What was the first-ish project you ever built as a dev?

I was feeling nostalgic and recreated my first one: a lotto number generator from 'Python In Easy Steps'. I lost the original script, but I remember how much I enjoyed customizing and expanding it.

Im also loving the 2000s UI

Do you prefer to work at home or in public (coworking space, cafe, library, etc)?

I’ve been looking at SaaS starter kits recently.

Beyond the tech stack, I realized I really value a clear project structure and a UI that’s easy to customize.

If you’ve used a starter kit before, what mattered most to you?

The 2025 State of HTML survey is out

And I love the opening stat β€” Lazy Loading FTW!

Built-in, simple to use, attributes and elements are HTML's super power. And you can see that reflect in other attributes with the largest increase (details/summary, dialog, fetchpriority!)
