The extra markup is usually worth it. AVIF support is already at 63%, with Firefox coming soon. So ~40% of people will get a few more HTML bytes, but 60% of people might profit from a bigger saving on images.

I've made the same experience: AVIF images sometimes look strange in Firefox (AVIF support behind a feature flag), but they look good in Chrome. I think Firefox might use the OS AVIF decoder, because the images also look strange when I

Yes, AVIF encoding is quite slow. Are you caching/storing the images? Converting 200 images will take a few minutes, but it should be a one-time process, from which other people will benefit.

I have some of my interesting debugging stories piled up on my blog drafts. One of them was the issue "script not triggered when opened in a new tab". And indeed, there was a 3rd party script on our page that was triggered on ever

It's a trade-off. GitHub comments are free and rather easy to set up and maintain. If I had a highly developer-centric blog or even a blog supporting an open-source project, using GitHub as comments is a perfectly fine solution. But su

Honest question: What separates your tool from the rather established Disqus premium alternatives? Remarkbox, JustComments, CommentBox, HyperComments, GraphComments, FastComments, Hyvor Talk and ReplyBox? Some of those have been around for

Just to clarify what "a long time" means for Glosa: It's been available for around 1 year now.

I'm maintaining a list of commenting systems [1]. It's great to see more alternatives coming up every few months. I've just updated the list with 3 new projects from this thread. [1] https://darekkay.com/blog&

Yes, unfortunately there are many accessibility issues with Hacker News, insufficient contrast ratio being the biggest problem: https://darekkay.com/evaluatory/demo/4.html

Too bad AVIF images are still not supported (only behind a feature flag). Hopefully they will be able to solve the last bugs [1] that prevent this feature from being shipped. [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=

I've once learned a method to fold my headphones cable that I cannot find anywhere online. You fold the cable in half, twist the cable lengthwise (imagine turning in one direction on a swing), fold the cable in half again and then twis

There are also tools that check your HTTP headers. While securityheaders checks for Permission-Policy being used, I can imagine it will be improved to check for the "interest-cohort" value in the future. - https://secur

Inoreader lets you follow websites that don't provide an RSS feed. But it's a premium feature.

There's a similar project: https://tiny-helpers.dev/ You can subscribe via RSS to learn about new tools.

Not OP, but I've been keeping a "journal" repo for the last 4 months. There's a single dev.md file in there, where I separate each entry with "---". Whenever I encounter an issue or learn something new, I docum

I'm using Static Marks, a tool I wrote. I consider the slightly increased effort of adding new bookmarks a feature, so there's a low noise ratio. https://darekkay.com/static-marks/

Using git submodules might work, but it's not very convinient in my experience. I'm now thinking about having a GitHub Action in my private repo that pushes all public posts into a separate public repository automatically

It's free, easy to integrate, many people already have an account. Those were the reasons for me. But in the end, the drawbacks were enough for me to remove Disqus.

I've started collecting different ways to include blog comments a few years ago [1]. After using Disqus for several years, I've removed the comments on my blog and link to social networks instead (mostly Twitter and Mastodon). [1]
