From Joomla to Astro: twenty-three years on the open web
Joomla in 2003, SilverStripe briefly, a long WordPress decade with Genesis on top — and why static-site tooling finally won me over for new builds in 2026.
How to detect user-defined window globals with JavaScript (Enhanced)
An async, error-resilient globals detector: spins up an iframe baseline, categorises the diff by type, and lets you exclude known third-party noise.
Building a developer-friendly Chrome extension: script redirector with live reload
Inside MintMinds RequestLite: a Manifest V3 Chrome extension that redirects production script URLs to localhost and live-reloads tabs over WebSocket.
How to list user-defined window globals with JavaScript
A tiny IIFE that compares window against a fresh iframe to list every user-defined global, grouped by type — handy for auditing third-party noise.
How to simulate clicks on non-supported HTML elements
Why HTMLElement.click() silently fails on SVG, and the modern MouseEvent-dispatch one-liner that actually triggers the click on any element.

A tiny defensive wrapper that picks console.dir for objects and arrays and console.info for primitives — back when Firebug and Chrome disagreed about logging.
