I saw this while browsing the wordpress hashtag and was reminded of the massively increasing problem of Internet sustainability. We tend to only think about crypto mining, streaming media or AI generative tools but slow, inefficient websites contribute to this too. Let's make more effective, fast, simpler websites that do the job of information delivery and findability. #sustywp#wordpress#carbonfootprint#webdev

Web Developer friends, is there a quick way to determine if a web page is using React? I'm hoping I can just pop open the dev console and look for something specific that's a dead giveaway? #webdev#react
I created this #ADHD timer web app for my kid to help him stay on track while getting dressed, doing homework, etc. It can do simple countdowns of 5, 10, 20, or 30 minutes. It can also do an alternating 10 minutes of study with 3 minute break timer. Also, it can hoot at you every 30 seconds because of course it can. Free to use for anyone who finds it helpful. #neurodivergent#webdev
It’s almost the end of April, but despite a very busy month, I still managed to write down a blog post, even if it’s a bit more of a documentation-entry for myself. Perhaps some of you will find it useful!
🔵 Learn WebGPU
by Élie Michel @exppad
This documentation walks you through the use of the WebGPU graphics API to create native 3D applications in C++ from scratch, for Windows, Linux and macOS. #WebGPU#3D#app#Learning#webdev#ComputeShader#WebGPU
@wikipedia Wikipedia should underline its in-article links. Often these are long noun phrases with two or more links in them, and you can’t know which words are links without hovering.
I know removing underlines has been basically de facto design on the web for the last 20 years, but it is bad for usability.
Hey #WebDev people... Do you know of any good examples of sites that deal with large volumes of page content, but AVOID the "mega menu" UI system - such as the one here https://www.matalan.co.uk/
I'm of the opinion that they're terrible for performance, hard to use (especially hover triggered), hard to design for flexibility and versatility, and should be avoided.
Amazon's "All" sidebar is better; but what other systems have you seen?
A very well written article, that argues why it is the best time to invest in Web Components rather than anyone else's flavor of the month Front End Framework.
「 I had "separated my concerns", but there was still a very obvious coupling between my CSS and my HTML. Most of the time my CSS was like a mirror for my markup; perfectly reflecting my HTML structure with nested CSS selectors.
My markup wasn't concerned with styling decisions, but my CSS was very concerned with my markup structure.
Maybe my concerns weren't so separated after all 」

Habe vor ein paar Tagen hier gelesen, dass einige Entwickler Gitea nutzen, um öffentliche GitHub Repos zu sichern, da so ein Repo auch mal schnell verschwinden kann. Wird halt ärgerlich, wenn man so Dependencies im Projekt hat.
Leider ist mir eben nur aufgefallen, dass diese Dependencies ja auch wieder Dependencies haben können.
Vielleicht sollte man eher den vendor und node_modules Order regelmäßig sichern.
Könnte auch weiter hoffen, dass so eine Situation nie passiert...
I finally got around to posting on my blog (it's been too long), with my retrospective on PyCon, as well as how I somehow (accidentally?) became a co-maintainer of an open source project.
The new project is another one of those "awesome" lists.
I'll probably write more about it at a later time, but if you have a passing interest in Python-based web design sans JavaScript, you may want to check it out.
The repo is a curated collection of Python packages using the PyHAT 🐍 🤠 stack (or some variation of it).

If you're looking for a declarative way of creating web apps, this may be for you!
Just had a go with https://github.com/Juerd/tootpick for adding a mastodon share button to a @getkirby website I am working on as suggested by https://spreadmastodon.org First site using Kirby after years on another CMS and I am loving the way it works. Tootpick looks very professional as well. #webdev
Day 39 of #100daysofcode#webdev is done, and it was again all about the four different kinds of loops in #javascript in action. The sheer amount of helper constants is kind of overwhelming for me, and I think I'll have to repeat some of the lectures before moving on. Day 40 up to day 40 are a milestone project, so I will find out quite quickly how well I understood all the control structure stuff...
Finally realized I should be using dictation more for inputting text.
Having previously used Chrome "Speech Recognition" API for voice-to-text in websites. I'm both surprised and disappointed that the accuracy of MacOS's built-in dictate feature is noticeably worse than Chrome's.
What happened to the Apple that broke new ground with a revolutionary voice assistant? #accessibility#webdev#apple
I'm including in my project an abstraction layer for data access so that when I inevitably feel the need to switch to a different library (or database!), the code I'll need to change will be contained.
One option I'd tried was TS first, but couldn't represent all the column/indexing/FK relationships.
