Today I managed to update my website from nuxt to astro and removed all the old nuxt junk libraries that I never needed.

I setup blog posts as MD files that can be updated and deployed in GitHub directly and hosting on GitHub pages is free which saves me money.

Optimised and cost effective day woohoo!!

Working on a PWA that will allow me to post directly with photos and thoughts to the site too. It's all very exciting!!

A few weeks ago I made this little pomodoro timer for home work and it's helped out a lot with my mental and physical health by making me take breaks and moving rather than sitting at a desk all day.

I have different settings for timers and also a chill out mode that plays a calming gif and lofi tracks. Built with a pi zero and a pirate audio hat and some lines of python. Slow to boot but once running it's great.

I call it the pimodoro

This week I went to Web Day Out hosted by @Clearleft and had a wonderful time. Here is where I got chatting and learnt about mastodon.

My key take away was that CSS is a lot more powerful now than ever so let's find ways to use that more over JavaScript. Also that we should be thinking about what libraries we are installing and if there is another solution.

It was great to talk to more developers and exchange ideas.

Hi everyone 👋

I’m Josh, a web developer based in the UK. I mainly work with modern frontend tools and love building fast, clean websites.

Recently I’ve been working with Astro, SCSS and building a small SaaS analytics project. Also been relearning the power of CSS and how we might not really need as much JS as you might think.

I’ll mostly post about web dev and things I'm learning and my volunteer work with codebar Brighton

Always happy to connect with other devs!
