Year Review 2025

Another year on the World Wide Web. Let’s summarise what I vibe did.

PFD

Nothing notable this year but rather 50+ tiny tweaks, including:

  • PF logo refactored 50% smaller via path use for the drop shadow.
  • Homepage grid given a forgotten about refactor via display: contents instead of nested grids.

Projects

You are never bored with web projects. The web keeps adding features and I keep finding places they could work.

  • Brush Swap date calculations refactored from Day.js to native Temporal dates! Toothpaste swoops details created via the new CSS shape() property and the paste stripes used the new CSS @function to multiply margin variables.
  • Elitricity moved away from CSS grid, to use text-wrap: balance instead for its nice centering. Grid carbon intensity data now fetched async, with an AbortController so it can timeout.
  • Hnue was almost completely refactored to be more concise.

So that was my 2025! Thanks for reading.
