HTMx is the first library that excites me in a long time. Instead of replacing HTML and HTTP it augments it and makes it dead easy to build apps with semantic value. Just like jQuery started before it became too dependent on itself

I just added a "share on mastodon" link to christianheilmann.com. Shame it doesn't work without JavaScript as I need to learn what instance you are on. That's why the first time I ask for it and then store it in local storage. I can write it up, but it's super straight forward.

One frustrating thing to still see is talks and articles that claim using HTML means being accessible. And that accessibility means "it works without JavaScript". Neither is true. You can create pointless, hard to navigate HTML and you can use JS to make things more acccessibe.

It does my head in that in JavaScript, a binary to decimal conversion is a parseInt, a Math method, but a decimal to binary conversion is a String method.

The Verge’s new way to display news item links is a terrible idea https://christianheilmann.com/2023/08/14/the-verges-new-way-to-display-news-item-links-is-a-terrible-idea/
Visually impaired users relying on quick access to links only get a bunch of them stating "link". Can we stop re-inventing things that work?

I don't know what is more bonkers: thinking that this was a good idea or all the people in the thread (including the maintainers) defending it as a Hindu Swastik and thus being OK to show.
