Followup: great conversations today in #FrontEnd Study Hall - rough notes and many links shared in the etherpad today. Thanks @ross especially for sharing a chunk of code that carried us conversationally many places! Thanks all who joined! https://indieweb.org/events/2025-03-27-front-end-study-hall #IndieWeb
A curse upon "developers" who reïmplement things that already exist in #HTML!
Especially since they often reïmplement them *poorly*. Today's example: a substitute for <textarea> made with a <div role="textbox" contenteditable="true"> (and lots of other attributes), and using a carefully-styled <span> inside to look like a placeholder. 
Don't do that.
Everyone knows `node_modules` is among the heaviest object in the universe 
Don’t accidentally ship parts of it to your users.

Hey real web devs, what's the current thinking on the best way to reference svg? Inline or using img tags? What's the use case for each?
My instinct is to do it inline but this mdn article lays out cases for each method.
#frontend and #fullstack devs: Be optimistic about API calls. Research has shown that as little as 100ms of delay is the time it takes for a user to go from perceiving they did something to perceiving they are waiting on something. And 250ms is enough for them to be upset about it.
I've seen too many instances where the UI doesn't update til the API call returns or a #signalr event comes back. If you can anticipate a response, let the UI assume it will succeed for the best UX that feels "magic"
Why do people default to React and JavaScript for front end and UIs?
As a backend developer whose frontend experience is mostly from using Phoenix and Django, which utilize server-side rendering, I’m wondering why most people choose React and JavaScript as the “default” frontend solution, even for pages and SaaS products that don’t really benefit from any additional client-side interactivity.
Happy Friday! The bi-weekly #frontEnd news is here. The main news is on Typescript, but there is also a good post about relative colours, a relaxing driving game, and more. Happy Reading.
