The Government of Canada’s Alternative text and long description guide has been a great reference for me when I write alternative text. Using screen readers occasionally, keeping it concise is what I find most important that I’m trying to apply in my own works.

Light work on theming some Google Account/One Google components with @catppuccin.com... needs a lot of work to get into a usable state for a port, though.

Catppuccin themed Microsoft 365 Web. This is an update to the already existing microsoft-word userstyle, just with support for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. OneDrive is also partially coloured, but more work needs to be done on that front.

Does your organization rely on MDN for reference docs?
Do you often check browser compat on MDN or caniuse.com?
Do you use tools like browser DevTools or VSCode in your work?

If so, you rely directly on the work that Open Web Docs does and should consider sponsoring.

To convince your boss.

I deleted 10,000 notes.

Because I was mistaking a database for a brain.

Structure for thinking.

Storage for insight.

I was building a library.

What I needed was a life.

Not sure if anyone's talked about this, but Google Classroom appears to be A/B testing a new design/revamp that primarily uses CSS variables for most components, compared to the class specific hardcoding there was before. Hopefully all Google products will be one day easily userstylable like this.

Hello Bluesky peoples, my name is EggsBenedict624, but you can call me the Isopod Maniac or Iso, I'm fine with anything.
I'm a mediocre 3D modeler that uses #blockbench. I'll mostly be posting my art here.
I'm a Terraria addict and I hope to be a game developer someday, thank you for having me!
