@Chrome Q: starting with Chrome 132, you folks made scrollers focusable when they do not contain any focusable children. In practice that yields two problems for me:

1) to make certain areas not scroll through when a backdrop is visible, I create a pseudo element which cacthes scroll by makeing it scrollable and setting overscroll-behavior: contain. Problem now is that the parent element gets focus, even when it has focusable children itself (only the pseudo hasn't)

I don’t like starting sentences with I.

Hey all! For this month's IndieWeb Movie Club I encourage people to (re-)watch 1964's Mary Poppins! Especially for those of you with kids this might be a great movie to watch together. Despite being 61 years old I think it holds up very well.

I fall in love. Often. All the time. Not just with the usual suspects: film, music, books...but people. Strangers across the street, brief acquaintances, friends. And I don’t mean i...

When I woke up this morning, I thought that I wanted to try something new. Instead of my usual routine of reading, I spent some time trying on different outfits, seeing which one felt like the best for the day. I had washed and dried my hair well last night so this felt like ...

The default experience for opening an RSS or Atom file in Chrome and Firefox is for the browser to show raw XML. Sometimes, feed files download when you open the link instead of showing XML. In both cases, the user experience is less than ideal. A raw feed file is unintuitive...

@freddy hey and good morning! For some reason I came to think about the Sanitizer API and I wonder what the current status of it is. Do you know?

I love having long hair. But having long hair means you need to dry long hair. Without any plans this evening, I decided I would wash my hair and follow the routine I learned earlier this year. It does take more time, but when you have an evening without any plans what better...

I was trying to find my way. I was thinking my mind was made. goes the refrain in Big Red Machine, Fleet Foxes, and Anäis Mitchell’s Phoenix, a song that I have been listening to a lot this week. Listening to the song makes me both want to sing along with the same passion as ...

After a great chat with friends, I took my AirPods out and heard the birds singing. I think the chirps and tones are particularly pronounced in the evenings and the mornings. Or maybe that’s when I am most attuned to hearing them – in the moments when I wake up when I’m still...

I’ve been following the news of late, and it is particularly depressing. Professionally, one of the things I hate the most is that philosophy of tearing everything down and then figuring out how to rebuild it, instead of coming up with a thoughtful and well researched plan and then slowly and deliberately implementing it. Not even getting into their views on why or what should replace it, the current US administration seems to want to tear everything down instead of coming up with a plan and then carefully executing.

When I think about designing my site, I ask myself: what do I want to explore? What themes are on my mind? What values do I want to bring into the design? How can I express those values with colour and imagery and layout? With every new page I design, I learn something new – ...

Recently I realised that I have coded things that I use every day. I use my web reader every day to follow along with blogs. I am increasingly using my edit button extension to edit web pages on sites I maintain. I use my website every day. In the middle of making something,...

I love finding new links to read. I especially love exploring lists of links. But I struggle to publish lists of links myself. When I’m exploring the web, I get immersed in reading and taking notes and navigating between websites. Publishing link lists is a discrete step. I...

the joy of: Evening conversations with friends. Making someone laugh while waiting for a coffee. Hearing a song that you haven’t heard yet written by an artist whose music you love. Someone waiting and holding the lift door open for you. Being reminded about an old project while chatting with a friend. Seeing art in surprising places. Humming a song you love. Hearing the birds sing on a warm spring day. The first coffee of the day. Hearing someone say “have a great day!” Seeing a fuschia-coloured car. Eating a good cookie.

The joy of looking out the window and seeing a beautiful sunset. The sun has set at the intersection of two hills. I am not sure I have seen the sun set at exactly this angle, at this time. A colorful pink hue paints the nearby sky — some clouds on the periphery have a faint lavender tint. The birds are singing. I feel relaxed. I tried to take a picture but my phone can’t express the colours. The world is too pretty.
