Libraries, packages and assets I build with

Libraries

Motion

Motion

The animation library formerly known as Framer Motion, now framework-agnostic. Hardware-accelerated where the browser allows it, with a spring model that behaves the way you expect.

In use here
Phiki

Phiki

TextMate-grammar syntax highlighting in PHP, so code blocks arrive already highlighted instead of waiting on a client-side pass. Highlights every snippet in the garden.

In use here

PhotoSwipe

The lightbox on the travel albums. Pinch-zoom that behaves like the OS viewer, keyboard and screen-reader support out of the box, and no dependencies.

In use here
Swup

Swup

Page transitions without a framework. Swaps one container, keeps the header and footer alive, and leaves the markup server-rendered. What makes navigating this site feel continuous.

Taxi.js

Taxi.js

Small PJAX router for page transitions without a framework. The closest alternative to Swup, which is what this site uses instead.

Build tooling

In use here

esbuild

Bundles the JavaScript here in about twenty milliseconds. Fast enough that the build stops being a step you think about.

In use here
Kirby

Kirby

File-based CMS with no database. Every page is a folder and a text file, which means the whole site is greppable, diffable and lives in Git. This site runs on it.

In use here

PostCSS

The CSS pipeline on this site: imports, preset-env for the syntax browsers have not caught up to yet, autoprefixer, and cssnano at the end. No framework, just the parts that are needed.

Unlighthouse

Unlighthouse

Runs Lighthouse across every page of a site rather than one at a time, then puts the results in a single sortable report. Finds the page you would never have thought to test.

Utilities

SVGOMG

SVGO in the browser, with a live preview and a slider per optimisation. Paste an icon in, see exactly what each pass removes before you commit to it.

Utopia

Utopia

Generates fluid type and space scales as clamp() values from two breakpoints. Replaces the pile of media queries most type scales end up as.

Icons & assets

In use here
Iconoir

Iconoir

Around 1,400 hand-drawn SVG icons, stroke-only and MIT licensed, with no account and no attribution requirement. The set this site runs on.
