We share our summer projects, including babies and GSAP. We figure out that some feature flags in Safari are just a checkbox and loop back to topics from our previous episode. We discuss how to do structured schema data and how Figma enables AI training by default. CSS can put Rob off these days. We re-discuss CH units and steal some buttons.

In this episode we recorded a month ago, we establish that Jay is clearly running this show and Rob just sits there.

It has been a while. When we recorded this episode a while ago after a few drinks, and apparently it took Jay time to recover the edit. But here we are, with more profanity than usual. Sorry, not sorry. Jay spent a lot of money on hardware and a domain. We share what we've been working on, cover a lot of news and vacuum Jay's tiny London apartment.

Three minutes of Indiana Jones chat followed by em's vs ch units—we know how to bring in the New Year! Webkit has introduced alt text for pseudo-elements. The summary/details element may soon be animatable. We record on Blue Monday which cleary increases Rob his grumpiness towards the endless stream of AI content. Jay documents his journey into the world of mechanical keyboards. We debate CSS grid strategy. Sketch/Figma debate. We ponder the maybe little-known art of repeating gradients in CSS.

In our very first Christmas episode, Jay makes fun of Dutch again when English clearly lacks a very important word; Rob shares updates regarding his password manager changes and doesn't like big blobs of light. Tailwind gets :has(), Figma get a cool $1B, and something's up with Chrome dev relations. We chat about the most recent news in CSS, and Jay shares his experiences with GitHub Copilot.

With Jay back in London, we return to remote recording again. We talk about abandoned side projects before Rob finally strikes back regarding pronunciation. We also cover Dutch politics (sorry), trivia, Google’s Topics API, and a lot of CSS news, including scroll snapping v2. Rob shares his experience of moving from 1Password to iCloud Keychain, and to Jay’s delight, Firefox has a Compatibility panel.

Fireworks and popping beers. In this very first in-person recording, Rob gets flagged for proper pronunciation again. Jay has gathered more coffee knowledge.

47:44

Rob is grumpy. In all his excitement about a certain thing being released in stable Chrome, Jay texted him, to which Rob responded in a very lame manner. This must be why Jay keeps giving Rob a hard time on his English pronounciation. There's a actual news this episode as well, and with Jay as our anchorman, we cover it all.

Jay got a new King, and Rob's kids sold stuff on a blanket to celebrate the birthday of his King(?!). We tinker with the idea of "View Transitions", the web's answer to soft-loading content—similar to the behaviour of iOS and Android apps. Is it ready for traditional websites? We weigh up Content Management Systems and close off by discussing if Safari is indeed an Evergreen Browser.
