Call for Developer Projects (github.com/bluesky-social)
The last few weeks have seen a swell of developer interest in atproto. Welcome! The protocol is maturing, and now is a great time for early adopters to jump in and start building. This post lists some projects which we think would be good fits for the protocol, and could be built by independent teams today. They span the range from helper tools to full applications.

A subtle layout bug in Google Search: When CJK text-wrapping meets float (likang.dev)
Recently, I investigated an interesting layout bug in Google Search’s pagination component. I first noticed it a few months ago but thought it was caused by some Chrome extensions I had installed. Later, I set up a fresh browser profile and reproduced the issue, realizing it was a broader problem.

The tragedy of running an old Node project (abdisalan.com)
It’s been a long while since I wrote anything on this site. The framework I used was Gatsby which in 2020 was one of the hot ways of getting a good looking blog up and running quickly. With over 41 dependencies, and god knows how many more sub-dependencies, this thing was a beast.

A BBC navigation bar component broke depending on the external monitor (joshtumath.uk)
Recently, my team and I fixed an absolutely bizarre bug that only one person in the team could reproduce. And to make it even weirder, she was only able to reproduce the issue when using her work laptop at home; it worked fine with the same laptop in the office.

Impressions of React and TypeScript from an Elixir/Elm Developer (korban.net)
I was recently on a project where I chose to use React and TypeScript as part of the tech stack because of the existing skillset of my team. I myself managed to avoid both React and TypeScript until this year. So when I finally used them on a real project, I was looking at them as an experienced Elm & Elixir developer, coming from small niche ecosystems into the din of the real world.

Ask HN: Best practices using AI as an experienced web dev (ycombinator.com)
As an Old, I came up learning the OG web dev languages - HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, etc. As a solo dev, I still largely work with these as natively as possible. But I am not a total dinosaur. I embraced jQuery in the early 2000's, Bootstrap scaffolding, and now often build reactive UI's using Vue 3.

Show HN: A dynamic C (Hot reloading) module-based Web Framework (github.com/joexbayer)
Welcome to c-web-modules, a modular and efficient approach to web development in C. Inspired by kernel modules and AWS Lambda, this project allows you to upload C code directly to the server, which compiles and deploys it at runtime. No precompilation is necessary, and the server can easily be upgraded to include more features or external libraries.

The myth that you can’t build interactive web apps except as single page app (htmx.org)
I often encounter discussions on Reddit and YCombinator where newer developers seek tech stack advice. Inevitably, someone claims it’s impossible to build a high-quality application without using a single-page application (SPA) framework like React or AngularJS. This strikes me as odd because, even before the SPA revolution, many popular multi-page web applications offered excellent user experiences.
