I’ve been a bit sucked into the game Balatro lately. Seriously. Tell me your strategies. I enjoy playing it equally as much lately as unwinding watching streamers play it on YouTube. Balatro has a handful of accessibility features. Stuff like slowing down or turning off animations and the like. I’m particularly interested one of the […]

There is an awful lot of change on the web. Sometimes the languages we use to build for the web change. Some of it comes from browsers themselves changing. An awful lot of it comes from ourselves. We change UIs and not always for the better. We build new tools. We see greener grass and […]

Let’s do some links to accessibility information I’ve saved, recently read, and thought were useful and insightful.

Jake thinks developers should embrace creative coding again, which, ya know, it’s hard to disagree with from my desk at what often feels like creative coding headquarters. Why tho? From Jake’s perspective it’s about exposure. While many designers and developers have been working within familiar constraints, browsers have undergone a quiet revolution. The web now […]

I kinda like the idea of the “minimal” service worker. Service Workers can be pretty damn complicated and the power of them honestly makes me a little nervous. They are middlemen between the browser and the network and I can imagine really dinking that up, myself. Not to dissuade you from using them, as they […]

I love a good exposé on how a front-end team operates. Like what technology they use, why, and how, particularly when there are pain points and journeys through them. Jim Simon of Reddit wrote one a bit ago about their teams build process. They were using something Rollup based and getting 2-minute build times and […]

HTML is fun to think about. The old classic battle of “HTML is a programming language” has surfaced in the pages of none other than WIRED magazine. I love this argument, not even for it’s merit, but for the absolutely certainty that you will get people coming out of the woodwork to tell you that […]

Like Miriam Suzanne says: You’re allowed to have preferences. Set your preferences. I like the idea of controlling my own experience when browsing and using the web. Bump up that default font size, you’re worth it. Here’s another version of control. If you publish a truncated RSS feed on your site, but the site itself […]

I coded a thingy the other day and I made it a web component because it occurred to me that was probably the correct approach. Not to mention they are on the mind a bit with the news of React 19 dropping with full support. My component is content-heavy HTML with a smidge of dynamic […]

Typography stuff! I can’t help it, it’s a part of me. I bookmark great looking new typefaces (according to me) when I see them released or are just seeing them for the first time. Here’s some! Roslindale I think they are kiping this slogan from Caslon and it’s awfully bold to do so. I’m cool […]
