The TAG review of <portal> seems pretty damning at the moment:
“Mozilla’s Position on Web Packaging”
I used to be in favour of Web Packaging but the damage it will cause by enabling a Google landgrab far outweighs the benefits
“Cake or death: AMP and the worrying power dynamics of the web”
“Akin to a street robber that has convinced himself that people just randomly like giving him their money”
“If only we’d known, say the people who knew – Carrie Marshall: Bigmouth Strikes Again”
“The difference between keyboard and screen reader navigation – Tink”
Like Patreon but for open source dev. GitHub integration is an obvious plus. Uses ACH transfers for payment so it might be more international dev friendly than many of its competitors.
“inessential: Still Fearing the Reaper”
“Because bringing UIKit brings no new power.”
“Panic Blog » Announcing the Playdate® handheld video game system.”
Sounds like a fun little device.
“Internship Opening at Pressbooks - Pressbooks”
Paid and in Montréal.
“ReaderWriterLinks - ReaderWriterVille”
“The upside is that a lot more authors can break through. The downside is that the cultural space is fragmented and so is the discourse.”
“My views on this are centrist”
Buh-byyyyeeeeee.
“Accessible Icon Buttons — Sara Soueidan – Freelance-Front-End UI/UX Developer”
“Contextually Marking up accessible images and SVGs - scottohara.me”
“Understanding the Kano Model — A Tool for Sophisticated Designers”
“Go is Google’s language, not ours”
This is Google standard operating procedure and applies to so many more of their OSS projects.
“Money on the Table: Opportunities Missed in the eBook Supply Chain”
What he said.
“The Modern Trap of Feeling Obligated to Turn Hobbies Into Hustles”
Going from Raskin’s Humane Interface to Bolter’s Writing Space is jarring. Raskin’s writing is intellectual and research-oriented but always precise and always focused on practice.
Meanwhile Bolter’s is full of so much academic bla bla bla and citation posturing.
A day off. Good coffee. Reading books. Pretty good so far.
Been spending re-reading a couple of interactivity design/UX classics:
- Raph Koster’s A Theory of Fun for Game Design is of its time. At worst harmless. At best inspiring
- Jef Raskin’s The Humane Interface is amazing and surprisingly timeless
“24 Hours with TypeScript – hueniverse”
“I was constantly surprised just how immature the TypeScript ecosystem is.”
I keep running into the same thing whenever I try TypeScript.
