I certainly got a better score when I tried again on my phone. I'm also conscious that my phone has a much better screen than my laptop, which has bright patches and isn't OLED.
Downside is that fingers are less precise.
If you needed evidence of how powerful Web Origami is, Jim is not only using it to convert an Instagram export into a useful state but is also using it to then build a site from that content!

Test result screen showing a score of 0.0033.
Not too shabby of a result if I do say so myself.
That was a lot of fun. Great little test!
I think you deserve a promotion. Or should that be a demotion, keeping in style..?
Looking forward to experiencing all the regressions first-hand in the new Polypane update.
My software has been far too stable recently. Gonna do some rebugging.
Full collection of buttons/badges with some added commentary here:

Feel welcome to add them to your sites!
I couldn't help myself. I've made some more funky web buttons to adorn websites with!
They're such fun to put together, and the size constraint presents a lovely challenge. If anyone has any requests, I'd be open to hearing them.

I've been interested in doing that, but hosting video is too expensive for me to pursue.
Thus, I've gone the route of creating pages (vale.rocks/videos) for my short-form videos and then embedding the YouTube video there. Not quite what you're discussing, but a reasonable trade-off in my eyes.
You have done such a wonderful job organising the 11ty meetup and fostering a community. I've only been able to attend a few times, but each has been a highlight. Thanks for running it all these years, Sia!
A frantic-looking Dr Hunter S Thompson donning a cowboy hat stands in deep snow under oppressive blue light in the Colorado mountains, aiming a silver pistol at an old grey typewriter.
For the machine and I have reached an impasse, I shall take a reprieve and Log Off.
An open web links openly.

Fancy writing an article for the @zeroheight.com blog? 😀 zeroheight.com/blog/
I'm always on the lookout for new contributors, and the focus is on the future of #designsystems, how to navigate enterprise design systems, and how-tos on everything DS.
This is a paid opportunity, of course. 🙌
I'm excited for the MacBook Neo from the perspective of it being a reasonably priced Safari/WebKit testing machine.
I imagine they'll be cheap second-hand as well due to the education market.
The lower-end specs won't be an issue for testing either. Maybe a benefit, even.

I'm disappointed to see CSS carousels still being touted as 'accessible'. They plainly aren't, as has been discussed many times. The linked MDN doc even mentions many shortcomings and has been updated recently to remove some of the unfounded accessibility claims: github.com/mdn/content/...
The social media presences surely helped, but I think the proven track records of making quality open-source projects was the more valuable asset.
That made the project immediately trustworthy, and knowledge of how to manage such a project eliminated many of the typical early growing pains.
Said with only the greatest respect and admiration, of course.
Trying to get past all the @npmx.dev evangelists in the feeds today:
It’s that time again - I’m on the hunt for new clients from the beginning of April. I’m open to full or part-time contracts outside IR35.
I can help you with:
- design system consultancy, coaching, management or documentation
- content design
- UX writing
- technical writing

Congratulations to @npmx.dev, which has today entered into alpha!
It may still be early days, but it's a masterclass in community-first building. One of the most impressive open-source projects I've seen in terms of ethos.
npmx is how open-source should be done. I've written about it here:
npmx is now in alpha: this is our story, as told by our team and friends
There truly is no experience quite like being crammed into an old, butchered shitbox being driven recklessly by a teenager on provisional plates.
A most adrenaline-filled adventure relayed in text:

who is building this for atproto?!?!?!?!?!
This is the unlock.
Regular people are not motivated by high-minded decentralization talk. But bees? Hundreds of live bees? Buzzing loudly? That's a memorable experience that cuts through the noise.
A website, but that humming sound while browsing turns out not to be your computer fan but instead hundreds of live bees.
Replacing old code with new code, only to end up keeping the old code around for compatibility reasons, is like when you say goodbye to someone and then walk in the same direction as them.
I was trying to find how other people were currently achieving this effect the other day, and I was searching using the keywords 'ragged', 'jagged', and 'ripped torn paper'.
I still consider the elytra a recent addition to Minecraft, but the update that introduced them is now a decade old.
Oof.
This was a really good read on Moderation Tooling Design, which I saw via the @roost.tools discord: vale.rocks/posts/modera...
Thanks, Amy.
