#PawFed is a project close to my heart. It's a collaborative map for animal welfare that bridges the #Fediverse and #OpenStreetMap.

The idea: mention @PawFed from your Mastodon account with hashtags and a location, and your report appears on the map. No signup, no app, just your existing Fediverse account.
It's not perfect yet, but the foundation is there. I will publish the source code soon under AGPL.

@gedankenstuecke Omg you should check out the Fandom wiki sites. I left just one tab unattended and my swap was ballooning.
I'm pleased to share with you the greatest advancement in bottom-sheet technology since the invention of elastic.

Diabetics need to be aware that certain lots of Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus continuous glucose monitors have been found to give incorrectly low readings. At least 7 deaths and 860 injuries have been tied to the devices thus far.

If you use one of these devices, Abbott will replace it with a fixed one for free. But you have to apply to get a replacement.

A manufacturing problem in millions of Abbott glucose sensors for diabetes patients has been tied to at least seven deaths and hundreds of injuries worldwide.

Here's a little CSS-only trick to store the info of whether an element was previously focused. 👏

@cferdinandi You make this very approachable, thank you! A lot of great advice
My favorite way to write code in 2026 (on becoming a TDD addict)

I’ve hated writing JavaScript tests for pretty my whole career. That thing where you plan a component, write some code, iterate it a whole bunch until it works the way you want… and then write tests that validate that the thing you’ve already validated does in fact do the thing you already know it does? Yea, that sucks. It’s also not what good testing looks like. Today, I write my tests first, and then write my code.

What happens when you derive an element's color from its inherited color in CSS?

@quicheindustries No trouble! Can't wait to see the progress you make with your app. It's really inspiring.
