@t3dotgg Complexity is a main enemy and threat.

@adamwathan Sorry the opposite way around I mean!

@adamwathan The activity card design on parksports.co.uk/venues/hyde-pa… shows the description unless we detect `any-pointer:coarse`, in which case we switch to use a hover reveal transition. Not something we do often though… better to design without the need for it really.

Very surprised by how little use I can find of the `hover` and `pointer` media query features in the wild! Where are you using them in your projects?

@adamwathan “any-pointer: coarse” imo is the lesser of the evils here. I have it in my tw config boilerplate here: #L18" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">github.com/cld-agency/cra…

Anyone have strong feelings on using `(hover: hover)` vs. `(any-hover: hover)` when deciding whether to show hover styles? My gut is that with the proliferation of touch devices, you need to design without relying on hover for anything anyways, right? So no hover styles for an iPad user with a trackpad connected seems less bad to me than annoying sticky hover styles for the same person when they use the touchscreen. No way to magically do the right thing in both scenarios unfortunately without JS and trying to pick the right default for Tailwind CSS v4 🤔 Either way you'll be able to use both approaches, like `hover:bg-black` and `hover/any:bg-black`.

@SaraSoueidan Yes, so annoying. I use “Stay” app to workaround this, and have a keyboard shortcut set to put everything back in its place, have to do it almost every wake from sleep.

The only macOS “feature” I want is for it to remember my display arrangement. I switch between 2 & 3 displays depending on the work I’m doin. Every time I switch it reverts back to the default arrangement. I use the same arrangement all the time. I just wish it would remember it.

@schlessera @rfhow Biggest factor for me would be lack of proper content modelling and everything that flows from that. More detail: cld.agency/blog/content-u…

Asking for an #enterprise friend: 😅 If you need to work on a complex, long-term web project, what is the _biggest_ factor why you would NOT consider #WordPress as the best solution? Please RT for each! #corporate #web

@johnwbaxter @JayBox325 Everything from scrolling a document up and down to moving windows and your mouse cursor around is noticeably smoother. It’s weird that marketers only seem to target gamers with the high refresh rate benefits

@_jamessmith @JayBox325 Oh interesting ok, i didn't think it'd really matter for what we do on computers!

If you are running a single monitor setup, what size is your single screen? Not resolution, just the screen size please!

@johnwbaxter @JayBox325 new MBP has 120Hz refresh rate and I can really feel the difference compared to my 60Hz LGs (realistically I'd still be limited to 120Hz I think, and would need to plug in with DisplayPort to USB-C which is annoying).

@_jamessmith @JayBox325 Why 144hz? I just found multiple screens distracting i think

@johnwbaxter @JayBox325 I had 2 x 27” 4k (plus 14” mbp) until last week when one literally blew up. Working on 1.5 screens again feels like losing an eye 😤 Looking to upgrade to 144hz but same size.

@JayBox325 Yep, workspaces makes the most sense

@brianleroux @barneycarroll Was thinking the same thing about “MPA”…

🌶️🌶️🌶️ Calling rendering HTML "SSR" is cringe.

@masuga I installed an app called Stay - cordlessdog.com/stay/ - it seems very old and clunky, and takes a good 5-10 seconds after wake to do its thing (putting back all windows into their previously saved positions and sizes), but so far it's an ok solution.

@masuga This is slowly draining my will to live. Let me know if you ever discover any workarounds!

@housecor Issue is devs are using these heavy SPA frameworks for non application things (like simple marketing websites). So in that context, it matters a lot.

@masuga Yup still me too

I'm not seeing enough web design that adapt to the content. The thinking is more often that the content needs to slot into a prescribed template, not that the design should reflect and adapt to the available content. Have you seen good examples of content responsive design?

@masuga I have the same problem on my (non-M1) MBP, and it got noticeably worse after Monterey. I don't use Adobe products anymore, so it's not that. Waking from Sleep is generally a hit and miss affair, often forgetting my Logitech mouse settings too, and flickering on/off several times

It's been a really long time since I wrote a blog post... Good to get this out, hopefully it helps someone: cld.agency/blog/multi-fac… #craftcms #twig

@SaraSoueidan I had to replace my old Mackie CR4s (don't recommend as they basically melted, with many similar stories on Amazon). I ended up choosing the Kanto YU4. Very pleased so far, especially with custom EQ-ing via @BoomApp for my scooped-mids taste and compensate for desk resonance.

Oh: bonus points for a pair that has a clean, minimal look that could fit well into a minimal setup ☺️

For the first time, I'm considering buying a pair of good speakers for my desk. But I'm clueless and don't know where to start. Hence, this tweet. ☺️ Fellow geeks: you got recommendations for a pair that works well with an Apple setup but that isn't limited to Apple apps?

@kilianvalkhof @adamwathan Agreed. This is why I use my own base css that ensures all elements are styled by default, just as you would in a non-tailwind project. Then add Tailwind utilities on top (with Twig for componentisation).

@adamwathan Most systems have some componentization of course, but mostly for more complex ‘components’. Tailwind encourages you to use components even for the ‘small’ parts thst would normally be plain HTML, and that requires a shift in thinking and setup.

“Tailwind is only maintainable if you’re using components.” I see this a lot and it confuses me — if you’re building a site and you have no way to reuse a chunk of HTML without copying and pasting it then it sounds you have much bigger problems to solve?
