You should check Glass[1], which focuses strictly on photography. It does cost some money, but I see this as an advantage. There is basically zero spam, zero self-promotion, no "algorithm", no ads. And it even has RSS, which is ho

I've created another open-source project which serves a similar purpose [1]. Unfortunately, I haven't been actively working on it for some time (although still using it daily). [1] https://github.com/darekkay/

There's a repo from danluu, collecting such debugging stories [1]. I've had my own peculiar bug: "Script crashes before 10 a.m." [2] [1] https://github.com/danluu/debugging-stories [2] https:/

Thanks, I like the approach! However, the light theme is not fully accessible. I've created an issue on GitHub: https://github.com/radix-ui/colors/issues/41

I would love to see such tools have some accessibility DX built-in. The idea is to define the color palette in such a way that we know whether a color combination is accessible just by looking at the color name. For example, using the USWDS

You can always get a first impression by checking a website with Chrome Lightroom. For Mantine, Lightroom returns a few ARIA and a lot of contrast ratio issues. NextUI is built upon React Aria, which indeed puts accessibility first. Nonethe

Ariakit is a Reakit successor, which already got the full score in my post. Ariakit looks as accessible as Reakit. I've updated my post accordingly.

From the "Accordion" component: > Is it accessible? Yes. It adheres to the WAI-ARIA design patterns. I've only checked the Tab component (as one of the more complex one from accessibility perspective), but the WAI-ARIA pat

With all the tools that I've gathered, I don't recall a single one that would support multiple providers. Sounds like a gap in the market ;) Enabling multiple comment providers shouldn't be a problem, e.g. by adding "Com

Getting an exact number is impossible, that's what I wrote in the linked blog post as well. But every RSS reader that requires user accounts knows the exact numbers, and 4 of the main readers expose those numbers via HTTP requests.

As you're asking for feedback: the components are not accessible. I've assessed a lot of UI libraries [1] and most of them have issues. You can start with running Lighthouse (Audit tab in Chrome) to get and fix at least all the to
