Working through thousands of web dev articles from the 2000s, it’s so interesting to see how different the world was back then:
Discussions about standards, XHTML, liquid design, XML, blogging, &c. pp.
The topics were almost *entirely* different from what is discussed today—and while that is fair and fine in many cases, in some, I believe it bites us (as with conformance-checking as a baseline quality practice).
Just sharing the impression, but Frontend Dogma makes exploring all of this easy:
Question for experts: What's a good CMS that connects with git and can handle asset heavy (photo+video) pages for a non-technical person?
I'm interested in Astro as the base. It is a simple 2-3 page website and I would prefer a non-steep learning curve.
#web #webdev #softwareengineering #programming #javascript #askfedi
Anyone have recommendations on minimalist / lightweight #WordPress themes that support #WooCommerce and translation out of the box? It’s for a flower shop, if that influences the answer.
Not even sure where to begin in this swamp 😅
I'm looking for something relatively turn-key, as my client doesn't have the budget for a proper custom theme.
(I’m interested in Avanam but not for this project).
Thankfully I got my housing situation sorted for September. I was able to negotiate a month-to-month lease on my apartment which is gonna buy me a little time – next step is to figure out how much. 😬
I’m still looking for roles in #webdev including support and QA roles. Or really anything #remote in the United States.
Boosts appreciated. 🙏
🦸♂️ Animating CSS border-image

Border images are an overlooked feature. One neat fact is that border image slices can run across entire borders on an element, and animating it creates beautiful effects.Preethi (CSS-Tricks)
@workingdraft Hi. Ich schwitze seit einiger Zeit über folgendem Problem.
- Ich bau eine schöne Web-App.
- Die liegt auf einem Server der mir nicht gehört.
- Und speichert Daten auch irgendwo cloud.
Gibt es eine Trick, dass der Browser die Web-App auf Integrität prüft, um sicher zu gehen, dass der Serveranbieter mir mein Javascript nicht verseucht hat?
Soweit ich weiß, gibt es das nicht. Aber: kennt ihr irgendwelche Bestrebungen in dieser Richtung?

Need help with my dad’s website.
Originally I created it in Netlify but I no longer have access to that account because I lost my credentials as well as no longer having access to the email associated with that account.
The domain name was purchased and hosted through Hover, which we do have access to.
My dad hired a friend to make him a new website and their IT person is saying he we need “root access” to Netlify to get rid of his old website without breaking his email (M365).
I feel like this is incorrect because DNS is controlled by Hover, not Netlify. We can log in to Hover, change A and CNAME records to point to the new Wordpress site/server and leave the MX and related records alone, correct?

A couple of days ago, currentwildfires\.com was shared, and then some scorn was poured on it:
- that it is “slop”
- that it is inaccurate.
I’ve had a little time to look at it and briefly at the source code. Here’s what I’ve found:
- It seems to be built with astro.build by a developer in Buenos Aires: icaweb.dev/#contacto
- I see no obvious signs of LLM use, but maybe I haven’t looked carefully enough
- It says it’s pulling data from good sources…

I wanted to inspect a raw HTTP request but body was encoded. `mitmproxy` to the rescue!
I tried both the GUI, `mitmweb` and `mitmproxy` the TUI. The TUI was really a first-class experience with mouse and color support and easily discoverable commands.
The only thing I noticed in my first impressions that the web view did better was prevent some regex syntax hints.
A useful tool in a #webdev toolbox!
Gibt es einen CSS Trick um eine Gruppe von Buttons in ein Menü zu verlagern sobald der horizontale Platz nicht reicht? Am besten je Item.
Also wenn drei Buttons Platz haben, diese darstellen und die anderen in einem Menü?
Buttons verstecken die im overflow in einer zweiten Zeile landen, könnte man ja mit einer festen Höhe. Aber das Menü...
Vielleicht hat ja jemand einen Tipp.
Danke!

I've been working on setting up a #photo gallery #website to show off my late dad's work, as part of my efforts to organize and #backup family photos.
Here's what I have so far, I wanted to mimic a real photo gallery with #HTML and #CSS and figured out how to implement a horizontal layout with scroll snapping and decent image scaling.

For now, it's best viewed on desktop or other large viewport.

What It Means to Shift Left on #Accessibility and How to Do It Right
"Shifting left on accessibility means baking inclusive design into the earliest stages of your project—before development even begins. The term comes from software development lifecycles, where early-phase activities like planning and design are on the "left" of a project timeline.

I'm not certain about the background watermark. It _is_ on brand though.
Where did I get it? It's Clipart.

The time period the story is set in is only 2'000 years after the first civilisations had formed, but given that they live in a desert world inside an hour-glass the size of Earth, it's fair to assume they'll have computers in the distant future (plenty of silicon available), and when they do, there will be #Encarta!

Anyone have a trick for laying out images with #CSS which will
1. Preserve aspect ratio without cropping
2. respect max-width and max height simultaneously
3. support portrait and landscape images
I'm trying to build an image gallery which will mimic a physical art gallery wall, so it will scroll horizontally with each image inline. The images should neither be wider than the viewport or taller than a set viewport height percentage.

Over the weekend I took a leap forward in my fluency with IntersectionObserver – which is ironic for a bloke repeatedly muttering about wanting to get out of tech.
Anyway, I thought I’d share what I learned in a Pen, and then came up with the idea of writing some thoughts on our wider predicament as a way of sneaking politics into a learning space.
I began making something and sketched out an outline and initial section, but now think I’ll do something more conventional

Found this by accident: cssQuake - Quake running in the browser, rendered entirely as HTML/CSS 3D geometry via PolyCSS.
No WebGL, no canvas - the geometry is actual DOM nodes you can inspect in devtools while playing.
What used to choke on weaker hardware decades ago now runs as pure CSS layout/paint.
Open source on GitHub too.
Have fun!

A quiet accessibility one: the silence after I do something. I submit a form, save a setting, add to cart, and a Saved message appears. With a screen reader, nothing, so I am guessing whether it worked. On checkout that means submitting twice. WCAG 4.1.3, Level AA: put the message in a live region, role status or role alert, and it gets announced.

AI coding tools don't default to accessibility. They generate fast, functional code that passes visual review and fails a screen reader. The accessibility decisions still require a human who actually understands what they're doing, and that's not going to change by prompting harder.

…I have a #webDev suggestion.
As the gap grows between the ground that developers can reasonably cover and the ground that exists, and things like Reader mode fail for undiscernible reasons, devs should offer users lower-fi options like
- View this with basic styling
- View this with no styling
- View this without JavaScript
This is straightforward to do.
It’s a concept which @jimniels calls ‘fidelity’ options
