👋 Hi there! I post about

✅ making progress (and bugs 🐛) with my projects, like my app for animal shelters petprofiletailor.vercel.app

✅ 100daysofcode (ex: anki flashcards & chatting about my addiction to codewars coding problems 🤓)

And most importantly, I have a cute cat named ember 😉

Yep, gotta love that freebie existential dread gift! So thoughtful of the universe

unfortunately no matter how I changed the tail around it kept looking too phallic if you squint 😂

so gave up on that dream, would of been cool though since we're sending them "homeward" and a "tail" pointing home would of been perfect! It even would of looked like an arrow!

🍀more names, condensed and edited tags
🍀fixed swr bug, the page params wasn't getting read correctly, so an easy fix
🍀 added the logo as a favicon and to the navbar!
- for the logo, hoped I'd be able to make it reflect the name more but alas, no luck

you see the roof of a house and a dogs yellow tail in the middle of it

🍀hung out with my nephew & his 2 year old, added some names to homeward tails
🍀While fixing the "content flashing left" bug i got this amusing image of our pirate friend
- solution: wrap in a div w/ set h & w
🍀Ui edits
🍀adding aria-label & sr only spans

Basically saying Image's internal span makes the size recalculate, so everything shifts to the left temporarily

wrapped it in a div with a set width and height

showing small ui edits, adding spacing, shrinking buttons ect

now is a really excellent time to set up a monthly Wikipedia donation if you don’t have one already

Anil Dash @anildash.com · 3d

This is horrifying, but I’m glad the Wikipedians are safe. It could have been far worse, given that the MAGA fascists have been trying to incite violence against Wikipedia editors, and trumpists are defenders of pedophiles like the gunman. gothamist.com/news/gunman-...

The unidentified man was taken to a hospital for evaluation.

🍀 added more names
🍀 adjusting the tags still. Since the main user is shelter professionals, I'm trying to only create subcategories if theres enough names to make sense
- ex: originally had fall and thanksgiving separate, but theres so much overlap, it was better to merge

Since the registration flow was working I had to add more work for myself lol
🍀 magiclink shows the email entered, so the user can check for typos
🍀 added recaptcha v3 with v2 as a backup if theres no token for v3 (because the user didn't interact enough)

showing the magic link page, with the email entered showing on the page

- turned out it was my hidden checkbox (since I had a stylized paw icon to act as the checkbox)
- but then that solution lead to double vertical scrollbars, so I found out another alternative
- then had to fix some other styling things that those changes affected

- Ended up having to find out how to debug mobile by connecting my phone to my comp
developer.chrome.com...
- found out the white space wasn't a clickable element
- so started deleting elements to see what part of the form was breaking it

250 #100daysofcode Finally in the "final" testing stages for homeward tails!
🍀 Fixed mobile issues:
🟢 dialogs not resizing correctly on mobile
🟢 fixed a weird phantom whitespace issue that was a spicy bug to fix

the bug in question, ghost space under the footer

What overscroll-behavior-y: contain actually does

Normally, on mobile browsers (especially Chrome and Safari):

When you focus a form input (even a hidden one), the browser tries to scroll it into view.

If that input is near the bottom of a scrollable page, Chrome will expand the scrollable area or “bounce” the page.

With multiple hidden inputs, focusing one after another can make this behavior repeat, leaving extra space under the footer.

overscroll-behavior is a CSS property designed to control how scroll overflow is handled.

// Don't use sr-only here — Chrome mobile scroll bug
// Instead, physically remove from layout but keep focusable and accessible
// but "peer absolute left-[-9999px] top-auto w-px h-px overflow-hidden" was leading to double vertical scrollbars

// solution: "peer absolute m-0 h-[1px] w-[1px] overflow-hidden whitespace-nowrap border-0 p-0"
// clip + clip-path combo makes it truly invisible.
// This is the same underlying technique used by modern screen-reader-only utilities like sr-only, but avoids the position: absolute; left: 0 that can misbehave in specific mobile browsers

className="peer absolute m-0 h-[1px] w-[1px] overflow-hidden whitespace-nowrap border-0 p-0"
style={{ clip: "rect(0 0 0 0)", clipPath: "inset(50%)" }}

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Week 2 of my little CSS Battle spin-off
Last week, I kicked off spooky season with a jack-o'-lantern

I’ve been taking things I come across day-to-day and seeing if I can recreate them CSS Battle style. Just a fun little creative loop I’ve fallen into
