@Amy_Hupe Oh Dear :( I upgraded to the XM4's and a few weeks back XM5's. Such good headphones!

FYI: I didn't ask ChatGPT the question, but I love the result!

Thus, Progressive Enhancement is a shining star,
A beacon of hope, in a web world that’s marred,
A way to build websites that all may share,
And make the web a place that’s just and fair.

With each layer, new features are revealed,
And yet, the website’s core remains unpeeled,
Accessible to all, no matter their device,
No user left behind, no matter the price.

At first, the website is built with simple means,
With plain HTML and CSS, so it seems,
But as the layers add on, like a rising sun,
The website grows in beauty and function.

"Explain progressive enhancement in the style of shakespeare"

Hark! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the concept of Progressive Enhancement,
That doth illuminate the web with its grace.

Forsooth, Progressive Enhancement is a noble goal,
To build a website with layers that unfold,
To ensure that all may access its content whole,
Be they on a phone or a screen vast and bold.

@bealmoon In my job role, I tend to look at the design a fair bit 🤣 and I still think it looks stunning even after so many years! So, I can see why it made waves when it was first made public.

@hbons great question! let me ask for you tomorrow! it sounds like it should be!

If you have driven in the UK, have you ever wondered why http://GOV.UK looks so familiar? Looking at these 2 slides, will explain why!

Note: not my work, these are from an excellent presentation by Charlotte L Downs
& Chris Ballantine-Thomas! 😍

There’s only one day left to find your pals on Mastodon via Twitter before the free Twitter API gets shut down. Even if you’re not planning on leaving Twitter, it’s probably worth doing it anyway.

Finally, it looks like Apple's customers will be able to benefit from actual browser choice and competition, which is bound to benefit the Safari team, iOS users, web developers and anyone who does business on the web.

A Historical Reference of React Criticism

https://www.zachleat.com/web/react-criticism/

There have been a number of criticisms levied at the React project over the years, some of them handled and some of them still wavering in the wind. In this post, I’ll summarize the ones that are most prominent in my memory as a way of maintaining a record (primarily for my own use but maybe you’ll find it useful too).
