"Safari on iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 for PWA and Web Developers" by Maximiliano Firtman https://firt.dev/ios-14

I'm so glad there's *someone* documenting this stuff. Apple's web browser updates would be so mysterious otherwise.

We just announced some exciting plans for the second year of #glimpse project!

Very worthwhile thread. Shows that as a web dev, you should not make any assumptions and just make sure you comply with standards. If JAWS is in use, configurability is even greater. You can even have site-specific settings there. And Flexible Web can even hide parts of sites.

American greatness was created through decreasing inequality. We need to keep going.

"The Chicago and Stanford economists calculated that the simple, radical act of reducing discrimination against those groups was responsible for more than 40 percent of the country’s per-worker economic growth after 1960. It’s the reason the country could sustain rapid growth with low unemployment, yielding rising wages for everyone, including white men without college degrees."

Brilliant project that tidies up public domain ebooks.

Gutenberg and Internet Archive are wonderful resources, but the texts are poorly formatted for actual use, especially on ereaders.

This is a volunteer driven initiative to bring these texts up to date with modern standards and make them look as good as possible on the page.

Continuing to think about https://engineering.fb.com/web/facebook-redesign/ and wondering if "Atomic CSS" really is the most performant way to handle CSS. https://acss.io/

Pros:

- It does seem that CSS would grow logarithmically with the number of components
- You can code-split it and delete unused rules
- Style calc is fast since everything is just classes (assuming no descendant selectors)

Cons:

- HTML is bloated and hard to debug
- Seems hard to learn the terse syntax
- May be fragile, not very DRY?
