2025, the year of the agent. Thought I'd jump in and learn how it's done with Eliza. Really interesting stuff with mind boggling possibilities.

@GummithaJayanth @shadcn @rodrigoehlers @adamwathan Never ask devs this. You'll either get ignored or a wrong answer :)

@shadcn @rodrigoehlers @adamwathan @shadcn when we can except the shadcn ui compatibility with tailwind css v4 ?

✨ Tailwind CSS v4.0 is here! Huge performance improvements, radically simplified setup experience, CSS-first configuration, modernized P3 color palette, container queries, 3D transforms, expanded gradient APIs, @​starting-style support… …and tons, tons more.

@simonswiss Ah sorry to hear that - I can understand how that'd make you feel. Hope you know there's many many people that appreciated your work and now that you've got a new soapbox, you'll continue to inspire and teach many more 🤗

Only part I'm bummed about with Tailwind CSS v4 is my face is no longer there with the "Screencasts" page 😢 Actually, I believe there are no mentions of the Labs YouTube channel anywhere. I guess this is setting the stage for an "official course", as teased in the Hackers Inc. podcast 🤷

@simonswiss @laracasts Perfect next move for you Simon - huge congrats

📣 I got news 👀 In February 2025, I am joining @laracasts as a full-time instructor 🎉 I'll be teaching you Tailwind, React, frontend stuff and probably a lot more. Going back to my true calling — creating high quality developer screencasts 5 days a week ❤️

@getunleash I just released a new command line tool for Unleash that uses your API, let me know what you think github.com/ben-rogerson/r…

@gimli_app You've almost fixed it - couple things still there. I still see a canonical that'll mess with your rankings and incorrect og sharing meta. ``` <link href="astrowind.vercel.app" rel="canonical"/> <meta content="astrowind.vercel.app" property="og:url"/> ```

@benrogerson Oops, thanks for letting me know!

@gimli_app Your website still has the default AstroWind template title and meta 😅

@tannerlinsley Congrats Tanner!

React Static is reborn!!!!!

@_douges @reactjs @trytriplex LGTM - ship it!

Here's what the minimal API looks like for my end-to-end typesafe websocket server with @reactjs hooks used in @trytriplex. Would this be useful in your project?

@_douges @rossipedia ooo, I like the look of this - will give it a try 🤘

@rossipedia Just use github.com/pmndrs/suspend…

@heyImMapleLeaf Yup well said, good riddance!

@gill_kyle thanks Kyle, glad you like the look of the docs! I had a bit of fun drawing the characters. On some recent projects I found that observing element sizes in css is easy with container queries but harder in React - hopefully mezz can help fill that void.

@benrogerson Woah! Very nice docs, and looks super handy!

Ever needed to observe and respond to the size of an element in React, just like css container queries? 🤔 Mezz can help you out! 💪 Type-safe breakpoint auto-completions ✨ Uses the modern ResizeObserver browser API ⚡️ Customizable breakpoint naming mezz.benrogerson.dev

@branmcconnell I like this idea as it's kinda messy having to resort to my own classes to target some children. I like that you included modifier support too. Complexity-wise - I don't see this adding too much to learn, its similar to how `peer` or `group` works.

Here's that GitHub link: github.com/brandonmcconne… Examples below in this thread 👇🏼

Mixins for Tailwind CSS 🧪⚡️ Write classes once. Use them everywhere. tailwindcss-mixins provides a declarative API for creating reusable groups of utilities, reducing code duplication, and improving maintainability. — Check it out on GitHub 👇🏼

@simonswiss love german shepherds and that view is amazing. I'd be looking for the mountain bike trails if I were there!

Made a German friend up the PC Hill 🤗 Also how absurdly stunning is this scenery?

@brad_frost Agreed - with the icons, i'm working on a tool that'll take care of minifying and aligning iconsets. It's early days but I've been using it for my projects and it's been a real timesaver iconish.benrogerson.dev

Buttons and icons: seemingly tiny simple things that can end up being enormously complex.

@SandroMaglione @nextjs @tailwindcss @storybookjs @shadcn This is bang-on target as my current chosen stack too. Is nice.

The ecosystem for web apps in 2024 is 💯 Just created a new project ✅ @nextjs ✅ @tailwindcss (v4) ✅ @storybookjs ✅ shadcn-ui @shadcn All working together, minimal config, full control 🚀

@mattpocockuk Never! I'd rather cast as unknown or pop a ts ignore in there instead.

This is maybe the most important question for a TS developer: At what point do you give up trying to fix a type error and resort to 'as any'?

@brad_frost Notion's been working well for me - obsidian was light but I wanted some extra features and to keep it all synced in the same app.

What to-do tools are people using these days?

3.4.0 just dropped, including SolidJS and styled-components@v6 support github.com/ben-rogerson/t… @solid_js
