Last month, I built an AI agent that could search the web before answering a question. While working on the article around that project, I got another project idea and that was around the visibility of a website in the world of AI-powered search.

I was watching this video from the Google IO on all the new web UI features that are coming to the web platform and I was blown away by how many of these features are already available in modern browsers.

Large language models (LLMs) are great at answering questions, but they have an important limitation: they don’t inherently have access to what’s happening on the web right now.

MCP (Model Context Protocol). At this point, you might have come across this term if you’ve worked with any kind of AI agent. But if you still haven’t, here’s a quick refresher on what it is and why it’s important.

When people talk about AI coding tools, the conversation usually revolves around models, prompts, context windows, and agent capabilities. That’s usually what grabs the headlines.

When you’re working with fonts, especially for displaying numbers, there’s something called proportional spacing that can make a huge difference in how your numbers look when they’re animated.

The Laravel team recently released the Laravel AI SDK that provides a simple and elegant way to integrate AI capabilities into your Laravel applications. The SDK offers a clean and intuitive API that allows developers to easily interact with AI models and services.

I was reading the article Sounds on The Web by Raphael Salaja the other day. The article explains the importance of sounds in web applications and how integrating them just enough can dramatically enhance user experience by providing feedback and improving usability.

So, lately, I have been exploring Haley Park’s website and it’s pretty cute and well designed. What caught my attention, though, was this water ripple effect on one of the text snippets.

You know how sometimes you want to ensure that a value stays within a specific range? Maybe you’re working with user input, configuration values, or any scenario where you need to enforce boundaries.

Ever reach for a simple callback and end up writing a tiny novella—an arrow function stuffed with types, reordered parameters, and boilerplate just to pass one value through?

When a webpage’s content exceeds the viewport height, browsers typically introduce a vertical scrollbar. This can lead to layout shifts, especially when navigating between pages or toggling content visibility, as the presence or absence of the scrollbar alters the available width for content.

For years, we’ve faked “characterful” corners with SVG masks, pseudo-elements, and more than a few headaches. The problem? Border-radius only controls size, not shape.

PHP’s parse_url was not compliant with RFC 3986 (generic, permissive URIs) or WHATWG URL (browser-style URLs), leading to inconsistent behavior, interoperability problems with tools like cURL, and subtle security issues such as parsing confusion.

Imagine a responsive hero image that becomes more transparent as the viewport gets narrower, helping text readability on small screens or a card that scales up slightly as the viewport grows, adding a subtle polish.
