After some @11ty.dev housekeeping yesterday I’ve crossed paths with folks on the @e18e.dev team and just wanted to say they are doing very good work!

regarding your moderately successful open source project: congratulations and I’m so sorry

Just encountered a *wild* JavaScript bug.

App code:
let myDate = DateTime.now();

Library code:
`myDate instanceof DateTime` was false, why??

First thought: multiple different versions of `DateTime` ("luxon") package installed via npm? Nope.

Actual culprit:

App code:
const { DateTime } = require("luxon");

Library code:
import { DateTime } from "luxon";

Luxon exports different versions of DateTime for CommonJS and ESM 😭 I may never trust `instanceof` again 😬 Best friend .contructor.name now

I’ve been playing around with extracting colors from favicon images as a shorthand for the theme colors of a website — can y’all think of a better or easier way? Something to do with using a site’s CSS directly?

does anyone else feel like feature testing as a front-end practice went out of style? (wrongly so — it’s still super valuable!)

I know it’s Next.js but is it using that part where you put SQL in your frontend code? 😅

whoever decided that using `import.meta` out-of-pocket should throw a SyntaxError (meaning you can’t really feature test for it in code) made a choice that I do not agree with

First looks: <is-land> v5.0.0 Beta 2

Broadened browser support
Passive event listeners
Rename attribute prefixes
New Import Maps examples
Supports: Petite Vue, Vue, Svelte, Solid, Lit, Preact, and Alpine.js

Release is-land v5.0.0-beta.2 · 11ty/is-land
Compressed file size: v4.0.0 at 1.61 kB to v5.0.0 at 1.79 kB Broadens browser support (thank you @vanarok in #21) and adds (cut the mustard-style) feature test: v5.0.0 supports Chrome 54, Firefox ...

TIL you can feature test Import Maps support using `HTMLScriptElement.supports("importmap")`

Looks like using Svelte via import maps got a lot more gnarly between v4 and v5, unfortunately.

The thing you need to know about me is that I’m not above forking an old package just to update its dependencies: https://github.com/zachleat/get-pixels

Best of luck to JSX — of whom I do not predict will have the same success 😅

With type stripping in Node.js and `--erasableSyntaxOnly` in the TypeScript compiler — in my curmudgeonly luddite brain this has *finally* elevated TypeScript as-a-project beyond a minimal tier of long-term stability in the JS ecosystem.

Glad to see it make it over the hump.
