Forgot that I wrote up a post about authoring CSS in modern JS apps before Labor Day 🤦‍♂️

And the hero experiment for this post is inspired by Apple Wallet's imagery! 🌈

Ever wonder how Next.js, Vite, and others use npm create to scaffold out projects for you? I wrote up post on how it works and how to build your own: https://t.co/VzOO0elxZa

Firefox is the clear winner. It's bundled with the browser and has all the controls available that you would expect from a video player.

I use picture-in-picture (PIP) a bunch to watch a video while doing something else on my computer.

🧵Here's a quick comparison between PIP players in Chrome, Firefox, and Safari to air out my gripes:

[Alex Chan @alexchantastic]

Safari is second and almost just as bad as Chrome's but it comes bundled so no extension required.

One of my repos just got to 300 stars! 🌟

Nothing huge, but it's always nice to see people using stuff you made.

v2.0.0 of figma-export is out with some new features to better support organizations with multiple teams! https://t.co/cyr6CLoyDu

Did you know that Figma drafts are just an "invisible" project? You can actually grab this drafts project ID and access your drafts via Figma's REST API.

Just navigate to your drafts and then search for paginated_files in your network requests.

Last @alfredapp workflow for a bit...

Here's one to quickly add timestamped notes to a designated file on your machine: https://t.co/m0PhfJNIE2

I've found this really useful for jotting something down quickly without breaking my flow.

Discovering how much easier it is making @alfredapp workflows now. So another follow up workflow: opening the current or selected Finder folder in Terminal!

Now that I've switched over to Neovim full time, I ported over an @alfredapp workflow to open the selected file or folder in Finder in Neovim.

This currently only supports opening Neovim in iTerm2, but I'm open to adding support for more terminals/GUIs!

Got a few requests for supporting SSO in figma-export so I just pushed up a new version which now supports providing your Figma auth cookie in lieu of a password.

It's a bit of a workaround, but I tested it with Google SSO and it works!
