Logitech: Here’s a mouse with AI

I mean suddenly every open graph image I see is dynamic. But yall all do it differently. Wild.

How are yall doing these dynamic open graph images? I’m porting/re-aligning my website to @eleventy and I’d like to upgrade my default boring open graph image.

One day I’ll be able to implement a CSS counter without looking everything up, but today is not that day.

What do people use for supplying user styles to webpages?

I know about the browser extensions, Stylus (ie, Stylish without spyware) and Stylebot.

And I know Arc has Boosts.

I modified the big chonker scrollbar to be semi-transparent. It blends into a website’s existing colors a bit better now.

11ty peeps, say I have the following:

pages/
– 10-my-first-page.md
– 20-my-second-page.md
– 30-my-third-page.md

I'm setting the permalink thusly:

permalink: "{{ page.filePathStem }}/"

What is the easiest way to get 11ty to ignore the number in the slug that I am using just for sorting purposes? I would like the permalink to be, for example:

/pages/my-first-page/index.html

But currently I get:

/pages/10-my-first-page/index.html

I’m about to go down a rabbit-hole reading about Preact signals. This readme is good but I would also like to see the explain-it-like-I’m-five version.

I recently decided every website I visit should have a giant scrollbar I can easily click and drag. Here’s the medium gray one I came up with that I’m applying as a user style.

It’s mostly for webkit-compatible scrollbars but I did add one rule for FF/standards-compatible scrollbars to prevent scrollbar-width: thin.

Remember when 960.gs was the GOAT?

It’s that time of year in the US where you don your ceremonial robes, prepare your incantations, and bring all your wit and wisdom to bear…

…in accurately guessing how much money you owe the government.

What do people use for deploying/building code these days?

I use DeployHQ and I like it but I’m limited to 10 projects on the lowest tier. Next plan is double the cost so I’m shopping for alternatives because I have a lot of tiny projects.

I’d prefer not to have to write YAML.

An optimistic take on the deluge of AI-generated text: your own human writing becomes rarer and thus more valuable than ever.

OH: “They’re nice on the phone but they’ll eff you on paper.”

Had a great time talking home-cooked apps and generally shooting the webdev breeze with @davatron5000 and @chriscoyier.

Who do I need to lobby in order to get and more granular scrollbar styling abilities in Firefox? Or is this a web standards thing?

Asking because my favorite user CSS to apply to websites is to make the scrollbar about twice as big.
