@davatron5000 @chriscoyier Enjoying today’s episode 👍

BTW, you weren’t too far off with Laravel. Forge is their bring-your-own-backend (i.e. AWS). They’re about to launch their own hosting platform too… https://cloud.laravel.com

@davatron5000 I enjoyed reading “My little games workshop”. I’ve been tinkering with game dev this year and hope to build a full (small) game next year.

I get sticking with web tech for using existing skills. Have you looked at Godot? I’ve been using that as I wanted something approachable that was able to export an installable game. Their built in script language is very Python-esque and you can build 2D and 3D games in the engine. Plus open source which is nice.

@alexstandiford I just use CSS and custom properties these days. CSS frameworks just tend to get in the way I think.

I still use SASS just to get nice nesting capabilities. Everything else is just modern CSS.

@davatron5000 @shoptalkshow yeah I’ve actually played with that in the browser before. It was a nice tutorial.

Thanks for the advice! Looking forward to getting stuck in!

Surely it’s time for another web components framework / ecosystem episode right? 😜

@davatron5000 I enjoyed today’s @shoptalkshow on web components. Made me want to properly dive in - I’ve been meaning to for a long time.

Gotta ask though… Lit, Stencil, Fast?! 🤣

Lit looks like it’s got nice DX, but it feels kinda weird to have to load a library to make them work. That’s why I’m leaning towards Stencil which I believe compiles to plain web components, but nobody talks about it.
