It’s like walking into your favourite restaurant, handing the chef a can of ravioli, and asking them to please put it on a plate. Maybe warm it up a little!
What really concerns me is the obvious assumption that such a sketch is the final product. That because something renders in a browser, it must be ready for production. That ”design” and ”code” are solved problems that any layman can do now, and the rest is implementation you can do with an iframe.
A “final HTML script our colleagues have developed – put it in an iframe maybe?“ That thing is full of security, performance, and privacy issues, >2500 lines of unfinished code, inlined CSS & JavaScript, not accessible, of course. But to the client, it looks fine. They don’t see the difference.
Honestly, as a professional who has spent their entire career working on the web, honing their skills, learning design, coding, best practices, and the intricacies of the web platform, it kind of sucks to get sent a Claude Design prototype by a client with the ask to implement it right away.

I find it such a weird meme that RSS/Atom is dead. Literally every blogging platform has RSS/Atom support. Not just the "indie" ones, even the big corporate ones, like Substack and Medium. Every mastodon account has a built-in RSS feed. Every Bluesky account has a built-in RSS feed. Almost every major news site has an RSS or Atom feed. WordPress automatically produces RSS feeds (and WordPress powers almost half the Web).

RSS and Atom are almost certainly even more ubiquitous than they were in the 2000s, if only because the web has gotten so much bigger than it was back then.

There are more podcasts now than there ever have been, and each of these has an RSS feed.

Every fucking YouTube channel has an RSS feed. In 2005 there were probably fewer than 20 million blogs. Right now there are more than a hundred million YouTube channels.

RSS/Atom is bigger than ever.

I'm revisiting an old navigation idea with an equalizer animation. It's more than 15 years old and was originally implemented using jQuery and jQuery Easie.

Does anyone have an idea how to create this effect with CSS only? Is it possible at all? I've been trying to wrap my head around the CSS animation docs but they are not intuitive to me at all. How do you even chain animation without loosing state?

That three main German political parties only manage to leave Twitter, once they manage to coordinate the exit is quite interesting. I think it really shows how much some organisations and political figures are trapped in such networks because of network effects. As long as other meaningful parties or politicians are still around, it's hard to be the first. We need more such group efforts.
