“Semantics should be defined in HTML. And styles and visual affordances should follow from there.”
An incredibly thorough and important post by @SaraSoueidan about the current state of CSS carousel (in)accessibility. 👏
tl;dr – don’t use them (yet?)

Figma (Sites) creating inaccessible, non-semantic div soup? I’m not surprised at all. That’s basically the main point of the talk I just gave at #btconf. Figma is for painting beautiful pictures of websites. Not for making websites. We make websites with semantic HTML, declarative CSS, JavaScript for the things only JavaScript can do, and a bit of ARIA. That’s how this medium works. That’s the material.
I had an absolute blast designing the titles and festival identity for @beyondtellerrand.com! I digged deep into my love and early inspirations of web 1.0 / 00's design aesthetics. I channeled David Carson, DesignisKinky, k10k, Designers Republic and more to make a fun, visuallyOTT set of designs!

Weekly Roundup #012
Guten tag! I'm a few weeks late in writing a round-up, but I've had my nose to the grindstone the last few weeks getting the Beyond Tellerrand 2025 title sequence ready, and I'm very happy to say that the titles went well over in
Not only just brilliant getting to see @r8r.at again, but also honored by your write up of the event and my new talk. You picked up on so many of the themes I wanted to get across. Cheers mate! [contains quote post or other embedded content]
