We’ve always told devs that browsers prioritize what to implement based on dev demand.

There is one exception: #SVG.

SVG is used on >65% of websites. Yet, browsers have been refusing to work on SVG, ignoring pressure and pain points from web devs.

#StateOfHTML showed SVG as the top content pain point: https://2023.stateofhtml.com/en-US/features/content/#content_pain_points

Tons of work (SVG 2, fill & stroke, and more) has sat unimplemented for years. At this point, in standards circles, we know not to touch SVG with a barge pole.

New post: “Recent CSS Bookmarks 16”

https://blog.kizu.dev/recent-css-bookmarks-016/

Another big batch of #CSS bookmarks: more than a month worth of them.

As usual, with that number of them (32!), I grouped them into eight sections: Colors and Themes, CSS Layouts, Typography, Future CSS, Selectors, Shapes and Effects, Everything Else and My Articles.

Dear native English speakers, when do, and when don't you use the word "minutes" when you tell the time?

For instance, would you say “It’s two to two” or would that always be “It’s two minutes to two?”

Wondering when I can leave out the minutes, and when I should definitely use them. Any ideas?

⭐ We Are the Curators of the Web by @bjhess https://bjhess.com/posts/we-are-the-curators-of-the-web

"In my opinion we must look within for the solution. We are the human beings that are meant to curate the web."

I don't have anything right now but I've been thinking about this a lot the past couple of months.

Let’s talk about dark mode and accessibility! There’s a myth that dark mode is good for accessibility, because it improves text readability. It's not always true.

📝 New on Piccalilli: How a handful of independent publishers are doing their thing

I really like paying good writers so I thought I’d recommend a handful of publications I’m paying for and look at how they do things.

thanks to everyone who took the time to watch my talk last week at the first 11ty conference! that was a total blast and i have just now caught my breath lol.

here's the demo repo as promised — i’ve included a basic README guide, comment-annotated the code, and added my bibliography so there's plenty more material to explore. <3

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!

This week I gave a talk at the 11ty International Symposium on Making the Web Real Good. It was about Question Mark, Ohio and about how the web is still a place of endless possibility. I've adapted the talk into a blog post for you.

ben, 10 days ago to accessibility

There was an interesting #accessibility question in the #11tyConf chat I wanted to surface.

Say your site styles are responding to the prefers-contrast: less media query. Must they still conform to the relevant 4.5:1 and 3:1 contrast ratios when the media query is active?

What pattern will emerge from this union?

sarajw, 2 months ago to random

What options are there to properly fight spam in a static website? Are there any?

Or if I get access to a database endpoint, maybe via an ORM rather than PHP - I can put my entries in there, but how can I run spam checks?

I currently use Netlify Forms, they run Akismet and it's awesome. But I'd like to make my email contact form and guestbook form independent from Netlify if I can.

Every site I'm finding in my search for spam filters and contact forms seems to be all about wordpress plugins 🫠
