I just learned that you can run:

brew bundle dump

Which will dump a Brewfile with all of your installed programs and then you can move that to a new computer and run

brew bundle install

To reinstall them.

Accessibility tip #1:

Don’t hyperlink the word “here”.

Use descriptive language. If you are linking to your quirky introduction video, hyperlink that whole phrase. Imagine a screenreader skipping through to each hyperlink and just hearing, here, here, here, here.

I read a blog post on how to make a web3 blog and it sounds like absolute hell.

– The data is stored on the blockchain, so you can’t edit any of your content
– The business logic is stored on the blockchain as smart contracts, so you can’t edit it either

Each page has one primary goal. Identify that goal, and optimize the page to achieve that goal. Everything else is just noise. twitter.com/treadlightly/status/…

One of my students found this absolutely *bonkers* ad for buying syndication rights to ALF in a 1989 trade mag and my life will never be the same t.co/tMuFexNdC8

Alright, I’ll be giving away this $10,000 Gucci XBox to a follower who retweets this in the next 24 hours. I’ll ship it anywhere on earth. Good luck.

Dev: can you send me the asset as SVG please?
Designer: sure thing

New pet peeve: sites that animate every single element on the page, for no particular reason.
I get that images might be lazy-load and that’s all good, but not everything needs to be animated or fade in. It’s not attention-grabbing if it’s used *everywhere.*

Today is #BlueBeanieDay, an annual international celebration of web standards.

😱 We can actually trigger the device’s camera to capture an image directly from it!

A simple HTML input is enough: 👇

<input type=”file” accept=”image/*” capture=”user”> t.co/wWVl1Pf050

Did you know if you rename .docx file as .zip you can then extract it and get all those logos/images clients send you? Used it today and it’s genius!!

Pass the tip along. I forget who I got it from but I’m happy I remembered it.

Just a FYI, George Jetson is going to be conceived this weekend.
