Damn. In all their desperation, they’re all falling for those #a11y overlays now. 😔
Sounds like Hans had a lot of fun with his synths again doing the F1 movie soundtrack … 😁

TFW you build a site with @getkirby and web platform standards (== semantic HTML, modern CSS, a little bit of JavaScript, and a dash of ARIA) and you look at Lighthouse for the first time …
Looks like industry best practices actually work. (Sorry for using my platform to ruin anyone’s day. 🥰) 🍋
aaaaaaaaaa! There it is!
My friend @koeberlin’s brand new typeface Tausend is out. So, so good … 😍
Oh wow! Beyerdynamic is being acquired by a Chinese company called Cosonic. Feels very AKG-esque, but of course, “nothing will change.”
☕️ I can drink coffee all day, also in the evening, and fall asleep without any problems (although my sleep quality might suffer).
🧉 But give me a cup of mate, and I’ll be wide awake until 3 am. 🪩🕺
😂
Let’s just for a second – purely hypothetical, of course – suppose there was a podcast where some random guy talks to people from the web community about their personal websites and what they’re curious and passionate about.
Who would you love to see as a guest? 🤔
I have no clue how to play in a band, how to record and track, let alone mix a track. But I love music and I could listen forever to Rick Beato interviewing Eric Valentine about every little detail of his productions – this guy really knows and loves his stuff! Incredible! 😮 #music #audioengineering
“Head of Algorithms”
What a job title. 🧙✨😁
And no, it’s not Figma Sites. 😁
That’s Squarespace.
Wow, that body is …… classy?! 😅 #bestpractices
That escalated quickly. ☺️
🍿👀🤗
👀 We’re getting there …
This episode was incredibly good! It’s super interesting that HTML imports would actually be possible (and also that they might be called <rupert> – and include lazy loading)! Thank you guys! 👏

🤩 The latest Safari 26 Beta does not disappoint in terms of #CSS features:
⚓️ Anchor Positioning!
🪄 Scroll-driven animations!
🌯 text-wrap: pretty!
🌈 contrast-color()!
⏲️ progress()!
and more!
And this sentence: “We value the principles of progressive enhancement and separation of concerns.” 😉
Great work, @jensimmons and everyone else involved! 👏

It’s really about time for #RTJ5, don’t you think?
👉🏻🤛🏿
But the good news is that it’s also #MassamanDay 😋
I just realized that today is #CSSYesterday.
Working on a few rough ideas for the redesign of my personal site (– this time for real! 😂) and I think I might be up to something here … 🤔🎛️
I have no idea how to make such knobs accessible, though … 🤔 Maybe range sliders as fallbacks under the hood?
Also, just look at those numerals by @koeberlin 😍
What I’d give to be in Josh Johnson’s head rn 😁🍿
Alright, so … #CSS!
If you’re posting all of the life lessons from your best-selling book using AI-generated illustrations and images, I can’t help but think you might have written huge parts of that book with AI as well… 🤔
It makes me really happy to see that already more than 1.5k people watched my talk from last month’s @btconf on YouTube! 🥳🙏 I take it as a sign that it was useful to many of you and that real-world, independent conferences are still valuable and relevant – just like the long tail of YouTube when it comes to the visibility and impact of conferences. I’m so glad I can contribute to @marcthiele’s wonderful event and to the community this way! 💚
