> htmx, a disciple of hypermedia, available only in hardcover do not look for alternatives, has been manifesting itself into existence recently As a screen reader user with no way to read words written on paper (short of getting a scanner and spending hours on putting books through it), I have to look for alternatives. I hate it when authors do this. I get why, but it's still frustrating. There's also the fact that the author of this article decided to embed X posts as unlabeled screenshots for some unknown reason. This breaks accessibility, copy/paste, translations, flexible screen layouts and probably a bunch of other things I'm not aware of. Putting text in images is never a good idea, much less so when there's a perfectly fine embeds API for GOd's sake. I'm really saddened to see somebody who claims to care about web standards be so dismissive of accessibility concerns.

I don't know what they're talking about with "available only in hardcover". Hypermedia Systems is here: https://hypermedia.systems/ https://hypermedia.systems/ available in HTML online, ebook format, hardcover, or you could go to the github repo and probably transform the source into whatever format you want: https://github.com/bigskysoftware/hypermedia-systems https://github.com/bigskysoftware/hypermedia-systems X posts as screenshots suck though.

> htmx, a disciple of hypermedia, available only in hardcover do not look for alternatives, has been manifesting itself into existence recently I think this whole sentence was meant to be a joke. This "article" is filled with juvenile humor, random tangents, and twitter screenshots. The irony of complaining about people not properly using hypermedia while omitting some of the basic accessibility attributes of hyper text markup language (alt text) is astonishing.
