I like the web monetisation proposal being brought forward by @ppk:

  • Beloved sites get sold and dropped or "eaten by AI", and the reason is money.
  • For those willing, a trickling micro payment stream could send a few cents every few seconds from a reader's wallet to that of a website owner.
  • The readers would control their max rate and max outlay per month, for example.
  • The readers could block certain sites/domains from receiving money.
  • There are still lots of open questions!

@sarajw web monetization like the API or something new? This sounds a lot like how Brave browser works.

@alvaromontoro@front-end.social avatar

@sarajw @viraptor I joined Brave early as a creator. I used to get $1-2 a month through donations. Now I can consider myself lucky if I get $0.50 a month (if you want money, their ads system works well, although it used to pay a lot more, maybe it's overcrowded now?).

As for web monetization, I used to get $0.50-1 a month, but it has been basically dead for over a year. I'd need to track the last time someone donated anything.

@zachleat what weird tech story did I miss?

@zachleat holy cow. I said this and literally seconds later I got a bluesky notification. And I haven't used bluesky in months... Coincidence?

Leading conspiracy theories in my area:

  1. a secret group of powerful people control world events
  2. big pharma companies spread diseases to increase drug sales
  3. every person who owns a computer that is connected to the internet is being tracked and monitored

@simevidas at least one of them is true though

Some recent changes in the comiCSS website:

  • Removed YouTube embedded videos and Google fonts (=no trackers/cookies)
  • Added thumbnail pictures to comic pages
  • Updated the URL structure: no more https://comicss.art/?id=136 (which will still works), now it'll be https://comicss.art/comics/136
  • Updated the JavaScript to the new URL structure. The site will work without JS!... But it makes the experience faster and better. So there's that.

Next:

  • Add social media sharing links
  • what else should I do?

@kaiserkiwi Thanks for letting me know. It should be fixed now.

Every time I post a comiCSS cartoon that mentions Tailwind, I get some push back and complains from people. I should have been the bigger man and not reply to this comment... But I did.

On the bright side, it gave me an idea for a new cartoon with Tailwind as main topic. So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

alvaromontoro,
@alvaromontoro@front-end.social avatar

I have nothing against people using Tailwind. That's their choice and a great one if it works on their project. But making it their whole personality or trying to shove it down people's throats? That is sad and incredibly annoying... And one of the reasons why I make those cartoons.

Keep your image alternative text brief, devoid of special characters, empty of URLs, and ideally in one language.

@alvaromontoro@front-end.social avatar

@aardrian while it makes sense not to add URLs, quotes, or mixed languages, the part about keeping it short contrasts with what I've heard from blind people who —and I understand that this could be their personal choice and not an opinion shared by everybody— preferred long detailed alternative texts that described the picture accurately over something short but missed details.

I haven't blogged regularly in a long while (in about 2 years, actually, since the course).

I'm now slowly getting into the flow of things, and I have a lot of ideas for topics to write about. Too many.

So I'm wondering: what kind of topics do you wish I'd write more about?

alvaromontoro,
@alvaromontoro@front-end.social avatar

@sarajw @SaraSoueidan the most recent <dialog> element won't work accessibly unless you use JS. And it's "new".

Yesterday, I did a small workshop about drawing with CSS and my experience drawing a comic about CSS in CSS at the Nerdearla conference. As part of the workshop, I created a small meme for comiCSS: https://comicss.art/?id=132

A Tailwind version may be coming out soon :P

A web styling version (with Tailwind at the end of the joke 😳)

Speaking of , there is yet another one:

I have already made a PR to add it to the Overlay Fact Sheet:
https://github.com/karlgroves/overlayfactsheet/pull/1189

As with other overlays, it makes WCAG/ADA promises, fails to fix stuff, replicates platform features (poorly) in CSS, and introduces WCAG violations just by adding it to a site.

Cool business model.

@hi_mayank @aardrian I'm no accessibility expert, but I wouldn't trust my accessibility on a company with this website and code.
