Tiny Volumetric Display
Summary: Mitxela.com has created a tiny volumetric display called POV Candle, which simulates a flickering candle from any angle using persistence-of-vision technology. The project uses an LED matrix board, a microcontroller, and a small motor to spin the display. The prototype is powered by a rechargeable LIR2450 lithium-ion battery and controlled by an RP2040-tiny board. The display can be programmed using Blender to generate 3D polar coordinate data, allowing for various volumetric visuals. The prototype is still in development, with improvements planned for battery monitoring and charging.

You don't need JavaScript for that
Summary: In this article, Kilian Valkhof discusses the rule of least power in web development, which suggests using the least powerful language suitable for a given purpose. He highlights the benefits of preferring HTML and CSS over JavaScript (JS) for better performance, adaptability, and accessibility. The article provides examples of how to create custom switches, datalists, accordions, and dialog modals using native HTML and CSS features. Valkhof encourages developers to test their assumptions about needing JS and explore new web technologies for better website experiences.
