Tidal because I wanted a simple last.fm integration, otherwise it would be apple music. Tidal is definitely lacking on the software side.

You’re not missing much. Spotify recommendations are almost worthless at this point: anything that's not just a feed of artists you already know is crammed full of made-for-Spotify fake artists and AI slop.

I have thought about adding a button which opens every single component example in a new tab but browsers don't really like it when you try to open 100 tabs with JS!

I like your idea and it should be pretty easy to implement.

I haven't seen any examples of this, no. I experimented a bit with using LLMs to audit the component examples a while back but I wasn't satisfied with the accuracy of the results. This looks like a good use case though – it would definitely be nice to show common props on component pages. Thanks!

ok, so it turns out this is really hard to automate. I've found a pretty good workflow but it's still quite labour-intensive. I'm going alphabetically by component: just finishing the checkboxes now.

in totally unrelated news I've just added Palantir's open source Blueprint UI toolkit

I've been using plausible.io on component.gallery for over 4 years now. It might work out a little bit more expensive than the alternatives but they've been kind enough not to charge me extra whenever I've had the odd popular month which pushed me over my page views quota.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction with this. The flash of the fallback font is a lot less frequent now with <link rel="expect"…> but I'm not sure if that's just because the transition to the new page is delayed – I'll do a bit more experimentation and let you know what I discover.

Thanks! I've sent you a DM. It might not even be possible to completely remove the FOUT just using CSS view transitions yet. I assume the Astro ClientRouter is doing a lot more under the hood to make things behave like a SPA but I also could have missed something very obvious!

thanks for the advice! the pure CSS alternative is broadly working – unfortunately it results in a flash of unstyled text which you don't get when using the astro ClientRouter. Do you know a solution for that?

I do love it though
