Putting the heading in the navigation element makes the structure more
logical and matches the behavior of most other websites.
Move it before the introduction in my web best practices post.
- Replace hashes in code snippets with variables for screen-readability
- Use hyphens where valid instead of combined words for screen reader
pronunciation
- Typo
- Add WIP section on screen reader support tips not already covered.
- New section on in-page search
- Mention most alt search indexes don't support JS
- Background images bad
- More sample tests: word processors that support HTML
- Fix print directive i accidentally deleted
- Switch from inline-start to "left" since old browsers prolly outnumber
the number of poeple using Eng-Arabic machine translation engines that
also alter the text direction.
- Mention checking privacy policies for 3p content
- Elaborate on more mainstream examples of color overrides
- Link to CSS WG docs instead of MDN for prefers-contrast since they're
more detailed.
- Specify that I'm just removing margins in <figure> elements for
quotations.
Order is significant for the ToC and post list so make them ordered.
I opted to make post-lists a reversed list, so I don't end up having
every post change its number every time I post.
Visitors can see that on post update dates; I can see that in
builds.sr.ht.
This results in not having to upload every page on a trivial change. Add
the "-c" rsync flag to take advantage of that. Doing so should also
result in longer-lived cached copies, with etags and last-modified
headers.
- Add quote describing how blind readers struggle to find non-semantic context
- Mention that longdesc is deprecated by simple hyperlinks. Describe an alternative.
- Transcripts are necessary for machine translation
- Improve alt-text used alongside an image transcript
- Re-phrase a line referring to a previous section; after some
re-arrangements, that section is no longer a "previous" section.
- Replace spatial terminology ("bottom") with sequential terminology
("end")
- Add note on font enumeration without the Font Access API
- Acknowledge testing in grayscale but emphasize that it isn't enough.
- Move defense of link underlines to just after the section on custom
colors, since it's more relevant to it.
- Add xkcd image into the page instead of just linking, since the linked
page content is an image that doesn't include a transcript or
descriptive alt-text.
- Trivial rephrasings
- Make sure that headings don't have the same name as any links, to
avoid creating links with similar names but different purposes
- Remove useless <aside> elements that wrap landmarks.
- Move TOC down a bit, after the intro.
- Elaborate on each image optimization tool
- Mention using GNU Parallel or squoosh.app
- Describe libavif with libaom+butteraugli and the YUV400 color space
- Why you should avoid srcsets based on viewport or display properties
- Fix code snippet for <picture> sample
Threw in some formatting and very minor phrasing fixes.
- Even less halation for dark theme
- More contrast for borders
- Slightly larger font, fixes APCA contrast issue for <small>
- Make responsive navbar work in NetSurf
- Make aria-current page bold
- Use content-visibility to unload footers and endnotes
- Add aria-labels to unclear webring link text
- Replace <hr> elements with css borders; the semantic meaning of <hr>
was unnecessary with section breaks.
- Elaborate on how contrast needs to be maintained under different
conditions like different screens, gamma adjustments, and color
blindnesses
- Add my skepticism about progressive decoding.
- Describe how to calculate intrinsic side to avoid layout-shifts caused
by CSS Containment
- Mention use of relative font sizes.
- Replace incorrect use of the word "inline" when describing images.
- Cite WAI more
- Mention merit of dark image variants
- Fix shitty ARIA
- use a <dl> list in one place.
- Describe use of `prefers-contrast: less`
- Narrow screen fixes.
Use -inline-start instead of -left for machine translators that change
direction. Wrap that in a feature query so browsers that don't support
these rules can fall back to default styling. Those browsers are desktop
browsers anyway, where this doesn't relaly make a huge difference.
Add reduced-contrast for dark mode, for readers with severe astigmatism.
Reduced-contrast is the same as regular dark mode, except that the
background is lighter.
Somehow fit all of this in <1kb, any bigger and I'll have to stop
inlining.
- Add dark variant of an image
- Some WebP images weren't significantly smaller than their PNG
counterparts; replace them with JPEG-XL. No browser supports it yet
but I need those meme image formats aaaaaaaaa
