Responsiveness, ERB and Tailwind - looking for best practices
Very interesting, thank you! I didn't know this variant feature on erb files. It would only work after a request is made (and not if a window is resized for example) but it seems powerful. I'll try it for sure. I have used this browser gem in the past which helped me achieve something similar for specific cases, but this seems cleaner.

Has anyone here benchmarked device_detector VS browser gems
I have not benchmarked them but if you're porting old code to Browser beware that sometimes its predicate methods return true, sometimes false, and, sometimes: nil.

A Developer’s Guide to Implementing a Design System (Part 1)
Of course, we have many different ways of solving this problem. Some of the most common include pre-existing third-party icon libraries (such as Font Awesome), icons bundled into a third-party component library (like the Kendo UI Icons), or a completely custom set of icons designed and maintained by your design team. Obviously, going 100% custom will require more work (on both the design and dev side), but might be worth it to achieve a truly unique look – or if the UI will require icons for uncommon symbols or concepts.

Crafting A Minimalist Portfolio Website with SvelteKit and Pico CSS
The featured GitHub projects are dynamically retrieved through the power of the GitHub GraphQL API. The blog posts are seamlessly pulled in using the Dev.to API. Additionally, Redis is used to cache the GitHub and Dev.to API responses for 1 hour to reduce the number of API calls. Icons are provided by Font Awesome through their kit from the CDN. I've also implemented the new View Transition API feature to enhance the user experience.
