300+ icons later, ng-animated-icons v1.0.0 is live on npm 🚀

I’m finally bringing lucide-animated by @pqoqubbw to the Angular ecosystem. If you are tired of shipping static icons, this is for you.

npm i ng-animated-icons

Or, copy the icons you want!

@kiiradesign How do we copy the whole oklch value at once, say as a CSS value?

[🦋 Ajit @ajitzero]

@steveruizok It's it available on CD though?

[Matthieu Riegler @matt_riegler]

Btw feel free to let the world know that this is now my new account since I wasn't able to recover @jean__meche.

I finally got the chance to finish up my work on the @NativeScript Windows Runtime also added support for WinUI3 inside of Core. We plan to add desktop support in the next major 😇. So yes @windowsdev support for all

I created a demo app for anyone wanting to give it a try 👇

@Enea_Jahollari If you’re interested in Spartan UI, you can check out https://t.co/En3AOVsVCz, which builds components with Spartan UI 😁

spartan/ui is 1.0 🎉

55+ accessible Angular components. Signals, zoneless-ready, SSR out of the box.

Built by an incredible group of maintainers and over 100+ spartans that contributed.

Made possible by @zerops.

This is madness! This is spartan!

Did you know that over 20% of mobile users have font size increased in their OS settings? Taiga UI components properly react to this so your interfaces will be easily accessible to the elderly and people with vision issues. Check out our library:

@steveruizok How feasible would it be to have the opposite of progressive disclosure: hide guiding & trust markers over time over repeated actions as users get more fluent with your product. I read about this a while ago where keyboard shortcut hints were hidden for frequent actions over time

@colinhacks Can we configure it to use fnm or volta? Like, I already have a bunch of projects that use multiple node versions, and fnm managed that for now

@RhysSullivan Cubic & CodeRabbit have been great so far. Honorary mention for pullfrog, haven't used it yet but looks great

[🦋 Ajit @ajitzero]

@jlongster That's brilliant

Playing around with @GetNorrix.

Angular, Vue, Svelte, and SolidJS devs, unite!

NativeScript and Norrix provide a similar experience to React Native and Expo, but you don’t have to leave the framework you love.

Try it today.

I really believed a whole generation of developers, who only know open source from npm and pypi, miss how open source actually used to work.

When Debian or a Linux distribution ships a dependency they take responsibility of it. If there is a security issue and it’s not fixed by the developer upstream, they fix it for their users.

Debian and others basically vendor every thing they distribute. They honor the license and they maintain patches. Most of the stuff that you get from your Linux distribution is basically a (small) fork.

The same is true for Apple, Microsoft and others. The open source software they ship, they carry that responsibility.

That doesn’t mean that security fixes are not upstreamed, but Apple or Debian or anyone else won’t jump in Twitter to shame a developer into compliance with their ways. They are not dependent on the health of a packaging infrastructure. They own their software including all the things it depends on.

I want that thinking back. Because it fundamentally makes people feel more responsibility and it shares the burden of issues. It also does not put so much focus and attention on the one overworked developer who just happened to have too much of the world depend on their library. Remember: they carry a responsibility they never signed up to and they never got compensated for.

All the people talking about “taste” are too scared to say the real word.

Think about all the people the world has considered to have taste.

Steve Jobs. Grace Jones. Pharrell Williams. Masaharu Morimoto. Joan Didion. Issey Miyake. Ava Duvernay. Jony Ive. Virgil Abloh. Rick Rubin. Anna Wintour. Spike Lee. Toni Morrison. Prince. Wes Anderson. Björk. And so many more.

What do they have in common?

An opinion.

The people we think of as having the best taste are actually the people who have a strong and unique opinion.

What was Steve Jobs’ taste? That‘s hard to answer.

What was Steve Jobs’ opinion? That one’s way easier: that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

If I was training a junior designer—or an agency owner—today, I’d tell them to forget about working on taste and instead show them how to develop an opinion. Here are the steps:

1️⃣ Live some life. You can’t have an opinion about the world without experiencing it. Travel. Work with people who don’t look like you or think like you. Eat unfamiliar food. Sit in rooms you weren’t invited to. Read outside your discipline.

2️⃣ Find the thing you believe that the world disagrees with. Jobs believed simplicity was worth more than features. Morrison believed Black readers didn’t need white translation. Abloh believed streetwear and couture could coexist.

3️⃣ Dream about what the world would look like if more people agreed with you. What you picture is your vision. The clearer it is, the harder to talk you out of it.

4️⃣ Make all your decisions based on that picture. An opinion creates a crossroad. Commit to the path less traveled.

5️⃣ Say your opinion out loud to as many people as you can, as many times as you can. Many will ignore you. Others will call it arrogant and stupid. Until enough people agree. Then they’ll call it “taste.”

Massive hike in #petrol prices is a prime example of the failure of Congress-led UPA. This will put a burden of hundreds of crores on Guj.
