Possumbot now has the responsibility of letting Discord folks know about GitHub releases.

Really great to see `docusaurus` picking up some @11ty.dev deps: github.com/facebook/doc...

Well, @npmx.dev seems to be happy with our v4 canaries so far!

Build Awesome and Eleventy v4.0.0-alpha.8 are now available for testing!

Upcoming npm v12 will disable preinstall, install, and postinstall scripts from dependencies unless allow-listed.

You can prepare for this change using npm v11 now: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/198547

Does anyone know more detail about how this was leaked, technically? Looks like the site was using Next.js and some static HTML was embedded in a static JavaScript bundle — another sourceMap leak?

SCOOP: So remember Dialog, Peter Thiel's private society that doesn't have a public website and no public list of members?

I (along with a number of other journalists) have just been tipped off that embedded in the code of their closed off website there IS what seems to be a list of some members.

@11ty/eleventy-dev-server@3.0.0-alpha.10

A minimal, modern, generic, hot-reloading local web server to help web developers.

feeling a certain way after seeing @dr-axel.de cited in a package.json docs search query after they took their website down citing “AI companies stealing my work” — seems like they should be compensated for this by the search engine company, no?

The newest version of my preferred test runner requires Node 22+ and my package supports Node 18+.

Do I leave it on an old/outdated/insecure version of the test runner? Do I upgrade and stop testing on Node 18 and 20? Do I need to ship a breaking change to bump my package’s Node minimum? Or do I burn the whole suite down and use Node’s built-in test runner?

Breaking changes for devDeps 😭

What would you do?

Batched Incremental Builds™ — coming soon.

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.

everything is fine.

I will reduce cumulative layout shift but only if they have the prefers-reduce-motion preference enabled — everyone else gets extra layout shift

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

> 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?

A step in the right direction! For most folks: just publish locally (with 2FA) — CI publish is the attack vector typically exploited!

Heads up maintainers of packages, this is a big deal:

You should learn HTML and code your own website.

to be clear: websites are rad — apps are ritualistic sacrifices made to further the endless and insatiable desires of the centralization of capital

I’m sorry but “everyone is going to use AI to code their own apps” sounds like “everyone is going to learn HTML and code their own websites.“ like … have you met people? no they’re not
