@rauchg Split view from Arc is incredible, the way the tabs can drag and drop around each other and swap from the bookmarks bar. It's seamless and every browser should have it.

@mblayman Rails has some great innovation, but I think that's awesome and can be an inspiration for Django. Rails inspired our Wagtail RFC to use Stimulus https://t.co/ceYPuC7BVP and partially the Django background workers RFC https://t.co/oZQpbjWW6E

Vaul by @emilkowalski just hit 1.0 — one of my favorite @reactjs components because it’s a reminder of how good the web can look and feel.

I don't see it mentioned enough times, and it needs to be said. @git_fork **is** the best git client around period. End of sentence. It's lightweight, simple, fast, and it just continues to work without issue. Win & Mac, free to try and one time purchase. https://t.co/43q3IvDZCb

@thdxr Using modern CSS is probably worth a fresh look. PostCSS can polyfill as needed. SALT. Semantic elements, Attributes for state/blocks, using accessible basics first, Layers to manage the cascade and Tokens that drive custom properties. Just an idea.

@markdalgleish Take a look at Bati - it's got some interesting ideas around scaffolding a new React application with Vite/Vike. https://t.co/pB97GkZqFY

@thdxr Yep. I agree, I wish there was something simple that sits in the spectrum between configuration (static values) and basic rules expressions / value resolving. Started something for a project last year. https://t.co/0cZBVzaKRi

@MarcusHouse Great video this week, thanks for the amazing updates. Even over Easter.

@ryanflorence @BrooksLybrand @ebey_jacob Agreed, this is often forgotten as a brilliant capability of search params. A way to think about it is if you have a form with two inputs using the same name, they would be POSTed as an ordered array, same works for GET submit & in the URL params.

@marcoroth_ - do you know of any good examples of larger open source user facing projects using
