The site now has polygot markup and can handle both XHTML5 and HTML5
parsing rules. My staging site will be XHTML but my main site will be
HTML5, just in case of parse errors.
If other tools (e.g. LightHouse) end up supporting XHTML5, I'll consider
switching the content-type to XHTML.
- Adopt more shortcodes in older posts.
- Contain figures, excluding images. Slightly decreases paint times.
- Fix spacing issues for nested articles.
- Always enable vertical scrollbar, since pretty much all pages are
taller than the viewport. Eliminates a layout shift.
- Moar microdata
- Set fixed updated dates for some posts so they don't get new
date-updated values until I actually change the content significantly
- Make webring links touch-friendly and accessible by using spaced-out
details elements.
- Make details elements touch-friendly by indicating interactive region
area and making summary padded.
- Sort featured posts by featured order.
- Ensure that at least one non-interactive tappable region exists on the
screen at all times, 48x48 px.
Some old browser engines don't fully support hyphenation, so they need
some extra help. Now, the entire site should fit in a 150 CSS-pixel wide
viewport.
Clean up some link text too so the text alone is more useful.
All pages except bookmarks can now fit on your smartwatch without any
adjustments, so we can disable the auto-zoom-out-to-match-mobile
wizardry that watch browsers do (comparable to the
zoom-out-to-match-desktop stuff that early mobile browsers did).
Yay.
Ask.moe uses Google Custom Search now, so it's not a search engine
anymore; it's a search client.
Lots of people asked about You.com so I put it under Bing.
- Expand "rationale" with info on bias
- "rationale" got bigger so I added sub-headings
- Move "rationale" section to the bottom since its increased size pushed
away the actual engines
All pages should now look good on screens 230px wide (DPR=1), inc. most
feature-phones running e.g. KaiOS.
Add borders to images so they look distinct from the surrounding page.
This should reduce a lot of repetition. Supports first/last names,
nicknames, generic names that don't conform to first/last norms, and
has basic support for affiliated organizations.
Also snuck in more info on website colors to the web best practices
article, inc. a link to Chris' Wiki.
