Can you link to this please? Intuitively it seems every Core Web Vital would be improved by less code. I found this post [1] but it seems a but outdated and references AMP, which Core Web Vital metrics are supposed to replace (right?). htt

Fair gripes, although bikes have "dealerships" too that will typically help you select and maintain your steed. The problem with lighted turn signals is that motorists don't expect them, and don't look for them. Pointing

Do you understand what a "class" is in HTML? Do you understand that the class "commtext" doesn't appear anywhere in the source code for HN? The comment colors are controlled by classes like "c00" etc. Chro

Yes, a custom CSS theme is easy to make, for web developers. https://pastebin.com/aMYiGr05 It's not for my friend, who's a contractor. He finds working with concrete to be easy though. I don't. Being inaccess

Agreed, it's not accessible; if you write your own accessible theme, it will have an accessible theme. Your apartment building doesn't have a wheelchair ramp? That's on purpose. If you don't agree with it it's tri

Reddit had large, high-contrast text and tap targets. Downvoted comments did not have their color contrast reduced. If we're getting specific, HN does not look that similar.

There's "bad design" (subjective) then there's "fails to meet accessibility standards" (objective). HN would not pass WCAG 2.0 AA for a large number of reasons. Tap targets and illegible text being big ones. It

This is known as "cognitive accessibility" and often neglected. MDN has a good writeup on it and mentions ADHD specifically. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/C...

I write CSS everyday and I had no idea what "fs" meant. "fz" is the typical shorthand used for font-size (at least by Emmet-style autocompleters). "fs" is used for font-style instead.

Can you believe a new iPhone 5 only included a 5W USB-A power adapter?! Compare that with an iPhone 10 5 years later, which came with a beefy 5W USB-A power adapter.

The vw introduces the accessibility bug. Your can add whatever other units to it you like, the issues remain.

Never use viewport-relative units (like vw) for text sizing, it is not a best practice for accessibility (part of the reason it's not in the examples here). Modern browsers handle zoom just fine, regardless of units. We use rem in cas

Shame they didn't research that before they bought $1.5 billion in BTC. Presumably they're donating all their profits from their BTC purchase to carbon offsets? Otherwise it's all worthless posturing.

Is anyone working on enterprise-level apps that see a significant number of conversions from IE11 right now? I'm surprised to learn a framework the size of Vue was still supporting it until now.
