Vibe coding is not a new thing. I've been using Xcode's "Fix All Issues" for like 15 years (probably the current generation of vibe coders was still binge watching paw patrol back then). Gets you the same results: the errors are gone but nothing really works.

Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

Don't mess with zooming on a website.
Don't mess with scrolling.
Don't mess with default cursors.
Don't mess with the default Tab order.
Don't mess with copy and paste.
Don't mess with right click.
Don't mess with the back button in the browser.
Thank you.

@knowler HTML still rulez D00d

@jensimmons CSS-Tricks the way it used to be @csstricks

There are good ideas and there are bad ideas. Putting your floating labels* _below_ the respective input field is a _bad_ idea because it's confusing af.
I made two mistakes while filling out this otherwise relatively simple form because of the label placement.

* another bad idea.

Bus stops have e-ink displays now, wow! Thought this was just printed paper then I saw the date and time on it then had to double take

@stroughtonsmith Hopefully something like the microphone indicator at the top of the screen

@pixelambacht oh maybe the file from the CDN *will* be cached, but that cache will only be used with the site that requested it. So another site using the same cdn css will load it again.
I think that’s what led me astray.

@pixelambacht my understanding was that only files from the same origin will be cached because privacy but I can’t find a source right now.

@matuzo super happy about the return;

@konsonantenboy @jensimmons Reader Mode is driving me insane
