Last week, we launched a redesigned for Flare, our Laravel error tracker.

I contributed to the app UI, but most of the work was done by Digital With You, who provided us with the design, and the team that implemented it: Alex, Freek, Rias, Ruben, and Sam.

Check it out for yourself! Or read our launch post for all the nitty gritty details.

Standards are useful, but after a while they represent the beliefs of the past, not the needs of the future.

A good quote from Mathias Verraes on standards.

Thanks to my colleague Sam I recently learned about the form attribute on the <button> element.

By setting a form attribute, the button becomes a submit button for a form on the page with that ID, without having to nest the button on the page.

This could be useful for a logout link, used on different places.

<nav>
<!-- … -->
<button type="submit" form="logout">
Log out
</button>
</nav>
<footer>
<!-- … -->
<button type="submit" form="logout">
Log out
</button>
</footer>
<form id="logout" method="POST" action="/logout">
</form>

If you’re going to read one thing today, make it this. So much good stuff in here I could quote just any paragraph.

Rich Harris & the rest of the Svelte team have previously mentioned that they use TypeScript with JSDoc instead of .ts files. That gives TypeScript’s safety benefits during development and on CI, without an additional build step.

There are a few nuances to this, Pascal Schilp did a great job reviewing the background and benefits behind this decision.
