Today, I looked into the nightmare hellscape that is #WinUI3/ #MAUI re: #a11y.

Immediate problem: There's a toolbox to insert controls, but otherwise no design view to be able to TAB through the control hierarchy.

Even with #IntelliSense, writing out ass loads of #XAML and #CSharp by hand is ridiculous!

All that boilerplate code is exactly something that AI *should* be able to help with. Too bad there's so much capitalism.

Tl;dr: Do you want a #WinUI3 app? Write 75% of the GUI code by hand.

New Kitten feature: Icons!

You can now make use of a subset of the icons in the Phosphor icons set by @minoraxis and @rektdeckard.

https://kitten.small-web.org/reference/#icons

Search through them in your editor by referencing `kitten.icons.categories` and `kitten.icons.tags`.

Add this to a file called index.page.js and run `kitten` to see a large duotone pink cat (because why not?):

export default function () {
return kitten.html`
<${kitten.icons.c.Cat}
size=40%
weight=duotone
colour=deeppink
/>
`
}

(And yes, the set includes icons for the fediverse. This one of the reasons I chose it.) ;)

Enjoy!

I love it!
Kate offers IntelliSense/code completion for PowerShell. In Ubuntu/PopOS. I was not expecting this.
