[5/4] It’s a post now: adrianroselli.com/2026/02/hono... 712 words, but the images are huge (dimensions, not file size). I also captured fresh images (last night’s were an old version of my demo). #HTML #CSS #accessibility #a11y

Honoring Mobile OS Text Size

If your users scale the text size in Android or iDeviceOS, that doesn’t always affect the size of text on a web page. It’s a function of browser and authored code, as opposed to a standardized approach. That may be changing. Support The current state of affairs in the three…

Code only becomes hard to generate when it's built on existing tech debt that was haphazardly designed. For the longevity of code, it needs to be readable, maintainable, and documented, otherwise you will neither be able to verify it or generate it without a full rewrite

My dumb ass spent a decade telling people that software is a field where getting things right is key only to find out nobody else in software agrees

Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 8mo ago

suspect a big reason why many academics and others who work in areas where getting facts RIGHT is key are disinterested in using LLMs for research: they’ve tried it, they keep noticing major errors in output, and they conclude that having to verify all that doesn’t actually save them time.

Imagine following AI advice without a second opinion for the sake of “compliance” to avoid legal fines. I heard about a company having an enthusiastic blind customer reaching out about a11y issues. A coworker proposed hiring them. Sadly, the firm rather contracted an infamous a11y company instead.

As a sponsor of this year's State of the Browser conference, I have one online ticket to give away. I'd love to give it to a student or some who otherwise can't afford it. If your interested, send me DM. :) 2026.stateofthebrowser.com

Thrilled to see more tests for real-world `aria-label` exposure: www.maxdesign.com.au/articles/ari... But ARIA outlines what roles disallow `aria-label` (§5.2.8.3): w3c.github.io/aria/#nameca... So that second paragraph appears to be wrong. Sadly, no comment form. #ARIA #accessibility #a11y

Is aria-label allowed on static elements? - Max Design

An examination of how aria-label behaves on static elements across browsers, and why real-world support differs from common assumptions.

I'm thinking of a thing in 2026 which is to start a weekly office hour to talk with the web community about anything CSS or design-related. Who is up for that? 😃

Eventually writing code with more bugs in more places that are harder to fix will start to cause major problems that can't be ignored. People will learn the hard way the lesson that should've been obvious from the start: bugs are bad.

While there's valid criticism to make about Tailwind, and I'm even starting to move away from it, some of the tired anti-Tailwind dunks need to die in 2025. Nothing annoys me more than when someone criticizes something worth criticizing but for the wrong reasons. Takes we should all abandon in 2026:

Anyone can make something that looks designed, but that doesn’t mean that design has happened. An interesting essay by Christopher Butler, on, how even if anyone can build a page with a CMS, or ask AI for a design, most people don’t have the fundamentals for good design...

The Fundamentals Problem - Christopher Butler

A few months ago, a client was reviewing a landing page design with my team. They had created it themselves using a page builder tool — one of those

as a person who reads a lot and has been yelling for months about writers who don’t read, I wholeheartedly endorse Casey’s excellent advice—this bit especially. go to bookstores! go to the LIBRARY!

If you feel like you are not great at parsing a shelf, it's a skill worth developing as a reader. There is nothing like going to find a book you reasonably believe you will like, and finding it standing among hundreds of similarly interesting books, because you are working with shelves and sections, and not lists and "related"s. Again, of course, it doesn't mean you will like every book on that subject. But you might find you can pull a few more off the shelves. You don't have to actually read them all. Skim them at a table, put them back on a book cart, take one or a few home to browse some more. Freedom!

i got tired of "how to read more" advice from people who are book critics and don't own tvs and live in monasteries with no wifi, so here is some advice from someone with a terminal case of internet brain www.shesabeast.co/how-to-read-...

I just want the outline property to take two or more outlines instead of just one so we don't have to hack our way around creating better outlines using box-shadow anymore. I'll take this over a few of the fancy new features added to #CSS and that I use less frequently any day. 🥹

Yes, but it isn’t recommended to do so because it can be a very poor user experience. They can make navigation confusing, require more keystrokes to explore layers, lack headers that are meaningful for each section, they can break row/column associations, and increase cognitive load dramatically.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.
