Two dozen projects with 200 MB worth of node_modules? That’s nearly 5 GB of space for...

Displaying the Current Step with CSS Counters
8.7.2020
Say you have five buttons. Each button is a step. If you click on the fourth button, you’re on step 4 of 5, and you want to display that.

Settling down in a Jamstack world
3.7.2020
One of the things I like about Jamstack is that it’s just a philosophy. It’s not particularly prescriptive about how you go about it. To me, the only real requirement is that it’s based on static (CDN-backed) hosting. You can use whatever tooling you like. Those tools, though...
