I recently sat down with the folks at Devtools.fm to talk about my experiences as an indie developer building Polypane and Superposition, my experience working with Electron and my thoughts on the framework, and on FixA11y, the browser extension I’m building in my spare time. Listen to it below:
Native CSS nesting is coming to browsers soon. With nesting, that you might be familiar with from Sass or Less, you can greatly cut down on writing repetitive selectors. But you can also really work yourself into a corner if you’re not careful. This is an overview of how you can already use it today, the pitfalls and how to avoid them.
Recently I needed a way to detect support for a media query in CSS and Javascript. To detect if a browser supports a certain CSS feature, you can use @supports () { ... }, but that doesn’t work for media queries. In this article I’ll show you how you can detect support for media queries regardless of if they are turned on.
The upcoming “prefers-reduced-data” media query will make your site more accessible in the “more people can now enter the building” meaning of accessibility. In this recording of my talk given at Shortstack conference you will learn strategies to start implementing this feature now and make your site available to even more people.
Insufficient text contrast is the most common accessibility issue on websites today. According to the WebAIM Million report for 2021, 86.4% of home pages world wide have low contrast text. What’s worse, this number has been increasing the past three years.
