for those of you who know about web dev . . .

I’m a 90% stack dev (amateur, in my spare time!)

currently I’m building a new web site (OK, four new web sites to be precise)

the HTML works

the PHP works

the mySQL works

I even have some images (with a bit of help and a bit of anguish from an AI image generator)

2 weeks so far

now for the CSS bit

CSS is not my favourite bit

this may take me another 2 weeks!

Not contributing to #Laravel framework anymore.

They got millions in investments. They can pay their own maintainers. They’re pushing their paid ecosystem and partners (like WorkOS) in #Laravel12. They will be fine.

Alternatively, you can always “go back” to the rock solid #Symphony framework.

I wonder what PHP would win if the codebase was rewritten entirely in Rust.

My bet? Given the Rust ecosystem, we would be months away of truly async, green threads, non blocking IO, and a complete performant web server implementation.

Neat stuff about #CSS color spaces.

I have been playing with NodeJS for a few months now, and just wrapped up my first project. I still don't understand why we want to use JavaScript server-side as opposed to a server-side language like PHP. What am I missing? Who can enlighten me?

If you still think CSS isn't programming, check this out. It's wild.

Create a super fun "focus by negation" effect

Adam Argyle posted a cool looking effect on his blog recently. It's not exactly practical in it's final form, but the earlier stages of it could be useful, a...

I spent the equivalent of work-day today writing 9 different guides on getting started with HTML, and then getting yourself setup with Neocities.

Please clap, or share maybe haha

On a brighter note, I just implemented Mastodon comments on my #blog test page, thanks to @dpecos's excellent repo:
github.com/dpecos/mastodon-com…

Maybe someday I'll seriously try to make it so I can update my "finished/played games" thread through my blog, but for the time being I'll be happy to just adapt the #CSS to my site and see how streamlined I can make the process of posting/tooting and then tying the blog post and the toot together without extra, manual steps.

#RegEx is hell. 😬

Took me a good while, missing around at regex101, before I figured out the expression I needed to handle cutoff points for my website's blog posts.

Then, oops, it turns out that #PostgreSQL uses a different form of regex that my expression didn't work with.

So I spent another half-eternity figuring out *why* it didn't work and then coming up with a different way to do it. Ended up going "oh, the second branch just needs to DO THIS" and then suddenly it worked.

I am always surprised that developers praise #Laravel.

You do know it is #PHP underneath, right?

I haven't figured out what to do with my #neocities page yet (if anything), so I added a reference to the awesome #w3c Statement on Ethical Web Principles for now.

I pushed a feature update for fietkau.software/qr today. 🙂

It has two fun new shape styles, a bunch of added logos (👋 @pixelfed @joinpeertube @Codeberg @forgejo and more), some advanced options for turbo nerds, and irregularly shaped logos now get better cutouts.

I think this covers most of the feature requests I've received. 😀

QRSVG

QRSVG is a small JavaScript project to render a two-dimensional bitmask (mostly assumed to be a QR code) to an SVG element as a collection of SVG paths with defined purposes.

I finished another #webdev side project and built the QR code generator of my dreams: fietkau.software/qr

* It's instant, purely client-side, and has no ads or upsells.
* It has a variety of color, shape, and logo embedding options.
* There's PNG and SVG export.

The included logo selection is, let's say, "opinionated" and features lots of familiar faces if you enjoy federated social platforms. 😄

Here are a few example QR codes that all lead back to my Mastodon profile.
