You receive a call on your phone.
The caller says they're from your bank and they're calling about a suspected fraud.

"Oh yeah," you think. Obvious scam, right?

The caller says "I'll send you an in-app notification to prove I'm calling from your bank."

Your phone buzzes. You tap the notification This is what you see.

Still think it is a scam?

An #RSS reader is just another inbox with an ever-incrementing unread count. This solution by @sarajw is a nice way to get around that:

The popover API lands in Baseline

Exciting update for web developers - the popover API has landed in all modern browser engines. This will allow developers to more easily create contextual overlays on their sites. I'm looking forward to seeing the creative ways devs leverage this new capability to enhance user experiences.

The next version of Polypane is ready but I'm waiting for an Electron bug to be fixed, so I'm picking up small suggestions, ideas and nits from people.

@yatil asked me to add validation to the page language and @Lukew asked me to show the color-scheme value more prominently. @sapegin on the other hand helped me come up with a clever way to apply media emulation to all panes at once.

So if you have requests/suggestions for Polypane, now's the time to sent them to me!

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;  
 }  
}

#SEO / #a11y #accessibility question:

Suppose I have a home page and its content is nothing but different blocks (image + text) that link to internal pages. Does that count as a navigation and I have to use the <nav> element or It counts as the main content and a simple <ul> listing is enough?

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?

Please help me find this song!

I think it's a relatively new/modern song. It sounded funk/soul-y to me, but it's far out of my usual noisy music circle.

It's upbeat, heard it a few times in a hip hotel lounge. I googled it then, I think it was by a black artist.

Title is something with fire, or burning, or burning up?

We as developers often get to make our own technology decisions.

But have you ever imagined what it would be like if our users could vote on how they wanted the things they use to be built?

Have you ever stopped to think what a massive privilege we enjoy, being allowed to pick what we think is best for us, over what any user might pick for themselves, given the requisite understanding?

I'm working on my typography talk for #CSSDay (working title: "Problems Solved By OpenType")!

My plan is to mostly show all the things fonts can do on the web (the techy bits), without going too far into typesetting itself (the designy bits).

What should (and shouldn't!) I cover? Are there issues in your current project(s) that's holding you back from using modern fonts and CSS?

I find #uses pages potentially really interesting, but I feel most miss the stories the items tell about the owner and their history. I tried to write one more in the style I hope to see more of:

These features are foundational, unlock use cases that are hard to achieve otherwise, and are much needed by web developers, based on the signals we hear.

Take a read, and let us know if these represent your needs well. We’re excited about the prioritization impact this could have.

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 🫠
