My new portfolio website is finally live after many weeks of work! It has been built with many great techs: @nuxt_js, @tailwindcss, @daisyui_, @storyblok, @Netlify, GSAP by @greensock, Lenis by @darkroomdevs, @threejs via @tresjs_dev. It is live at stefanobartoletti.it

@edankwan It is an amazing work, no surprise for the awards to be honest

You never really know if people will connect with your work. This one felt even more unpredictable because, compared with the commercial projects we usually do, it was basically a joke. So winning with such a high score was a real surprise. It even scored higher than our own Lusion Site of the Year website. To everyone who voted for us, thank you. It means a lot. And to those who did not, I will remember this. :)

@wesbos Looks like I'm cool

@lusionltd 🤯🤯🤯

Over the past year, a lot of the conversation has been around how quickly AI is changing the digital world. At the same time, it made us think about how little has changed in the physical one. Most products are still designed the same way, just with more features layered on top. We wanted to explore a different direction at Lusion. Instead of asking how to add intelligence, we asked what happens if you take things away. What remains when you strip a product back to its core purpose, and design it properly from there. Oryzo is our first attempt at that. It is a physical product, built with a very simple idea of how it should exist and behave. No dependency on external systems, no complexity for the sake of it. Just something that feels considered. Curious to hear what people think. Link is in the comment!

@arzafran Skills as a service?

are skills the future of SaaS?

@mariosmaselli Yes, it really depends on the specific clients and projects. I think that the daily rate is more common for ongoing collaborations

@ste_bartoletti Interesting... because even when I was a freelancer my clients (in most cases agencies) will ask for me also a closed price for a project. It was very rare to work on a daily or hourly rate. Anyway, thanks for the feedback :)

We experimented this year with component-based pricing instead of page-based pricing. The goal: better scoping, better transparency, fewer surprises. 25–30 components = X budget. Simple, in theory. In reality, clients still think in “pages,” not systems. And that disconnect matters. Would love to hear how others are pricing modern web projects.

@mariosmaselli I tend to use daily rate or less often full project price, but I guess it is different between freelance and agency. In your example I guess there is an correlation between comps and pages so you can give client per-page converted price even if internally you base it on comps

@ste_bartoletti Do you still budget by pages then?

You know you are doing something weird when your AI agent replies to you "You are probably right!" instead of "You are absolutely right!"

I just love how Copilot can get creative with its auto-completion suggestions for code comments, inventing whole stories in its own head

@dghez_ @borgatov Fire! 🔥

˗ˏˋ tic. tic. tic. tic. tic. tic. ˎˊ˗ Fancy text reveal on scroll. @borgatov's new portfolio in the making. Coming soon———————ish, i guess.

@alvarosabu @marcba I know that developers have no problems in copy-pasting other people's code, but this is too much 😂

When you ask ChatGPT to iterate on your first image @marcba

@mariosmaselli Storyblok can be and option, i use it even on the free plan without needing full paid plan even for client projects, but it depends on the specific project requirements (i.e. if you need many i18n languages). I'm not marketing for them by the way, just sharing my knowledge 😂

@ste_bartoletti Nothing in specific I guess... Just that works, has support, I guess the basic fields that are in most of the CMSs now a days Not super expensive

Hey folks, For those using DatoCMS, how’s your experience compared to Sanity? I’ve been a long-time Sanity user, but the plugin ecosystem has been pretty disappointing lately, so I’m starting to look elsewhere. Would love to hear your thoughts.

@ffmfedd @greensock @itsoffbrand 🔥🔥

used @greensock for the longest time. honoured by greensock using me (my slider) for this year's SOTY. go vote 🫂 (cc @itsoffbrand) or go slide some things smooothy.federic.ooo

@mariosmaselli What is the specific functionality that you are looking for?

@mariosmaselli Not fully experienced with Dato, but if you are looking elsewhere in a boarder sense, and you are also interested in other options, I'm quite experienced with Storyblok

@FranciscoHPro 2 Fu 2 Furious

We might be saved after all

"Nuxt Social Share" is strong and healthy 😁 👉 nuxt-social-share.stefanobartoletti.it

@Atinux @nuxt_js I suppose that putting something like that on Nuxt DevTools for modules in the current project is already planned, right? 🥹

What a great project to check the health of @nuxt_js modules! nuxt.care

@hetaridev Locomotive's new version is wrapping Lenis adding functionalities

@ste_bartoletti is there is any difference between the two libs? I always go with lenis

Locomotive wrapping Lenis is the smooth scrolling "Inception" 💚
