CSS Day 2024

A genuinely inspiring event.

Whoever invented round checkboxes (!) has no justification but "I think squares are ugly".

Making things "nice" is why we can't have nice things.

As I'm doing my first WCAG 2.2 A/AA audit this week, I love Polypane's target selector cursor thingy, which makes the cursor the size a target needs to, so you can find successes/fails quickly.

I’m amazed by people who keep using new, "free", VC funded apps without a clear business plan.
For instance, when I read these "Our Team" and "Support" sections I read another privacy disaster waiting to happen. Another product you like to use, that will be sold to any data hungry corporation in the future. Why do people keep on using and promoting such "businesses"?

The Browser Company | Building Arc

We’re building a better way to use the internet, starting with your browser. Let go of the clicks, clutter, and distraction with Arc.

Anyway, the discussion on HN is fascinating. Give it a read: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35458974
