My mom calls me mijo

I do web platform things with a hint of 🏳️‍🌈 at Airbnb – Lit core team & xoogler on Chrome and Google Design
Trying @diabrowser.com again with the new focus mode. It's super snappy compared to Arc but the lack of site search and color-coding of my windows for profiles is sorta debilitating for my workflows >.<

🥳 Congrats on the launch, @developer.mozilla.org!

Yet another piece of our web dev tool belt built with web components and Lit 😎
We’ve launched MDN’s new front end — and it’s just the beginning.

Intentionally targeting Baseline "Widely available" features when deciding on which ones to use. This means we're able to adopt modern CSS and web components for our UI.

You will know if I've been replaced by an LLM if my code starts saying

Someone posted a link to TanStack Table on the @lit.dev discord. I didn't know about this before, and wow! it looks awesome!

The examples show very idiomatic Lit patterns for a headless UI utility. Reactive controllers, repeat(), `@state()`, and more.

After writing a mini-html AST builder, I'm impressed at how quickly HTML as a language bails on unexpected tokens and just calls it Text or a Bogus Comment

Preact Signals just got a huge performance boost:

Signals rendered as text/props & effects only "pull" as fast as needed for rendering. Since computeds run as-needed, they now only re-run as often as their downstream DOM output can be painted.

H/t to @jovidecroock.com for making this happen.

Are you new to Lit & need a jump start? Or are you a Lit veteran & can't quite remember that _one_ callback name? Well do we have the article for you!

We've just published the Lit Cheat Sheet! An article that has a bunch of quick code snippets for all sorts of code patterns

Has someone made an open source docker image that essentially deploys an open source ChatGPT interface and your favorite locally-hosted model to AWS or whatever?

There are so many ChatGPT interface copycats out there, that there really should just be a common open source project that does this

I've never understood the dislike of decorators in the broader JS community. Ad-hoc metaprogramming is everywhere in JS. But formalise it and everyone hates it?
