I like the Caddy web server more and more.

So in a couple of lines in config I added a preload of fonts with early hints support. Unlike Nginx, which can only do this through backend proxying.

For almost 10 years we've been publishing daily web platform news for the Russian-speaking community. I always wanted to do the same in English, and five months ago I finally started. Yesterday I published the 100th news on @webstandards_dev Here’s a little story behind the project. Of course, built with @11ty 😎

A wave of manic energy in December had me put together a long deck called "HarfBuzz at 20! " , celebrating 20 years of HarfBuzz. 🎂

I designed the deck to be presented at the #WebEnginesHackfest later this year. Then reality hit that I cannot present this deck in any sane amount of time.

Inspired by all the great presentations coming out of #FOSDEM today, I decided that instead of tossing the deck out, I just put it out here to be read by the curious. I will present a highly condensed version at the hackfest in June.

Let me know what you think. 🙏

@johannes This demo is not to solve a specific problem, but to demonstrate how to possible hide complex logic in function.

I helped my pal @chriskirknielsen fake a fieldset-legend layout (where the “legend” overlays and clips a containing border).

My technique, plus a few alternatives: https://cloudfour.com/thinks/faking-a-fieldset-legend/
