The last two "big" announcements from Silicon Valley: 1) Figma sites: inaccessible mess 2) Apple Liquid Glass: inaccessible mess I can't actually remember the last time Silicon Valley came up with something that was actually good.

"I’m labelled an HTML guru, a CSS pioneer. A JavaScript Rockstar. TypeScript wishes it was half as dependable as my code" I first wrote this satire in 2011, then updated one or two references when I published it last year. It amuses me how it seems to be evergreen

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 :)
