    Nice post about backdrop filter! I did change the trigger for the scroll so glad it works

    I will take that into account, what you write makes sense! I had actually debated on how to handle the loader and prioritized UI over experience and just showing the content ASAP a…

    I used it on a pure html, js and css static site with bootstrap, it was useful there to me

    not really, I think it just wasn't able to read a css file, I saw some other comments, will check this error, maybe give me visual feedback to the user

    Hey Chris! you're talking about kigo.studio, right? can you tell me which version of firefox you are using? I tested it on my mac firefox 135.0.1 (aarch64) and it works fine I don'…

    hehe I didn't use this tool for Kigo's site since I built it from scratch, the loader is used because of the BG videos, I wanted the videos to load completely before showing the pa…

    Yes, this is for specific use cases, I don't have a use for this for sites where I coded everything myself, this has been useful for static sites where I downloaded a template that…

    Yes, for first view page and it is a trade off, best approach is writing all the styles and code yourself, not use libraries, etc.

    hehe, I know... I should think about that, I got tons of visits but unsure this is worthwhile since it appears it's not that useful for most people?

    Yeap, I had to change some styles after applying this but managed to get CLS to 0 for the websites, I know this isn't useful for everyone but it was really useful for me as I have …

    it's based on penthouse, honestly, the most "difficult" part of this was setting up CloudRun with docker to get puppeteer to work and be able to wait whatever amount of time the us…

    Oh, writing clean css, html and js is THE WAY TO GO but you might inherit a messy project, download a template or even work on a project you coded poorly

    There are definitely better ways, however, for some scenarios and time constraint, this tool was really useful, e.g., I used a template, since the budget was tight and it had 10,00…

    you are right, I will add this option, probably replace the 'before body' option, the 'DOMCONTENTLOADED' option has worked wonders for me, even tested it on old phones and slower c…
