well… we’ve crossed $90K USD and I’m starting to sweat a little bit

In reply to Mastodon post

I should have said that I will shave it off if we don’t hit $100K

if we make it to $100K before the campaign ends today I will shave my beard off on a livestream https://build.awesome.me/

Whoa.

Only 179 million milliseconds left to lock in early pricing of Build Awesome Pro: starting at $29 for a *year*. And you get to keep that price when renewing too!

Batched Incremental Builds™ — coming soon.

everything is fine.

a little cheeky metric that shows how long a person worked on something before I look at it

Coming soon to an alpha release (v4.0.0-alpha.8) near you: More efficient incremental builds when the build queue has multiple changes waiting.

Friendlier to Save All from your editor or switching git branches with lots of file changes.

> Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): Layout shifts caused by ads, images without dimensions, or injected content can move elements between the time an agent identifies them and the time it attempts an interaction.

are we really doing “Agent pls click at 50x,50y”

TIL Lighthouse is adding an Agentic Browsing metric:

https://developer.chrome.com/docs/lighthouse/agentic-browsing/scoring

That CLS is listed as a sub-metric seems like a big ol’ code smell to me (and reveals some brittle implementation?): are agents relying on element dimensions?

is there a razzie award for web sites

Updated my security checklist with a few additions from yesterday’s Tanstack compromise: https://www.zachleat.com/web/npm-security/#may-2026-additions

inb4 prediction markets add bets for npm package compromises

In reply to Mastodon post

Importantly, `pull_request_target` IGNORES this GitHub security setting: https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/enabling-features-for-your-repository/managing-github-actions-settings-for-a-repository#controlling-changes-from-forks-to-workflows-in-public-repositories

This was very surprising to me.

In reply to Mastodon post

A follow up here on action items (assuming you’re already using trusted publishers OIDC to scope releases to a single GitHub Action workflow):

1. Look for any `pull_request_target` GitHub Actions workflows! (this allows external forks/code to run your actions with write access ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️)
2. Look for use of `cache` in your GitHub Actions release workflow (cache was poisoned/compromised by `pull_request_target` trigger)

Learn more about `pull_request_target`: https://securitylab.github.com/resources/github-actions-preventing-pwn-requests/

Look, stuff is a little hectic right now…

Going to be SUPER CASUALLY hanging out here live in a few, discussing Build Awesome (11ty) Pro and the Kickstarter campaign.

Come hang out! AMA (sure — anything, what could go wrong?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkwOTAAJ3gs

It’s day two of our Kickstarter campaign to help lower the bar for anyone to publish and maintain a web site!

Learn how you can help: https://www.11ty.dev/blog/build-awesome-pro/

Tomorrow we’ll have a super casual AMA about Build Awesome (11ty), Build Awesome Pro, the Kickstarter, and our vision for the future of publishing and collaboration on the web.

Maybe show me your web site. Ask general questions about web development? Look, I don’t want to get too prescriptive here 😅

@matthiasott Sorry to keep bothering you but I’m using your web site to test a thing and saw that https://www.xing.com/profile/matthiasott was a broken link!

@matthiasott I happened to notice https://matthiasott.com/uses that you use a Sony ZV-E10 with a Elgato Cam Link 4K on an Apple Silicon MacBook! I just recently got the Cam Link and am seeing the aspect ratio of the video coming out of the same camera as 4:3 (instead of 16:9) in https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaDevices/getUserMedia and in Slack. You wouldn’t happen to have solved that problem? 😅 if not, please ignore me!
