Was trying to get better with web components so tried to resurrect an old flash project. I was using AI to assist, but I think it took me down some bad path, so need to clean this up more; but its already Xmas so its good to put something out. https://www.lights.cards/

sup is like Facebook Messenger, but for the fediverse.

Connect all of your fediverse accounts on one app, and connect with people on other platforms or protocols, like IRC.

@slightlyoff cheers the stickers arrived!

All right folks, it's time. #React et al. are once again in #WebDev crosshairs with big essays flying back and forth touting the pros or the cons of this whole approach.

Well here's my entry for @vanilla, and it's a doozy! 😅

Who would win? Thousands of lines of code that require specialized training to learn, operate, and maintain built atop a tech stack that changes its main paradigms every ~4 months, or a humble `href` attribute? https://www.matuzo.at/blog/2023/single-page-applications-criticism/
Why I'm not the biggest fan of Single Page Applications

Sometimes it seems like accessibility experts and other web professionals hate JavaScript. This might be true for some, but most understand that JavaScript can be useful for improving UX and even accessibility.
