🎉 Chrome now accepts SVG favicons ( https://crbug.com/294179#c73 ), which means you can style your icon with inline prefers-color-scheme and you’ll get two icons for the price of one!
Demo: 🌒 https://dark-mode-favicon.glitch.me/ ☀️

Hi @TwitterSupport. Will you be removing the verified status of @CCHQPress for posing as an independent fact checking site? #leadersdebate #ITVLeadersDebate pic.twitter.com/CZFlycvFmy
HI @CCHQPress pretty sure you cant just change your cover photo and twitter handle to appear to be a non bias fact checker when it’s in fact the tory party press office account @TwitterSupport this is false advertising, and the account needs to be removed.
See the comments in the thread for why this makes more sense than using Flexbox 🙂 https://twitter.com/CSSInRealLife/status/1195306788612190210 …
I had no idea there was a reversed attribute! https://twitter.com/css/status/1194354975029239809 …
- How do I find a @vuejs developer?
- Don’t hire a @vuejs developer, hire a JS developer. Then give them a day on the docs and they’ll be a @vuejs developer. – @chrisvfritz
So true. Took me a day of reading the full docs (literally) to feel ready to build with Vue. #VueConfTO
With out of the box tree-shaking coming in @vuejs 3, you may very well end up with a 10KB (gzipped) runtime with no effort 🔥🌳
So, I made a #Drupal module in a weekend! https://www.drupal.org/project/simple_icons …. It doesn’t pass PHPCS yet – but it works! It provides a custom field type and Twig function to output one of 789+ SVG brand icons from the Simple Icons project, perfect for CMS managed social platform menus.
Vue 3 looks like it’s going to be great! https://vueschool.io/articles/vuejs-tutorials/exciting-new-features-in-vue-3/ …
In other words, it is literally impossible for us to negotiate better deals outside the EU than we already have as EU members because there’s a stack of legally binding treaties that say we can’t ever be offered terms better than the EU already has.
But the situation is worse than that, because several of these recent trade agreements struck by the EU have “MFN clauses” in them. What that means is both sides are prohibited by law from giving other countries a better deal unless it is given to the treaty counterpart too.
Since the 2016 referendum, the EU has secured free trade deals with:
- Japan
- Canada
- Singapore
- Vietnam
- MERCOSUR group nations (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay & Uruguay)
That means after Brexit, we’re not just giving up what we had in June 2016, but a lot more besides!
LEGO is the ultimate design system. Pieces from the early 80’s still work flawlessly with pieces from today. It’s incredible foresight.
I’ve always been a fan of @bathtype’s https://github.com/simple-icons/simple-icons … project as a easy source of brand icons, but haven’t found a nice way to use them in #Drupal without custom code – so I’m making my own module for CMS driven social media profile menus in site footers and so on. pic.twitter.com/hadJoTcZ9F

After much ado, I’ve just released #Drupal 8.8.0-beta1. From an airplane. ✈ Happy testing! https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/releases/8.8.0-beta1 …
This whole interface was built in two hours (admitted by a Tailwind pro) using @tailwindcss’s default configuration, and the resulting CSS compresses with Brotli down to 2kb. That’s absolutely wild! https://twitter.com/adamwathan/status/1192218338849677313 …
Congrats and thanks to the Media team for their epic work on getting to a stable Media Library in Drupal 8.8. It will be released later this week in 8.8.0-beta1! 🎬🎉🧁 https://twitter.com/drupal8changes/status/1191417123345772550 …
🔥 New Diablo 4 website, built with Tailwind 😎
As 31st Oct Brexit deadline arrives and country-wide riots fail to happen, Remainers wonder if such threats were in fact some sort of ‘fear-based project’.
just stumbled on @flaviocopes today. He has a seemingly unbroken chain of daily mini-tutorials for months (years)? https://flaviocopes.com/ Impressive. 👍
Slides from my @DrupalConEur talk ‘External Design Systems in Practice’ are here http://bit.ly/externalds-ams and the video is up here https://youtu.be/69GOvYIY8p4 Thanks to everyone who checked it out at this and other events. Probably the last run of it. New stuff incoming.
Do you realize how stupidly lucky we are to be in this industry where we LOVE what we do, we’re happy to do it in our spare time, we do it for fun, we sometimes do it for free etc.? When you take a step back to think about it’s really crazy.
Been having a bit of fun with @tailwindcss after shitting on it for months. It’s hard to change the way you do things so drastically, but once I had it setup and had a few components in place, I was moving faster than I ever have without a framework.
Leavers threatened people would take to streets, civil unrest, or even civil war if Brexit didn’t happen on 31st Oct - and thousands of Russian bots agreed with them on social media.
We didn’t leave (again) - and this was the demonstration.
Contrast this with 1m march for Remain https://twitter.com/jonathan_spink/status/1189942443241807874 …
