I’m currently working on a project where the devs obviously had no idea about how to implement responsive images correctly. It’s a wild mix of faulty media, srcset, sizes, and size(?) attributes on img and source tags that really feels like guesswork. (This is now a 10-year-old technology, btw…)

What's the best article (or video, @kevinpowell? 😁) about responsive images you know?

My favs:
@mdn – https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Responsive_images

@eeeps – https://ericportis.com/posts/2014/srcset-sizes/

@grigs –

Sending out more of these today. Limited edition, signed and numbered. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Very much looking forward to @beyondtellerrand.com [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I’ll also be speaking at Thinking Digital just over a week later. thinkingdigital.co.uk https://thinkingdigital.co.uk

@kevinpowell And regarding the tab order/source order issue: did you see @rachelandrew‘s super interesting talk at @css__cafe, Kevin?
That might answer a few of your questions – and potentially also bring up new ones, for another podcast episode, maybe? 😉

@kevinpowell I fully (!) agree that it makes sense to name properties in a more familiar way, e.g. `item-wrap` instead of `item-cross` superceding `flex-wrap`. Tim Berners-Lee knew this as well when he created HTML: a lot of elements were already familiar to people using SGML. Make it as frictionless as possible for people to adopt new things, because, as @adactio would say, humans are allergic to change.

Loved this episode of @kevinpowell‘s podcast in which he thinks out loud about a new unified approach to #CSS layout that is currently emerging.

Actually, I took that photo a few days ago. That’s how that tree looks today… 🤯🌸

The OP-Z is going to feature pretty heavily in the Beyond Tellerrand titles, so I built a surround for it in LEGO so I can mount the GoPro onto it for live shenanigans!
