  Monday after work ride with 🧡. (featuring a tiny friend who liked my bike 🐤)

  A random view from today’s bike ride. The piece on the underpass wall says “Girls are awesome” ❤️

  On a bit of a summer break from work and this is what I’m doing instead: *nerding out about these matching red disc brake lockrings that I just installed on my bike* 🤓

  Got completely soaked on this ride. Literally had to stop and pour water out of my shoes a couple of times 🌊

  Sold our car and somehow made profit doing that, at least compared to what I originally paid for it 🤷🚴🏻‍♀️

  One of (OVHCloud’s) network links in Stockholm has decided to stop carrying packets over 1480 bytes overnight for an unknown reason & also blocks the error that would normally tell a device to send smaller ones 🙃 So a bunch of websites have just been dead for me since yesterday (Bluesky, Mastodon…)

  Gathering parts for a new Raspberry Pi side project. The rest is still in transit 🤓

• View post

  Anxiously waiting for a new bike frame to arrive today (yeah… yet another side project 🤷🏻‍♀️)

• View post

  A new friend for the old bike just arrived (…well, a part of it, anyway…)

• View post

  Current status: fixing yet another bicycle (to sell it) 🤷🏻‍♀️ *I think the kids are getting slightly annoyed that I’ve turned our living room into a bike shop, basically*

  Evenings like this 🧡

  In the other news got myself a new road bike today. The old bike served a good 12.000 km, but it now needs so many new parts that my plan is to fix the bare minimum to get it to a working state again and then try selling 🥹

  Working with these internet speeds over the past weeks have made me focus on improving the performance of everything I’ve touched at work. Also, reminded me of something that I wrote in April 11 years ago which somehow feels even more relevant in 2026: https://arielsalminen.com/2015/the-many-faces-of-the-web/

  This is where I feel like being neurodivergent becomes a genuine superpower. Spotting patterns and creating structure across massive datasets. 🤓

  Letting that @DavidDarnes get an early sneak peek of this thingy made me realize it needs proper docs website, even if I tried to resist it and dump it all onto .md files on GitHub. So yeah, here we are…

  Built a Node.js + @11ty based analytics dashboard for the client’s design system today to track the adoption rate across production apps. Turned out to be useful already since we had no idea of some of the products already using the design system and/or still on pre-release versions. 😅

  Happy to see the first community contribution (for docs!) land Elena and me not being the only person on the “contributors” list 🥹 https://github.com/getelena/elena

  Just published a new version of Elena, v1.0.0-rc.8, which adds performance improvements while making the minified bundle size ~12% smaller: https://github.com/getelena/elena/releases/tag/%40elenajs%2Fcore%401.0.0-rc.8

  I’ve written a new documentation page on “Rendering” and what Elena does behind the scenes because it’s probably a lot smarter than you’d expect from a tiny library: https://elenajs.com/components/rendering

  Got some great news this week and looks like I’m all booked until early 2027 for client work. *needs to update the availability on the website*

• View post

  It seems like all the random projects I ever build are born out of frustration. Elena started ~5 months ago because I wasn’t being taken seriously (probably since I am not a white male in this industry 🤷🏻‍♀️)

  Just received two of these t-shirts in mail. 😍 https://shop.joinmastodon.org/products/mastodon-i-write-alt-text-unisex-t-shirt-copy

  It’s going well when you haven’t slept in two nights and have been crying your eyes out during the following days. I’m such an emotional wreck this week 😭

  This week is turning better when I least expect it. 🧡

  Did some major performance improvements and bug fixes for Elena last week. Technically we’re now at v1.0.0-rc.12 already, but this was the most significant set of changes: https://github.com/getelena/elena/releases/tag/%40elenajs%2Fcore%401.0.0-rc.11 We’re getting close to stable v1.0.0 soon. ☺️

  I also improved the Elena Playground and made it support external stylesheets and CSS Module Scripts which deserved a live example as well: https://elenajs.com/playground/#css-module-scripts (and yeah, as the example suggests, https://design-system.club is built with Elena now 🧡)

  I’m excited to announce the 1̶s̶t̶ 7th release candidate of Elena today! 🫶 Elena is a simple, tiny library for building Progressive Web Components. Unlike most web component libraries, Elena doesn’t force JavaScript for everything. Crafted with love and care using HTML, CSS & plain JS: https://elenajs.com

  Had fun this morning building this thing:
