On-brand Valentine’s Day card anyone 🤣
FYI: I didn't ask ChatGPT the question, but I love the result!
Thus, Progressive Enhancement is a shining star,
A beacon of hope, in a web world that’s marred,
A way to build websites that all may share,
And make the web a place that’s just and fair.
With each layer, new features are revealed,
And yet, the website’s core remains unpeeled,
Accessible to all, no matter their device,
No user left behind, no matter the price.
At first, the website is built with simple means,
With plain HTML and CSS, so it seems,
But as the layers add on, like a rising sun,
The website grows in beauty and function.

"Explain progressive enhancement in the style of shakespeare"

Hark! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the concept of Progressive Enhancement,
That doth illuminate the web with its grace.

Forsooth, Progressive Enhancement is a noble goal,
To build a website with layers that unfold,
To ensure that all may access its content whole,
Be they on a phone or a screen vast and bold.

If you have driven in the UK, have you ever wondered why http://GOV.UK looks so familiar? Looking at these 2 slides, will explain why!

Note: not my work, these are from an excellent presentation by Charlotte L Downs
& Chris Ballantine-Thomas! 😍

Welcome to GOV.UK

GOV.UK - The best place to find government services and information.

There’s only one day left to find your pals on Mastodon via Twitter before the free Twitter API gets shut down. Even if you’re not planning on leaving Twitter, it’s probably worth doing it anyway.
