I just created an RSS feed of my /now page! I haven't been very active in my blog, but I've kept updating this, so subscribe if you want see what I'm up to! https://noeldemartin.com/now/rss.xml
If you're interested in the full recount of my experience going through the course, you can read it in my website: https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/learning-css
I finally completed Josh W Comeau's course, and I have to say it's the most comprehensive course I've ever seen. It should be required material for anyone working with CSS (I'm not kidding).
And to top it off, it's super fun!

Reminder that next month I'll be attending the 2nd #SolidSymposium in Belgium. And I can now confirm that I'll be giving not one, but two talks! One about Developer Experience, and another one about Local-first CRDTs.
The registrations are open, I'm looking forward to meet you there :).
robustly-secured data that can surprisingly vanish at a moments notice
I just posted an update about the work I'm doing on my framework to make Solid Apps, Aerogel.
I recently started rebuilding my first Solid App, and I tell you how that's going and my typical development workflow. check it out!
In a couple of months, I'll be attending the 2nd Solid Symposium in Leuven, Belgium. I missed it last year, but I'm looking forward to attending this one! I'll also participate in a session on CRDTs (and maybe one on DX), it should be fun :D.
I realize I didn't post it before; here you can find some of the talks I'll be attending and what else I'll be doing at #fosdem https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/attending-fosdem-2024
> Every interoperable app becomes a super-app.
What does it mean to own your data? Can you have it and still not have it?
I'll be attending FOSDEM in a couple of weeks, let me know if you're around in Brussels and want to meet :).
In this talk, @aveltens nails THE most important point of Solid. We don't need a killer app, we need an ecosystem of apps that work together!
Owning your data is cool and all, but these experiences show the true power of Solid.
One of the best things you can do to improve the stability of your apps is writing tests, and Cypress is the best tool for the job!
To help you with that, I just released a plugin that makes testing Solid Apps super easy. I hope you find it useful :).
I just finished migrating my first Solid App to the framework I'm working on, AerogelJS!
If you're curious to see how you build an app with the framework, check out the source code.
Is it easy to understand? Let me know what you think I could improve!
Today I published a blog post talking about what my ideal world of software looks like. I call it Skeuomorphic Software, check it out!
I recommended this CSS course last year, and now it's 50% off! https://css-for-js.dev/
There's so much content that after a year of starting it I'm still not done :O (I dedicate 1 hour/week). And I still enjoy it like the first day.

> Even when you #OwnYourData 100%, many might find little agency in being able to 'edit properties on JSON objects'. What level of handedness would be meaningful to them?

If you're curious about the different approaches to make Solid Apps, @megoth just launched a website comparing some of them. It's also a great resource if you know nothing about Solid and want to learn some basics :). Check it out!
