Milan 🇮🇹 is the capital of design, but somehow no FAANG has a UI/UX research hub there.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if #Apple or #Google set up a lab in the city? The mix of Italian creativity and big tech could be 🔥

I rebuilt the Windows 98 Disk Defragmenter in your browser.
It has the colorful blocks, the hum of a hard drive, and the mouse clicks.

It won’t speed up your PC, but it might speed up your nostalgia.

So yes, you can pass WCAG AA and still fail to comply with the EAA’s digital product obligations...

The EAA goes beyond the technical compliance: it requires products to work seamlessly with assistive technologies and be usable across the full customer lifecycle. Not just pass UI-level checks.

💡 One habit that leveled up my PRs

Before opening a PR for a new feature, wait until the next day—then review the code with fresh eyes.
You’ll often catch bugs, edge cases, or even better solutions.
Sleeping on it = secret dev tool. 💤

💡 Overloaded components with too many props are hard to maintain.

Use React’s composition pattern instead—build UI by nesting JSX, not flags.

You get clean structure and better scalability.

@danabra.mov @bsky.app What about adding a quick account switcher? When having multiple accounts, it's time-consuming to reach the Settings page to switch between them. 👀
