I have a problem.

Too much content for the talk slot. 😅

I'll need to kill some of my darlings. 🥹

Thank you @aardrian for teaching me this phrase and making it a little easier for me to do. I remember when you told me to kill some of my darlings in one of the course chapters. It was soooo hard 😅 but once I did that, it's somehow become easier afterwards knowing that doing it will improve the result.

I get the appeal of email newsletters. I really do.

But nothing gives me as much anxiety as sending out an email and then constantly obsessing about whether I made a typo or messed up a link, because I simply can't just edit it like I can with a post on my blog. 😭

Friends, what are you using to cross-post your posts across social media platforms?

I'm in the market for a new CLICKER - my old one, which I bought for SxSW 2007, has finally given up the ghost.

Mac/Keynote. Preferably USB-C.

Any tips? Best/worst?

LOL, the neighbor who mowed his lawn on Thursday afternoon is mowing his lawn again Monday morning.

Unrelated question: What’s a good thing you can send to your neighbor anonymously that will become a quiet inside hobby they can obsess over?

Okay, so when making a popover I think the logic should go something like this:

1. Use title if the content of the popover is just text.

2. Use the popover attribute if the content is more than plain text and like a menu of options or something.

3. Use <dialog> if you need to force the user to make a decision or block all other interactions on the page.

@bramus Hey Bramus, do you have an idea when your CSS Cafe presentation video will be published? 🙏🏻

Reading the accessibility posts on CSS-tricks feels like torture. It almost physically hurts. 😣

The amount of misinformation being spread is insane. And the worst part is that the blog's previous popularity is helping spread this misinformation. We seriously need an intervention at this point.

Regretfully decided to peer into Twitter and stumbled into a shitpost claiming that you can’t be a real developer if you have to use a framework to use JavaScript.

So people more or less know my view on JS frameworks, I’d prefer not to use them if possible. However there is no way I'm going to be going round gatekeeping the whole ass industry just because you used a lib you're comfortable with.

Get off your high horse and be more welcoming, not exclusionary

When you find a web shop that works without JavaScript, including search, the menu and sub menus, options for filtering and sorting, and even the cart

Asking Mastadon.

Can anyone recommend good online resources to learn #accessibility ? Really am asking for a friend, they would ideally like something structured like a course.

Thanks!

Did ya know that it’s possible to style an element if it’s overflowing the parent element? I certainly didn’t!

.parent {  
 max-width: 300px;  
}

.child {  
 width: 500px;

 @media@mastodon.social (overflow-inline) {  
 background: yellow;  
 }  
}
