The wait is over. HTML for People is OUT NOW!
I feel strongly that anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This web book will teach you how to do just that. It doesn’t require any previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.
And it’s free for all. 🚀
I made a ton of progress over the weekend. It’s looking like HTML for People will go out this weekend or sooner!
@bw I hate that I am no longer on a folder-a-files, but I'm trying to be faithful to Bear. It just seems like the simplest to use.

Some things I learned about web accessibility at MagnoliaJS: https://storyware.co/reflecting-on-accessibility-at-magnoliajs-2023/
CodePenLearned from a Roman Komarov blog post (https://blog.kizu.dev/input-range-thumb/) that you can attach a `view-timeline` to a range inputs slider thumb! Whaaaat. (Chrome Canary w/ Experimental Web Features flag on).
Observation: Range Input’s Thumb and Emerging CSS
Today would be a quick “observation”, but a longer prelude. I did stumble upon what I’ll elaborate on today back in June, but for several reasons I did not share or write about this. Today, I saw Adam Argyle’s CodePen, and first forked it, using that technique, and now I’m writing about it as a way to share my observations more widely.
“I’m not watching a horror movie tonight but I *am* doing a website migration which is its own kind of horror.”
TIL how to use Cloudflare Workers and Cloudflare Pages. Hilariously I deployed a home-cooked app that is only used by me and @mhilltopple.
But hey, at least it’ll be lightning fast if we happen to find ourselves on the other side of the world.
