladybird’s new User-Agent string. Turns out browser devs are still living with the consequences of the Browser Wars and they have to do funny things like this to get websites to send them modern webpages.

spent an entire day debugging why my tailwind v4 styles weren’t working in a pnpm monorepo. no errors, no warnings, just vibes from 1997. two config options fixed it. saved you a day: https://matthewmorek.com/journal/fixing-tailwindcss-v4-in-a-monorepo-with-next-js

if you want to be great at frontend, you should think of everything as composable layers like in Photoshop. positioning, stacking, scaling things correctly is like 80% of the job.

Docusaurus runs a "CSS optimizer" on build which literally moves your rules around. This is so unsafe, it's like they forgot what the C stands for

json-render: conditionally-rendered UI components from structured JSON objects. Conceptually this is not that new – a lot of frontend engineering is strategically modeling, mapping and merging data you want to display into a self-consistent shape that interactive UI components expect. But I expect we’ll see more tools and frameworks like this that will help formalize this process as a more succinct and structured“grammar”, especially now that we’re delegating lots of data analysis tasks to non-deterministic LLMs. Overall, a healthy trend that should eliminate lots of boilerplate code and entire classes of bugs (on top of what TypeScript and Standard Schema already do in JavaScript-land), even if your inputs aren’t coming directly from an AI. https://x.com/ctatedev/status/2011589295862395238

here’s the thing nobody wants to admit: LLMs can’t tell you if an interaction feels good https://matthewmorek.com/journal/llms-can-t-tell-you-if-your-ui-feels-good https://x.com/mattpocockuk/status/2010728707997278296?s=20
