@matthiasott guten Morgen lieber Matthias! ☕☀️

Ich wünsche Dir alles Gute zum Geburtstag 🎊🎁🎈 und hoffe, Du machst heute etwas Schönes mit Deiner Familie - vielleicht sogar im Schnee? 🌨️❄️☃️

Bis bald hoffentlich ❤️

@svgeesus hey Chris, stumbled upon this article about the (sad) state of HDR in games and thought you might wanna read it too: https://wccftech.com/the-hdr-gaming-interview-veteran-developer-explains-its-sad-state-and-how-hes-coming-to-its-rescue/

Funny how vibe coding is basically cargo culting baked into code.

I really like the new FetchLater API - it doesn’t just keep a request alive after a page is gone like Beacon API does, but it also handles when to send it. Beacon leaves that to you, and no window event (beforeunload, pagehide, etc.) covers all cases - e.g. mobile minimizing suspends it. Plus, you can finally send JSON with application/json instead of text/plain. And it's easier to debug too! 🥳

Would love to see it making an appearance in Firefox and WebKit too, @jaffathecake @jensimmons ❤️

If you wanna stay up to date with what the web platform has to offer - and as a front-end dev you should - then Stefan's Web Weekly newsletter is *the* source to learn from. Week after week, Stefan tracks new platform features and articles and distills them into a handy, easy-to-digest newsletter ✨

@closingtag @maddesigns da kam die Golem Plus Werbung wieder. 😭

Could also be that there is less and less people left that still have a job (robots / AI):

This is going to be the last beyond tellerrand in Berlin for a while 👇

@hdv just read your post on workslop and I couldn't agree more! One thing I constantly run into are tickets written via AI that are either overly detailed or describe a task without taking into account the overarching picture (like project guidelines/design guidelines). I think they are good cue givers for writing tickets as they often come up with good points but you have to filter out and correct a lot.

Just learned about the ancient BarProp DOM interface which is supposed to tell you which browser bars are visible: https://mariani.life/projects/dommanual/dom/objects/BarProp.html

HTML trivia: WAI-ARIA 1.3’s aria-brailleroledescription (27 chars) is the longest non-data-* HTML attribute.

Runners-up: onwebkitanimationiteration (26), onsecuritypolicyviolation (25), onwebkitfullscreenchange (24), disablepictureinpicture (23), webkitallowfullscreen (21).

@zachleat wondering who's gonna give the next talk at @smashingconf 🤔

Why is it that Chrome is the only browser that ignores inputmode="none" on inputs?

I want inputs in freshly opened <dialog> elements to not trigger the soft keyboard right away on (auto)focus, but instead when the user signals that they want to enter something, e.g. by a tap on it.

Safari works ✅
Firefox on Android works ✅
Samsung Internet works ✅
Chrome shows the soft keyboard ❌
☹️

Do I really have to inject a dummy element with tabindex="0" before the first input for it to catch focus?

Interestingly, inputmode="none" seems to work here, when dynamically applied: https://codepen.io/mustaqahmed/full/gOYxLaL

What's going on?

@KrijnHoetmer Happy Happy Birthday dear Krijn!!! 🎉🎊🥳🎁🥂 I hope you enjoy a wonderful day ☀️ with your girls - be it at the allotment 🌱 or at the beach 🏖️.

@chrisstoecker das kann doch kein Zufall sein. Ist das, um AI Crawler aus dem Tritt zu bringen?

If you really wanna fuck up tab order, I suggest you try to nest reading-flow into reading-flow into reading-flow...

Woah, totally doesn't work anymore! 😅

@Chrome

2. when I wanna programm a focus trap, like a modal creates one, it is suddenly not enough to do a querySelectorAll('iframe, input:not([type="hidden"]), select, textarea, button, a, [contenteditable], [tabindex]:not([tabindex="-1"])). I now have to select all elements and filter them for being scroll containers by issuing a costy getComputedStyle(). it would be better if there was a :scrollable pseudo class or similar.

@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)

@iandevlin 👋🏻😊

@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?

Had a wonderful day attending A-Tag in Vienna. The (accessibility) talks were fantastic and it was a great pleasure meeting old and making new friends 👏🏻😍

@MadeMyDay @sir_pepe WTF!

We all should use the term "pollywoppus" more often. Especially to characterize politicians.

En route to Vienna along the beautiful river Rhine. ✨
