We Need to Talk About Anti-Web Coding Assistants
It's time. We can't ignore this massive threat to the continuing health of this platform we all love.
@vale has done a deep dive into what the bots think is the state-of-the-art of #WebDev and…uh, it's alarming. 😬
We can, *and we must*, expect better of the tools being thrust in our faces as the future of “whatever”.

🤔HTML semantics: <abbr> theory versus abbreviation reality
"The HTML <abbr> element is deceptively familiar and attractive, its been around forever (1999) and thus people assume that it does what it does and does it well. Nothing much changed over the iterations of the abbr element definition over the years."

Don’t Use aria-label on Static Text Elements
Don’t use the aria-label or aria-labelledby attributes on divs, spans, or other elements representing static/noninteractive text-level semantics, unless you’re also updating roles.Ben Myers

This, plus many other goodies, to land next week with Deno 2.2.

📣 ✍️ New #webdev blog post!
This one is special to me, partly because it took some time to cook 😅 , partly because I talk a bit about #ux (which is not my main field), and partly because it features an experiment: after talking about #webpush and #pwa with #django, I'm asking my dear readers (you 😉) to visit a small demo website and tell me how it went!
You can give feedback here, or on Lemmy, Lobsters, etc. I'll update the post with the links!
So here it is: david.guillot.me/en/posts/tech…
Enjoy! 😸🔔

New #webdev concept: The VNC test.
If viewing a website over a VNC session uses less data than directly loading it in a browser, it fails the test.

An overview of accessible web applications and widgets - Accessibility | MDN
Most JavaScript libraries offer a library of client-side widgets that mimic the behavior of familiar desktop interfaces. Sliders, menu bars, file list views, and more can be built with a combination of JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.MDN Web Docs
It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle.
We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.
Oracle has until January 4th to respond, or the case will go into default, which will result in the trademark being canceled.
It's time to #FreeJavaScript.

Not so short note on aria-label usage – Big Table Edition
“aria-label is one of a number of secondary methods to label native HTML UI elements. It works particularly well on interactive elements, it also works well on most block level elements old skoolterm that have explicitly or implicitly defined structural roles. It works less well or not at all on text level semantics.”
