- css
Select a previous sibling
Let's say we have this markup:
- swiftui
Change the navigation bar font
I wanted to set a SwiftUI iOS app in SF Rounded. It's a system font, so I thought it'd be pretty easy. On the web, it would take like two lines of CSS.
- go
Represent a sum type
Let's say we have two structs in Go:
- caddy
Run an HTTPS reverse proxy for local development
Really the title should be something like "run an SSL-terminating reverse proxy", but most of the resources on the subject talk about using "HTTPS for local development", so here we are.
- git

Create a file without an extension
I was trying to save a file without an extension from Notepad. For some reason, even if I removed the extension from the filename and selected "All files", it still saved as a
.txt. - git
Add a global .gitignore
If you use git on a Mac, chances are you've accidentally committed a
.DS_Storeto a repo. I used to reflexively add.DS_Storeto all my.gitignorefiles to avoid ever repeating that mistake. - valibot
Parse a Date or string into a Date

(Intentionally or unintentionally, this is the "parse, don't validate" pattern, coined by Alexis King in her excellent blog post of the same name.)
- fzf

- typescript
Add custom element to JSX.IntrinsicElements
As of version 19, React supports custom elements!
