I made one and found that the CSS gets quite complicated if:
- You have separate HTML for the horizontal and hamburger styled situation
- Have submenus in the nav

It worked out in the end, but I hope there are ways to do a simpler implementation than I did:

Does anyone understand navigating files in #Figma anymore?

That save the environment by archiving your e-mails kerfuffle reminded me that ForTomorrow has a post on the climate impact of e-mail. I've updated it to make clear that your effort is better spent elsewhere.

So apparently Codeberg is not the place to move my personal website's repo to.

Hey people with websites:

I noticed that the URL inspector of the Google Search Console rather consistently claims a 'URL is not on Google', while anyone can actually find it using Google Search.

Why?!

Google Zero seems to be real. Google is still the biggest referrer to my blog, but it seems to do its best to become less relevant.

I understand that many people feel it's convenient to see answers to their questions as an AI-generated summary above the search results.

Be careful if you're still using VS Code. The latest update changed the settings for Copilot, so if you disabled Copilot Autocomplete before, it will be turned on again.

It 'autocompleted' a change in a CSS class list by duplicating a bunch of lines that followed it. I almost deployed the mistake

USP number 1: "Design responsively with breakpoints"

But I thought we were all doing flex and grid layouts now?

Media queries a.k.a. breakpoints are a last resort every designer and developer should avoid.

Web design is fluid. Always has been. Even before 'responsive' was a thing.

If you're using adplist.org for mentoring sessions and care about your #privacy, I recommend you do the calls via another platform. They've rolled out a note-taking system that records everything said in your sessions.

I'm trying to style a <meter> (that's a progress bar, kind of).

It requires the non-standard, browser-specific selector mess you probably know from <input type="range">. So I'm thinking, maybe I should just make the <meter> hidden but accessible and recreate the thing with two <div>s.

It's a shame I'm not employed by Google, because every time I do a remote user testing session, I discover new usability issues with Google Meet.
