I think I've mostly fixed up RSS Joy again - after it's clearly been broken a little while! rs.sjoy.lol I've not coded it very robustly I suppose - it falls over if it takes too long for an RSS feed to respond, on build. Never mind! Please enjoy a nice list of lots of good web dev blog posts :)

🖼️ My #CSSDay slides and all the links are up on talks.hiddedevries.nl/3do3c4/displ... humbled by all the friendly responses to this, it felt like there was real appetite for people to make their sites greener. I love to see it!

I'm embarrassed that my latest slides are inaccessible. What am I bloody giving talks about? ACCESSIBILITY 🤦 Please find my Whimsica11y slides here, two similar versions from State of the Browser and WeAreDevelopers Accessibility & AI Day - with links to accessible versions: slides.sarajoy.dev

Woof. Got through it, albeit with a bunch of connectivity issues every time I tried to show a video 🫣 I'll also take part in the panel after @gerireid.com's "Shift Left" talk :)

People print websites, so I wrote an article over on @piccalil.li about how to make sure they don't feel the need to pull out all their hair while printing yours. Decimate a rainforest, spend a fortune on some new ink cartridges, unjam the mechanism, print off the article, and give it a read.

Practiced my talk again. Fits within the time slot still. Winner. See a few of you tomorrow, maybe - or rather, you will see me and/or my slides, anyway!

My friend @benjamindickson.bsky.social is an excellent comics writer and illustrator - I built his site a while ago, before my accessibility awareness had fully formed. I'm still proud of it: bendickson.co.uk Some changes are due because of a new book (Chamberlain), I'll add more Alt text then :)

I LOVE these. WHAT DO THEY SMELL OF WHY* AM I NOT THERE THIS YEAR?! (I know why, it's very expensive even when it's well worth it, but I need some more time and budget and whatnot, so, shhh)

For a "developer focused" analyst firm, I feel like this article is somewhat throwing developers under a bus: https://redmonk.com/kholterhoff/2025/06/03/introducing-the-designer-first-cms/ And not one mention - apart from within 3 links, hyperlinked from the single words within "(and some […]

It's such a gross letter. I can't begin to imagine how that would play out. Maybe we are supposed to go back to just putting largely plain text websites out, or just APIs or something. Grim. Agreed on the grass roots zines and other publications - they're absolutely giving me life right now!

Excellent article by @robbowen.digital - even if looking at artisans in the other industries fighting for their craft in the face of massive industrialisation makes me feel somewhat apprehensive... If you liked this, also read helloyes.dev/blog/2023/cr...

Back when I was finding my feet in tech everybody was buzzing about building positive change. Somewhere along the way, something changed. Fortunately for us though, tech is not the first industry forced to defend itself against dubious practices. What might we learn if we were to look elsewhere?

June is Pride Month. In this article, I explore several LGBTQ+ flags, how to recreate them using CSS and a single HTML element (fully responsive so they could double as icons), and share the history behind some of them. alvaromontoro.com/blog/68009/l... #css #webDevelopment #PrideMonth #CSSArt

Having moved backups and cloud services around, I've now uninstalled OneDrive from my Windows 11 PC. Didn't even know that was possible! You betcha I double checked those "AI Components" and was happy to see none listed. But then I figured that Copilot is […] [Original post on front-end.social]

It took becoming a mother to two little boys who can now both pee standing up, and often feel urgency at the same time, to understand there may have been another layer to the "Don't cross the streams!" business in Ghostbusters.

I'm in a frustrating cycle with @koofr.net - I think once set up, all will be well - but right now I'm like 😬 The native app for Windows mysteriously isn't completing the syncs I've set up. So I map it as a network drive via WebDAV, but that's limited to the available space on my C:\ hard drive.
