BTW, whenever @tigt is looking for work again, someone should hire him. He's proven he can build a fast ecommerce experience.

Can you help me out, mastodon? 🦣

I recall someone once writing in an article how shadows are supposed to be darker, so white shadows don't make sense even when we have a dark theme.

Does anyone else recall it? Can anyone help me find it again?

Boosts appreciated. Thanks!

2 thumb #slider: 2 range inputs, each tied to an output, all packed in a wrapper. No other elements, no images save for #CSS gradients. #JS only needed to update one CSS variable.

Bonus: #responsive + shape-outside fun! 🌟

Enjoy it on @codepen: https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/eYwjjWL

Inspired by a slider demo using divs not tied to the inputs to display the values and created the bars as individual divs via JS.

I reduced the #HTML needed for the slider by over 90% and the JS by 98%.

2 thumb slider: range input + CSS, no SVG

With popular websites like YouTube pulling stuff like THIS, I’m consistently surprised that screen readers (and other AT) don’t all suppress announcement of redundant `title` attributes that match link text

so many design systems out there and apparently none have a “danger” button with spiky borders, which is a real shame

I’m now in cartooning school and no longer care about webdev industry blowback, so I’ve started (slowly) publishing bits from the Streets series I had omitted for… reasons
