For the past few months, @pierrecomputer has been working on a brand new primitive, Trees. Just like Diffs, it’s an incredibly fast, modern, and beautiful library for rendering lists of files and folders.

Hey friends—wanted to share something. On Dec 5, I had a massive heart attack that put me in the hospital for two weeks. The first week I was in a medically induced coma in the ICU, frozen Han Solo style to preserve my mind and body. No one knew if I’d still be me when I woke up.

Apple Maps just hits different at this point, especially with this awful new Google Maps color scheme rolling out. Compare place views and directions...

Has anyone built the opposite of code linters? Instead of only telling me all the stuff I did wrong, tell me all the stuff I did right so I'm excited to keep going :D.

Anyone else wishing VS Code went this direction for their Big Sur icon update? Threw it together in Figma over the weekend. Too many apps on white squares now.

After more than 10 years @github, today is my last day as a Hubber. Thankful for all I was able to ship, and even more thankful for an epic decade of design, code, and friends I made along the way. Excited for what comes next!

Moral of the story? Talk to you doctors more, get more tests done, know your family’s medical history, do your physical, ask more questions, and be as safe and healthy as you can. It’s cliche to say, but it could very well save your life. ❤️

Nearly three years of personal open source work and energy has gone into this thing. Words cannot express how happy I am that it’s out. Now, on to v4.1!

Preview of the expanded color system coming to Bootstrap v5! Sass unfortunately makes this a very manual process because we cannot dynamically generate variables (sidenote: no classes planned for all these, just variables).

Hard to believe I've been working on Bootstrap for more than a decade! Still love getting to work on it. Open source can be an intense ride, but 10 years later and through all the ups and downs, it’s still worth it. Thanks for starting it with me, @fat!

🎉🎂 Happy birthday, Bootstrap! Ten years ago today, we shipped the very first version of Bootstrap. What an absolutely incredible ride it’s been. Thanks to all the maintainers, contributors, and everyone who built with Bootstrap along the way. blog.getbootstrap.com/2021/08/19/ten/

First open source release since heart attack! Decided to draw a lot of heart icons for some reason. 😅
