New article: Adding front end interactivity to sites not written in JS
Introduces a pattern I've used to add JS interactivity without filling my markup with `<script>` tags and `onclick`s, then shows how a small refactor can turn that into Light DOM web components.
Applicable to many sites not using a JS framework, but written especially with the @eleventy and @craftcms communities in mind.

If you use #ddev daily at work, it would be great to ask your company if they're able to contribute financially to the open source development this year:
„Funding DDEV and especially to help Maintainer Stas go full-time on DDEV: We need your help and your organization’s help!“ https://ddev.com/blog/ddev-jan-2025-newsletter/
Damn, using Craft is so satisfying once you have everything set up. It's so much more streamlined than WordPress.
Even setting up a new staging or production environment from scratch is so simple and painless as long as you adhere to a clean workflow and use tools like Ploi. It really feels like being in the future compared to standard web development 10-15 years ago.
Little #CraftCMS UI improvement to kick off the new year: the element library sidebar in field layout designers is going away in favor of heads-up displays for each tab. https://github.com/craftcms/cms/pull/16374
Admin Bar for Craft CMS got updated, too!
This adds two new widgets, Authors and Published.
Authors shows who created the page you’re on and Published shows you its ID, post date, updated, and created dates.

Been hitting some more of the low-hanging fruit ideas for Admin Bar PRO widgets:
Authors: quickly see who created the current page without jumping back into the edit page.
Published: along a similar vein, see the publish, update, and created dates, along with the entry ID.
These widgets are just the start. If you have an idea for a new Admin Bar Widget, please contact me directly or start a new discussion on GitHub:
