Woohoo! As of today I am back in my prime! 🎉

I welcome guesses as to which prime number is the number of years I have completed on this Earth 😅🎈🎂

@joachim I guess for that I just tend to ask around :)

@joachim sounds great if everyone on the internet is safe, you have no stalkers and will never be doxxed.

I try not to broadcast when the house is likely to be empty either, not that people know my address (hopefully they don't anyway), but still.

Ugh. React doesn't like `popovertarget`, does it?

Looks like popover is not quite what I thought it was - I thought it would appear where it would have otherwise have shown up in the DOM anyway. Hmm hmmmm.

My main problem here is trying to make a tooltip be available inside a modal. The tooltip thingy in the headless component UI we're using ends up underneath the <dialog> modal.

So I need something that'll pop up on top, otherwise I'm going to have to use the component provided that doesn't use dialog.

I guess it's ok but bleh 😅

I remember a website full of photos of Americans holding up signs saying 'Sorry' after Dubya beat Gore.

That was when I first became aware of two USAs - the progressive, accepting, colourful, sexy, future-looking one, and the very religious and puritanical one, where fellow teenagers were taught only about abstinence.

There always were two. I guess there are these two camps - maybe split along different lines - in many countries and continents now.

I dunno. I'm just sad.

I keep reading article after article and opinion after opinion and I don't think it's helping. I guess this way I'm prolonging this whole election phase and delaying the acceptance of the result.

I'm not even American.

My heart is hurting for all American friends and strangers - many of whom are now in various levels of danger, for the world - given the things the guy himself has been promising to do, and for my children - who are new to this world.

I put them into it. 😢

@emmaDawsonDev good question. Arguably developers should be able to go change html and aria attributes without it being a large problem.

Lots of links to explainers? MDN? 😬

@emmaDawsonDev I would be very annoyed by that!

I'm sorry, America. I'm sorry for all of us.

It's not fully called, but now looks inevitable. The people have indeed spoken.

Europe will have to pull its socks up and reduce reliance on the US to save Ukraine.

...not that we're at all a unified block of like-minded countries either.

💜

I'm also really worried for all the female, trans, disabled, non-white and any other demographics of people who are considered less-than or even the enemy by this new US administration.

The world will find a way, but people are in danger, now.

Convinced my fellow front-end colleague in the new project we're setting up, that we can have a headless UI library, and an accessible one at that.

Whoopeeeeee, FINALLY I am spending work hours writing CSS!!! ✨🤩🎉

Have chosen to use Adobe React Aria Components for the gnarlier UI challenges. Happy!

Only took two years in the job, hahaha sigh...

@mayank oh I'm sure like many other things it's a bit heavily reliant on APG at times. I'll have to test some things through of course - and try not to automatically use their components if we don't have to.

@mayank @matovius if you can use an HTML native element and restyle that, do that first before using APG.

I feel like a thing was set up recently to show this and would be happy if anyone has a link - if not - should we have a report that says what web platform features have just moved to "widely available" (30 months since "newly available")?

I feel like a little feed website which shows things that have recently crossed this boundary, along with the date and what percentage "global usage" they have (from caniuse.com) would be great for people trying to decide whether something is safe for prod.

I just set up a SpaceHey: https://spacehey.com/sarajw

I love it exists. I remember joking about MyFace and SpaceBook or MyBook or SpaceFace and well, here it is.

It's not really set up yet. Needs tinkering. Add me!

@spacehey

Ooof just love that feeling of generalised stress without being able to pinpoint where it's coming from

Hello friends and users of @eleventy 🎈

Having seen a few curious non-developer beginners get far enough to launch the 11ty base blog, then find themselves a little disappointed by very few preset customisation options, I thought I would try to kickstart CSS themes made specifically for the base blog.

There are only two custom themes there so far, which are very rudimentary! We need moooorrrreeeee - please submit :D
