I build things to try and help other people build things.

G'day - I'm rather pleased to be launching a new web app today. I hope y'all find it useful:

@acabelt Happy it helped :)

Have I got news for you?

Find out what's occuring with Accessible Web Components as I'm building it:

Started building a new package - publishing it so I have to keep working on it:

Been doing some work around views and refactoring components, and needed some assertions to prevent regressions:

Another month of work - including some more improvements to https://t.co/KXVpl8DLHv

☑ improved suggestions when adding new todos
☑ added a search filter for the todo list
☑ accessibility improvements
☑ style tweaks

I just made my Grid Areas plugin a little bit more awesome by supporting dynamic class names to create dynamic values when you're using Tailwind CSS' JIT

It's been a busy few weeks since I launched https://t.co/BWepbocCAd

☑ Improved sorting in the to-do list
☑ Lots of improvements to style and accessibility
☑ Easily share what you've done today or yesterday
☑ Backup and migration
☑ Even slimmer - 75% smaller download

G'day to the other side of the world - I released a small big thing in https://t.co/BWepbouLOl yesterday.

(should have scheduled this - timezones are hard)
((also must remember to check for typos))

While I've been tweaking and improving things in https://t.co/BWepbocCAd since launch, I thought this new feature deserves a little bit of an announcement as a few of you have been asking for it.

Spent a bit of time noodling around on some logo ideas.

I think I have a favourite - do you?

#TailwindCSS version 3 was released this week, and I've updated my grid plugins to ensure compatibility.

Why does using specific tags instead of divs matter?

Because specific HTML tags make apps more:
✅ Accessible (used by screen readers)
✅ Maintainable (easier for fellow devs to read and understand)
✅ Machine parsable (SEO, metadata parsing, etc)
✅ Testable (target for tests)

@distantcam @Amys_Kapers @slace Please don't make me a sad wombat :(

[Savvy Wombat @SavvyWombat]

There are 114 valid HTML tags in the current standard - each one has a purpose.

How many can you remember without checking the list?

Added a new invert method to Color-PHP (and made a few improvements to the documentation)

Comparing the downloads of my Tailwind CSS grid plugins - seems that naming grid lines isn't as important/useful to people as being able to define and use grid areas.

grid-template-columns: [page-left] 1em [content-left] 1fr [middle] 1fr [content-right] 1em [page-right];

👀 The SavvyWombat site has a new look, and improved documentation for various open-source plugins and packages.

Take a look:
