Nano Stores finally has a website!
We've seen huge growth thanks to LLMs. Not having a site was embarrassing.

Check out the design: fresh and personal. Too many modern sites look the same. No React. Just Astro.
Thanks to @YodaPunk and @valbelaziorau!

Debugging multi-layer CSS gradients/masks in the DevTools is painful, so I built a tool to help me visualize each layer. It works for CSS art/drawings, too.

My colleague Yuri Mandrikov and I have developed a framework that enforces the design system for AI agents and prevents the slop from leaking into the codebase.

The @evilmartians blog now includes skills for AI agents.
Say you liked the advice in one of our articles and want to apply it to your project. Now you can install the skill from the article and let your AI agent put it into practice.

Nano ID 6.0 is out. We made it 4x faster, and our JS implementation now beats the native C++ crypto.randomUUID().

Orhan Aydoğdu came up with the trick for nope-id and let us port it to Nano ID.

VoidZero is joining Cloudflare.
Our mission stays the same: to make JavaScript developers more productive than ever before. Vite, Vitest, Rolldown, Oxc, and Vite+ remain MIT-licensed. Evan and the VoidZero team will continue leading them.
Cloudflare shares our commitment to open source. Together, we can keep investing in the tooling developers rely on every day, while bringing the Vite ecosystem and Cloudflare’s platform even closer together.

Same schema. Same Worker. Same bundler.
😑 Zod: 26.75 KiB gzipped
🤩 Valibot: 2.72 KiB gzipped
9.8x smaller... on edge runtimes, that's less work on every cold start.
New post on why 👇

The theming you saw in the video is one CSS variable: --theme-hue-override.
Every color token (UI + syntax highlighting) derives from one hue thanks to OKLCH. Change one number, recolor the whole site. Try it live: psd-coder.github.io/astro-pi…
Separate thread on the color math coming!

Let’s talk about designer ↔︎ engineer interactions in Harmonizer
harmonizer.evilmartians.com
Harmonizer is primarily built for designers. But eventually, engineers implement the palette in the project.
There are two main ways to hand off the palette to developers.
Pavel Grinchenko retweeted
A year ago, we created the first color palette with consistent chroma, hue, and contrast: figma.com/community/file/128…
Today, I’m excited to share a WIP of our composer for generating custom palettes tailored to your needs. The release is coming soon.
