"iT cOUld bE an APp" – So could many things. But the UX brings novelty etc. that some people want to try Many people are looking for ways to get distractions off of their phones and be more intentional with what they're doing and that's fine. I'm here for it 💯 — jhey ▲🐻🎈 (@jh3yy) May 2, 2024

@lauriewired Isn't this like saying you could find the text of Alice in Wonderland online, and then "compress" it down to a URL? — Tib3rius (@0xTib3rius) May 2, 2024

@ryanflorence I disagree. This would make sense if there were wide confusion about how const works. Maybe it's there, but I haven't observed it. Using const over let breaks the reassignment habit. Mutating objects and arrays stand out much more when you're not reassigning everywhere. — David.tsx (@JustDavidG) May 2, 2024

@ryanflorence I dont have time to make a think piece on this, but I've found many Rails devs ignore accessibility, and React has access to some really solid accessible libraries and can offload a lot of accessibility. Automated checking for a11y in the editor / linting is a lot easier too. etc — Konnor Rogers (@RogersKonnor) Apr 29, 2024

@tjthedev @aarondfrancis And then using your logic that the cause is the developers who choose JS frameworks have more accessibility knowledge it stands to reason the framework authors and the ecosystem’s third party component authors likewise have more knowledge, and their tools will bake in as much as… https://t.co/htbkYNt5a5 — Ryan Florence (@ryanflorence) Apr 30, 2024

JS haters will also hate the facts. JS frameworks are the pinnacle of the accessible web In an audit of 1M websites by the company I trust most to survey accessibility: 1st image: Next.js is at the top spot, far above laravel 2nd image: Looking at Stimulus as a proxy for rails… https://t.co/06E2cA9mON https://t.co/eoepEJefAO https://t.co/ILqcJvwUDp — Ryan Florence (@ryanflorence) Apr 29, 2024

@mohjb If you believe that accessibility is a bottleneck then you're implying that caring about people is a bottleneck. What good is a "cool" UI if it's not usable? "GUI" stands for "Graphical User Interface". If you remove the "user", what remains? Mind you, accessibility isn't just… https://t.co/i3jGnEfLHA — Sara Soueidan (@SaraSoueidan) Apr 29, 2024

@natfriedman Ingest all relevant inputs (slack, email, whatsapp, etc.), pop in Airpods each morning, get ~10 min audio digest of what's important, take (small) actions conversationally during digest, start each day knowing where to dive in. — Ryan Delk (@delk) Apr 30, 2024

For *years* now, I've wanted to write a blog post about JavaScript Promises, but they’re so hard to explain. I think I've finally figured out how to do it. Getting really excited about this one. 😄 — Josh W. Comeau (@JoshWComeau) Apr 29, 2024

Talking to mom about the emotional investments of projects like these. "Of course there's an attachment. I'd always thought buildings would outlive me but they're tearing down my sports centre. The lifespan of an interior design must be even shorter." thanks mom 😭 — 「樂」 (@_Rakuji) Apr 27, 2024
