Hello there! 👋

Me + websites I work on = positive effects on all the metrics.

Free tip for great front-end!
If you can solve it without JavaScript, you should solve it without JavaScript.
Progressive enhancement is better than depending on JS.

I love Astro and any other new framework which ditches throwing client-side executed JavaScript at every problem.

The things I do tend to be ahead of the curve, sometimes by years. Which means I'm two things: a continuous learner and autistic.

Currently working on vr.fi, for example contributed a lot to the Junat kartalla service (live train tracker map).

Check my homepage for a blog on web development and lots of other cool stuff.


A lot of my stuff here on GitHub has now been outdated by the changing times. For example no more need for react-lazy since you can just do <img loading="lazy" />. What can we learn from this? JavaScript code for the front-end becomes outdated, but HTML and CSS keep on living. Maybe we should work more on just HTML and CSS, and less on JS since it is the short-lived solution until standards make things possible without JS.
