Little or even unknown website that you like to use?

Remember those "this page was optimised for Netscape 3" banners from a hundred decades ago? As a #firefox user in 2025, chances are good that they will re-appear:

A website literally just asked me to turn OFF firefox' tracking protection in order to use a form. Imagine: It's easier for #webdevelopers nowadays to build a browser-specific notification instead of removing third party fingerprinting and scripts from their website first-hand.

You can guess how accessible the rest of the website is.

I’ve been thinking for awhile that someone with the necessary spoons and skills should make a website called Chorus Of Cassandras. It could be a library of the amazing resources being created by people with post-infectious diseases like Long COVID and ME/CFS.

We are living through a pandemic of disablement due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. But the increasing public awareness of ME/CFS and Long COVID caused by the huge numbers of people now living with these diseases is also leading to a renaissance of Chronically Ill work.

There is so much amazing, useful work to collect and document and share: articles, books, blogs, research projects, fundraising projects, music, art collectives, film festivals, cookbooks, comics, photography….

This collection of work essentially fills the hole created by failures of official public health departments. It contains valuable information for a society that will continue to be systematically weakened by post-infectious diseases.

These creators are explaining what these diseases are and how they can be managed. They are also showing how to live in bodies that do not function as they used to. These people know how to create the informal systems necessary to stay alive in bodies that do not function within the old status quo.

I have learned so much from these creators about how to live my chronically ill life. They are our illders. We need their wisdom.

Someone with energy and IT skills should be archiving this wisdom. We need a Compendium of the Chorus of Cassandras. An exhaustive list of the work of the exhausted.

My interview with @flowcontrol was published at @editor for the #communityCornerPodcast. We discuss Florian's article about Concurrency in #php.

It was a fun and thought-provoking talk and I was a little jealous of Florian's #Elephpant collection

#WebDevelopers stop replacing default #HTML elements with custom elements that have less functionality!

I can't stand trying to TAB my way through a form only to find some stupid custom input component doesn't handle me pressing tab to move into and out of it.

All so the component is ever so slightly different from a default input.

Infuriating!

WebDevelopers from the '90s who still edit HTML files on a live FTP server using table layouts when people complain about their transpiling devops ci/cd setups:

the problem with #mastodon is not enough #webDevelopers use it, i’ve been saying this

#webdevelopers is there an #opensource tool to convert a wordpress site to static html?
Bonus points if it converts (or imports into) a SSG like hugo or jekyll!

Do any other #webdevelopers get irritated when you occasionally use website builders? I mainly get annoyed at them when ik how to do something that it doesn't allow me to lol

Dear #webdevelopers

How many outstanding XmlHttpRequests can your browser do at the same time?

If your answer to that question is "What do you mean?"... Stop trying to write fancy async data fetching and just serialize your requests.

Your page will take ten seconds to load but it will load successfully.

(... I'm not even expecting something actually challenging here, folks, like "Use forms and render it server-side so you aren't paying the cost for dozens of RPCs" or "Use a streaming data protocol." I just want you to be okay at your job.)

Hey web developers, this may seem like a dumb question, but when I was a young warthog you would link to a directory (just a simple "a href"), and if that directory had an index.html page it would assume that's what you wanted. Now I'm just getting one of those "Index of" pages (with that index.html page visible!) is it because it's running locally instead of a proper web server? Has this just overall changed and I didn't know? #programming #html #development #webdevelopment #webdevelopers #web

“Death To Icon Fonts” (2015)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xXBYcWgCHA

What's your opinion as a #WebDev today?

Did you find a way to address the issues presented while keeping #IconFonts?

Basically:
1. When our friends with #Dyslexia overrides your fonts, font icons turn into black boxes since the font they're using doesn't have support for those Unicode code blocks.

2. When screenreaders, or voice assistance, reads a site with icon fonts, they read the icon fonts really weird.

For No.2, a site with properly marked aria labels, or marked as hidden for assistive tech, is the solution I can think of.

However, for No.1, I can't think of a way since once the browser forces the user font, all fonts on the site will rely on the user's custom font.

The only other way I can think of is to provide an option to switch the site's font right from the website, so they don't have to override the site's font.

What's your solution?

#Designers #WebDevelopers and #UI experts of Mastodon and beyond: I need your advice, please.

This is https://OpenMentions.com - a site I manage. The purpose is to be a hub for discussion and conversation via technologies like #WebMention and #activitypub

The more I look at the #design, the more I feel that it lacks. I can't say what that lack is.

Please offer me your opinions and insights on ways I might raise the bar on UI and clarity of purpose.

(Boosts for reach are most welcome).

#protip for #websitedesign and #webdevelopers : review the pages you have designed / developed using a #screenreader or #immersivereader , and make sure those convey your actual content.

Today I was hoping to read some advertorial about cool gadget gifts nobody thought of before that editor listed them. Of course it's bull shyte, but what's worse is that the page HID the editorial from the readers, and instead gave me a disclaimer. I thought I had clicked the wrong ad!
