DEV has introduced a convenient feature allowing users to accept or decline organization invitations directly from notifications, eliminating the need to open email links.

How to Build a Next.js App That's Harder to Break in Penetration Testing 🔐

You ship your Next.js app. It looks great and the Lighthouse score is green. Then a penetration tester sends you a report, and it's longer than your README. It happens to many of us.

  • Keep Next.js and dependencies updated to patch security vulnerabilities.
  • Validate permissions and input on the server side, not just client-side.
  • Add security headers like CSP, HSTS, and Referrer-Policy to tighten app security.

Why your CSS gradient looks muddy in the middle (and the one-line fix)

If you've ever written linear-gradient(blue, yellow) and got a dull grey-ish band in the middle, the colours aren't wrong; the interpolation is.

  • CSS gradients appear muddy in middle due to sRGB color space blending
  • Interpolate colors in perceptually even color spaces like OKLab or OKLCH
  • OKLab recommended for most UI gradients, OKLCH for vivid backgrounds
