Apr 03 Already worth it — our room is always so warm compared to the rest of the house (like 23C when the rest of the house is at 20), and last night I finally got to sleep with blanket instead of just a thin sheet 🥲 29 0 0 7.2k 209 .

Apr 01 Had a blast with @aarondfrancis on @MostlyTechPod this week — fun listen if you're interested in the business side of what we do and where we're thinking about taking things in the future 👍 https://t.co/2DgGbByBJF 223 7 10 21.4k 213 .
Apr 01 Shit I'm in trouble for this joke. https://t.co/HyAoJiGkjA 272 7 4 32.5k 58 .
Apr 01 Huge improvement we've made for Tailwind CSS v4.1 — It degrades much more gracefully in older browsers now, without giving up any of exciting modern features we've embraced for this new era of the framework. Here's Safari 15.5 running v4.0 and v4.1 side-by-side: https://t.co/pinMsfIR44 523 7 7 33.1k 288 .
Apr 01 Big news — we've partnered with Apple to integrate Tailwind CSS into Safari directly, making it the first browser that can render Tailwind sites with 0kb of CSS over the wire. Do your part and ship your sites with no CSS file to force other browsers to do the same 🤘🏻 4.1k 235 152 494.8k 268 .

Mar 31 @steveschoger New space means new gear 🫣 Today we ordered… - Two Apple Studio Displays - Two Ergonofis Sway desks - Two Humanscale Liberty chairs Can't wait to actually set up the real space, been long time since I've worked with another person in real life and really miss it 🤝🏻 46 0 1 9.3k 281 .
Mar 31 @steveschoger And here's the studio room which is a total disaster with both of us just crammed in here making it work until we can get a door hung for the other room 😄 https://t.co/9hiyq6CCy7 21 0 3 9k 192 .
Mar 31 Me and @steveschoger have both been hungry for a bit of a change, so we decided to commit to working together in person instead of remotely. We'll probably lease a space eventually, but for now we're taking over part of my house and turning into an office + video studio 🎥 https://t.co/x1LZXf9kfn 322 1 16 32.6k 297 .
Mar 30 You’re also signalling to users “the new ideas happen somewhere else first”, which may even be true (if so you should fight to change that) but certainly doesn’t help people choose your ecosystem. 53 0 0 12k 196 .
Mar 30 If you build a similar tool for another ecosystem, don’t just tweak the original name (like Remix to Vemix for Vue). Things will inevitably diverge and you will regret it. You’ll have to work way harder to get credit for your original ideas, because it’ll always look derivative. 331 5 21 37.8k 280 .

Mar 25 Great example of how if you just make *the absolute best thing out there* it’s hard for it to not get noticed. Bruno had no real audience but because this thing is incredible, you couldn’t open X today without hearing about it. Compete on quality — epic work Bruno! 🤩 821 23 9 65.4k 269 .

Mar 21 It is definitely good at stuff that isn't hard, but maybe that's the secret — need to stop reaching for it when I actually need help and instead use it to blast through the stuff I already know how to do but faster. 170 6 16 48.6k 215 .
Mar 21 o3-mini-high did a bit better — didn't admit in the first response that it wasn't possible and sort of misled me with `color-mix` but didn't make any promises at least, and was correct in the second reply 👍 https://t.co/3GZ2TwUxLE https://t.co/MshnaOGvWG 62 1 5 18.6k 255 .

Mar 20 Long shot but does anyone know of any undocumented CSS properties that Safari added support for in 16.6? I need to write a `@​supports` query that only targets <= 16.5 because of a stupid bug in Safari 16.4/16.5 that causes the tab to totally crash. Maybe @bramus has an idea? 🫣 21 0 3 14.9k 280 .

Mar 19 Deeply depressing Chrome bug I found out about recently — `oklch` colors are just sort of broken when used on `html`/`body`. See how the top and bottom sections are slightly different colors? 😭 https://t.co/fJQzJFYlzX 544 13 30 105.8k 218 .

Mar 18 Having a nice permanent video setup + the magic of @screenstudio (h/t @pie6k) means it was literally 10 minutes from the time I thought to make a video about this to the time it was posted here. So cool! 296 2 17 29k 203 .

Mar 16 As an example, it's the only AI I've used that can accurately answer questions about a Fortnite update hours after it releases (e.g. "how do I get access to the new vault in location XYZ") because it can pull all that info from tweets. Very cool 👍🏻 43 0 2 10.9k 248 .

Mar 14 We shipped an update to Tailwind CSS recently that removes all unused theme variables from your generated CSS 🧹 Was skeptical about this one originally but the output is actually really nice — love being able to see your real color palette at a glance in dev tools. 748 16 22 46.1k 266 .

Mar 12 CSS-based safelisting support incoming for Tailwind CSS v4.1 ✨ Using brace expansion instead of regular expressions, which makes the generated CSS much more predictable and also makes this whole thing much more compatible with how dynamic things are in v4. https://t.co/HsusWt9yOY 311 24 15 26k 281 .

Mar 04 Seriously I must have known this? But for some reason my brain processed it as a syntax error today and was surprised it worked, as if it was some sort of magic string interpolation that made no sense. But of course it works 😄 anyways trust me I’m an expert programmer. 63 0 6 18.5k 269 .

Feb 26 Confession: I hate the Tailwind typography plugin, especially the convoluted JS customization API. We don't use it in our own projects, we just make a little `typography.css` file and add the styles we want.
