How to Build a Reusable FSCSS Module Using the st-core Pattern

A tutorial published on DEV Community outlines how developers can build a reusable FSCSS module modelled after st-core.fscss, a stylesheet library for design tokens and UI components. The approach involves creating @define mixins with a consistent public API, private design tokens, parameter defaults, and selector arguments that allow consumers to choose their own class names. Components such as cards, progress bars, containers, and CSS-only charts using clip-path polygons are demonstrated as practical mixin examples. Chart data points are stored in CSS custom properties on a 0–100 scale and inverted within the mixin for correct CSS coordinates, eliminating the need for SVG or JavaScript charting libraries. The module requires FSCSS version 1.1.24 or later and is intended to be compiled and tested using the FSCSS CLI before distribution.

Meteor 3.5 Launches accounts-express to Unify Meteor and Express Authentication

Meteor 3.5 has introduced accounts-express, a new package that connects Express routes to Meteor's existing authentication system. Previously, developers needed custom middleware or separate session logic to use Meteor user credentials within Express endpoints. The package works by reading a Meteor login token from incoming requests and attaching the resolved user ID to req.userId, making it available throughout the Express handler chain. It also ships an authentication-aware fetch client, allowing browser code to automatically include login tokens when calling protected endpoints. This integration is designed to extend Meteor Accounts to HTTP routes without replacing or duplicating the app's existing authentication setup.

Keycloak CVE-2026-18963: Critical Flaw Allows Full Account Takeover Without Authentication

Red Hat and the Keycloak project patched CVE-2026-18963 on August 19, 2026, a critical vulnerability rated 9.1 on the CVSS scale affecting the password reset flow. The flaw allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass the email token verification step and directly reset the password of any account, including administrator accounts. Any organization running Keycloak with the Forgot Password feature enabled on an internet-facing login page is at risk of complete identity compromise. Fixed versions include upstream Keycloak 26.7.2 and Red Hat builds 26.4.15 and 26.6.6. Organizations unable to patch immediately are advised to disable the Forgot Password option in every realm's login settings as a temporary mitigation.

How Apache Kafka Rescued a Hyperlocal Delivery Startup From System Collapse

SwiftKart, a fast-growing hyperlocal delivery startup, saw daily orders surge from 4,000 to 40,000 in just two months, overwhelming its Redis-based queue architecture. Backend engineer Arjun and DevOps engineer Meera faced cascading failures including delayed notifications, overflowing queues, duplicate messages, and crashing workers. The core problem was that Redis lacked durability, multi-consumer support, and the ability to replay events, making it unsuitable for high-volume real-time streaming. The company's CTO decided to migrate to Apache Kafka, a distributed, durable, and replayable event log designed to handle millions of events per second. The article serves as both a narrative and a technical walkthrough of why Kafka was chosen, covering its architecture, key concepts, trade-offs, and scenarios where it may not be the right fit.

Apple's Second-Gen AirTag Four-Pack Hits Record Low Price of $79

Apple's second-generation AirTag four-pack is now available at Amazon and Target for $79, down from its original price of $99, marking the bundle's lowest price to date. The discount is notable given that first-generation AirTags took considerably longer to see a comparable price drop. The second-gen AirTag features an upgraded ultra-wideband chip, a louder speaker, and extended Bluetooth range compared to its predecessor, though its exterior design remains unchanged. Buying the four-pack at this price works out cheaper than purchasing individual units, which currently retail at $24 each. Reviewers have noted meaningful improvements in tracking accuracy across different floors compared to the older model.

GoFundMe CEO on how the platform became a stand-in for America's safety net

Tim Cadogan, who became CEO of GoFundMe on March 2, 2020, spoke with The Verge's Decoder podcast about the platform's growing role in American life. Medical expenses are the single largest fundraising category on GoFundMe, a trend Cadogan says holds true across all 20 countries where the platform operates. The 2020 pandemic and wave of political unrest significantly expanded GoFundMe's cultural footprint, making it a go-to resource during major national and global events. As a for-profit company that collects fees and tips, GoFundMe faces tension between its social utility and its obligation to grow as a business. Cadogan discussed how he navigates difficult decisions about which fundraisers the platform will and will not support.
