Very excited for all of the nice things Foundation Model access unlocks in iOS 26. Makes things like automatic tag suggestion in Crouton super smooth.

New blog post out (finally) ✨ I tested the dataviz accessibility of the 2024 presidential election dashboards, and (as expected) found a lot of issues to write about:

Dataviz accessibility principles, demonstrated by the 2024 presidential election dashboards. by Sarah L. Fossheim

I tested how well different election dashboards implemented common dataviz accessibility princples, and explained where things went wrong (including lots of demos).

This is a great example of why the web rocks. Safari and Chrome disagreed on the spec, so we ended up with a third, better spec. This wouldn't happen if one company controlled everything: https://webkit.org/blog/16587/item-flow-part-1-a-new-unified-concept-for-layout/
Item Flow, Part 1: A new unified concept for layout

CSS Grid and Flexbox brought incredible layout tools to the web, but they don’t yet do everything a designer might want.

This New Open-Source Alternative to Google Docs and Notion Is Backed by France and Germany

Docs is an web-based collaborative text editor that is the result of a joint effort led by the French πŸ‡«πŸ‡·πŸ₯– (DINUM) and German πŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺπŸ₯¨ governments (ZenDiS).

It's a good alternative to popular services like Notion, Google Docs and Outline.

The platform offers real-time collaboration capabilities, a sleek minimalist interface, and all the essential features you could possibly need.

Best of all, Docs is open-source on GitHub and can be self-hosted, making it a viable option for local agencies and companies.

You can test Docs on your browser by visiting this page:

https://impress-preprod.beta.numerique.gouv.fr/

using the login:

email: test.docs@yopmail.com
password: I'd<3ToTestDocs

You can also volunteer to help translating Docs to other languages here: https://crowdin.com/project/lasuite-docs

advice for students --

as much as it is important not to uncritically accept AI hype, claims of superhuman performance, AGI, etc.

it is also important not to uncritically accept that LLMs are useless b/c they are sometimes wrong, that all AI is terrible for the environment, etc.

stay rigorous folks!

And finally, take a first look at HTML export: With it, you can export a website from the same source code as your PDFs. HTML export is currently incomplete and experimental. It is only available on the command line, behind a feature flag.
