The next version of Deno will have a super fast JS/TS plugin API for the linter 🎉

Watch @lcasdev write a lint rule to ban string literals in <60 seconds.

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

Many users prefer to use an RSS feed reader to stay up to date with the content on the websites they visit. But if you've enabled Cloudflare on your website, you're likely blocking these RSS users from accessing your website content without realizing it. openrss.org/blog/using-cloudfl… #RSS #CloudFlare #WebDev


📣 ✍️ 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! 😸🔔

I love to see coding tutorials like this make the coder code for accessibility by giving them examples and stating up front they do not treat accessibility as an afterthought write-on.org/html/ #CSS #WebDev #HTML #Accessibility #A11y


Question for the Mastodon hive mind: Web design/development has never been my primary focus, and thus, my skills are about as good as someone in 2005, using notepad only, cobbling together HTML, CSS, PHP by hand, with no framework experience, Some how, I don't think that's going to fly in 2025. Can anyone please point me at some resources to update my design/development skills from a blindness perspective? I wonder if that even exists. Accessible IDEs, frameworks, all that stuff. #accessible #Blind #WebDev #WebDesign


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.

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.

"My anti-overlay client letter" — I'm often asked about accessibility overlays, and this is the email I send to clients when that discussion gets serious.

It may be helpful to others making the case against overlays and laying down the facts.

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.”

People on StackOverflow telling people to screw up #accessibility with the HTML dialog element defeats the purpose of using that element in the first place IMO.
