This toot is a reminder of the existence of progressive enhancement in web development.

Not only is it important for accessibility, it also provides added benefits in terms of backwards compatibility and better performance by some metrics.

May I just say so myself that I‘m loving playing with Kitten¹ to build Domain² (shown below) and Place³.

You asked, and I delivered. New blog post online:

"HTML link, or button, that is the question."

For the love of all that is holy, can you all please start using `<a>` for navigation and `<button>` for actions, not the other way around?

Please don't make me turn this into a blog post.

Signed, someone who couldn't right-click to "open in a new tab" when it mattered.

Hi everyone, I am now looking for full-time work! If you have a remote Software Engineer position available and work with #Frontend web tech (#HTML / #CSS / #JS / #TS / #React, etc), #NodeJS (or #Bun / #Deno ), #Kubernetes, or #Nix / #NixOS then please reach out! I love building tools to solve problems and delight users.

For examples of my previous work, links to my projects, and my resume, please see my website: https://jakehamilton.dev

Boosts very much appreciated!

@fosstodon Jump, jump, jump! Everybody loves content layout shift.

Really, @Gargron just happily releases this and nobody checks if it works? What happened to using multiple browsers to test? What happened to using CSS that works?

A data hoarder’s dream come true: bundle any web page into a single HTML file. 📦✨

I think we should start referring to the output of industrial React toolchains as "ultraprocessed HTML".

@jakintosh I kinda lost interest when #HTML5 came out and was presented as the pragmatic answer to the strictly validated #XHTML. With that we lost namespaces. Sure #RDFa introduced it somewhat, but in an ugly way. I was hoping the future would be <title><dc:title>My blog</dc:title></title>, where RDF would just be mixed in with #HTML. So yeah, also SVG embeds would have been namespaced when mixed in HTML docs. RDFa was supposed to be a pragmatic variant but made metadata a second class citizen. JSON LD is basically the old approach of linking outside for metadata, which is perhaps the worst… so I am now like. Call me when XHTML2 is a thing 😅
