Want to send messages and video calls with:

* no installs
* no sign-ups
* no tracking
* end-to-end encryption

This new prototype uses PeerJS to establish a secure browser-to-browser connection. Everything is ephemeral and cleared when you refresh the page—true zerodata privacy!

Check out the [testable demo here](https://p2p.positive-intentions.com/iframe.html?globals=&id=demo-p2p-messaging--p-2-p-messaging&viewMode=story).

I am working towards a look-and-feel to match Whatsapp as seen in this [hardcoded UI demo](http://glitr.positive-intentions.com).

IMPORTANT NOTE: This is still a work-in-progress and a close-source project. It is based on the open source MVP see [here](https://github.com/positive-intentions/chat). It has NOT been audited or reviewed. For testing purposes only, not a replacement for your current messaging app.

@antfu Thanks for your work to explore #pnpm catalogs. I agree that this is especially useful to document how and when to update certain dependencies.

Some are safe to change (testing and dev deps), and others require careful review (runtime production dependencies with access to sensitive data).

Looking forward to how this develops over time. This could create big improvements for #JavaScript and #TypeScript projects.

I guess it's a good first step https://toot.cafe/@tomayac/115309411832537447

But I've also been waiting for *years* (`prefers-color-scheme` was introduced in 2019), for:
- light/dark-mode `theme_color`
- light/dark-mode `background_color`
- light-dark-mode `icons`

I woke up with an idea to create a fork of a software I love and of which there are no free and open source equivalents, this is a screenwriting software with basic features for film pre-production, but its developers abandoned it as they created a new one but paywalled most if the features. I however have no programming skills, and I'm wondering what it might take me to convince someone to work on this project? This is it

Please help me out CSS friends.

My container is 660px wide.
I've set the font size to be 10cqi.
There are 10 monospace characters.
Why isn't each of them 66px wide?

Have I misunderstood how container queries work?
