MODERN CSS

Modern CSS is a resource dedicated to updating developers on modern CSS practices, urging them to abandon outdated hacks from 2015. It shows modern, native CSS solutions side-by-side with the older, often JavaScript-reliant techniques they replace.

WEBMCP

The WebMCP API is a new JavaScript interface that enables web apps to expose their functionality as "tools" for AI agents. Web developers can register these tools, which are JavaScript functions with natural language descriptions and structured schemas, through a ModelContext interface. This allows various agents, including LLM-based AI platforms, browser agents, and assistive technologies, to invoke client-side web application logic.

AWS-CONFIG-D

aws-config-d splits the monolithic ~/.aws/config file into per-organization files under a config.d/ directory, automatically concatenating them via a shell hook on session start — useful for security teams and consultants managing SSO profiles across multiple AWS organizations. The tool includes SHA-256 drift detection that warns when external changes (such as aws configure sso) modify the config outside the managed workflow, preventing silent overwrites of carefully scoped access configurations. It supports bash, zsh, and fish with zero dependencies and ships with 42 containerized tests covering rebuild triggers, migration, and idempotency.
