I'm often ashamed to have to ask for help with JavaScript code, feeling like I'm not up to the task, like I'm an imposter with my few open source projects.

I shouldn't be.
But that's the way it is… 🤷♂️
TIL there are nullish coalescing operator (??) and assignment (??=) in many programming languages, including JavaScript.
Never used them, always either using || or initialising variables with undefined.
Should I refactor? 🤔
TIL IntersectionObserver's rootMargin only works if the observer is in the same origin, because of privacy concerns:
There is a risk that the API may be used to probe for information about the geometry of the global viewport itself, which may be used to deduce the user’s hardware configuration.
That's why this demo of a sticky navigation doesn't work in CodePen's default view… 😞
I want to be a web developer, not a JavaScript developer. Same. (Read the whole post, of course.)
Which (stable, lightweight, maintained, etc.) npm package would you recommend to transform any RSS or Atom feeds to a standard JSON Feed format?
While we wait for browsers to implement the text-wrap: balance; #CSS property and value for text (pleeeeeease! 🙏), I may have created a silly — and probably sub-optimal — function to do it with HTML block elements:

Tell me what you think!
But why? Just because a colleague needed it, we could not find a solution in pure CSS, and I like challenges… 😅
