I thought this was like A WHOLE THING. "The boss level of accessibility tasks" and all that. News to me.
We just converted a non-<dialog> modal to <dialog> just to get the trapping, and I'm keeping it because it actually fixes a little bug I saw where a late-loading editor steals focus out.

Time for my big year end blogpost about the Atmosphere.
From the personal computing perspective, the cloud has been a disaster — but we shouldn't run away from it.
We can solve a lot of problems by connecting our clouds, turning it into atmospheric computing.

Atmospheric Computing
Cloud computing has been extremely successful, but it lost the values that drove personal computing. We can solve this by evolving forward.

There are countless websites that generate color palettes, but I needed a reusable package for my own apps. So I built dittoTones. 🟣
It mimics the perceptual DNA (Lightness/Chroma curves) of popular systems and blends them with your target hue → meodai.github.io/dittoTones/

I got mad at azure for moving from their old CDN and basically making me pay $20 a month for https so I moved to cloudflare pages. It was such a day and night experience. Cloudflare pages is so easy to set up. If you’re using Azure storage to host a static website, time to switch.

💥 did a small drawing explaining the JS execution model including the event loop. I hope it’s helpful to folks. Debugging is always easier when the underlying implementations are understood.

@adamgordonbell.bsky.social don’t sweat it taking time with your podcast episodes. Corecursive is a great podcast. Take some time for yourself and push that release date out. Hardcore history has a cadence which completely breaks the rules (months and months) and it’s still an unbeatable podcast.

For the longest time I shied away from low level programming. I always found it intimidating. It turns out it isn’t any harder than other programming. It’s just that everything written about it assumes too much. So here’s my attempt at an intro to machine code

Okay more of a Wordpress plugin add-on. It’s an extension to Powerpress to get you a cooler audio player embed than the default Powerpress player. I’d argue it’s cooler than the paid blubrry in some ways.
