Whenever there's a supply chain attack, the "stop using CDNs for your dependencies!" croud come out in force. Perhaps CDNs would be less popular if I could use a #JavaScript library without installing Node, setting up a dependency manager, trying to resolve a project's dependencies, installing a different version of Node because I was using the wrong one, trying to resolve a project's dependencies again, working out which JS bundler is appropriate to use in 2024, giving up on that in favour of copying commands and JSON from some random Medium article, copying some commands and JSON from a different Medium article when the stuff from the first one inevitably doesn't work, and then going to bed having accomplished exactly nothing.
Just a thought. #webdev #webdevelopment
Compounding complexity in modern web development
I’d wager that most of the developers who build modern websites and web apps don’t start off thinking… I’m going to make this as complex as possible.gomakethings.com

Images without text alternatives is a huge problem. The issue is magnified when the image is a link. Realize that screen reader users receive no valuable information when the image wrapped with a link is missing a text alternative.
Ensure that all images, including those that act as link, provide appropriate text alternatives.

I am currently working on #accessibility in #forgejo. And I discovered a problem with focus where it is not possible to navigate the page with "tab", a dropdown makes the focus skip to the end of the page and you end up in a loop.
Can someone recommend ways or tools to debug focus in webbrowsers? I have a hard time to see how the focus skips there. Any hints are welcome.
Thank you.

Front end devs really don't understand accessibility
Yesterday, I discovered that quite a few of my articles have made their way onto Hacker News. And the conversations around them are actually, generally speaking, pretty good for what I generally expect from the site.gomakethings.com

Here’s my write-up of how I added client-side Fediverse-powered comments to my Jekyll blog using the Mastodon API.
Huge props to @jwildeboer for the initial inspiration, as well as @julian and everyone who provided feedback for inspiring the design improvements.

I designed the 12-bit rainbow palette for use in my data visualisations. It consists of twelve colours chosen with consideration for how we perceive hue, chroma, and luminance. The palette uses a 12-bit colour depth, so each colour requires only four characters when specified as a hexadecimal colour code in a CSS or SVG file. For more details, see iamkate.com/data/12-bit-rainbo…
