Testing can be fun, actually
Writing and maintaining tests is boring. But they're also some of the most valuable code we can write. With this blog post you'll learn a criminally underrated testing technique to add to your testing...

BREAKING: WIN 🏳️⚧️ 💥
The High Court just refused Sex Matters' permission to ban trans women from the Hampstead ponds. We're relieved that the ponds can remain a place where trans people have always belonged.
Thank you to the all the people that pushed back against division.

So far we have:
- accordion
- tabs
- toggle
- tooltip
Building these takes a significant amount of effort. A lot of care goes into accessibility, sensible keyboard interactions, docs, api design…
It’s fun, I don’t mind doing it, but I also don’t mind affording rent too yaknow 😅

are any of lustre's production users interesting in sponsoring some work to produce something like base-ui but for lustre?
this would be beneficial for everyone but particularly for prod users because building this kind of thing takes time away from product development

Can anyone recommend a good Inkscape tutorial?
More and more being able to make simple graphics would help with Gleam work.

Going to be back in Paris between the 3rd and 5th of February! Anyone available then to meet up at some point?
At very short notice I'm going to Paris tomorrow, and I'll be staying there for a couple of days. Any Gleamlins or other cool people in Paris want to meet up on Saturday or Sunday?
