What is the best HTML formatter that folks use in 2026?

Don't say prettier. It turns void elements into self-closing tags, which do not exist in HTML, so it produces invalid HTML.

See developer.mozilla.org/en-US/do

I'm looking for an HTML formatter that produces valid HTML.

🚨 New blog post: Packaging kotlin-lsp for NixVim

In this short how-to I show how to write a Nix derivation to package kotlin-lsp for use in a NixVim configuration. I also explain a little bit how I approach packaging Java applications with Nix, when I can't build them from source.

Am I imagining a `git commit --fixup` helper tool that, given a staged change in a hunk of a file present in a previous commit, will automatically find that commit and `--fixup` that commit?

I'm fed up of noticing a problem, then `git log --oneline` and then copypasta a SHA and then `git rebase -i`, and then I notice another thing that's bad and the process starts over.
