Hi, #Today I decided to try to #getfedihired — I've got many years of experience with web development, programming and production (#HTML, #CSS, #Javascript), I can make myself useful in anything on the open-source side of back end, i.e. the #Perl, #Python, #PHP, #MySQL, #Linux kind of area.

I live in #Sydney Australia and would be happy to work in-office, remote or hybrid.

Let me know of any opportunities, or pass this on to anyone else who might know of something? Thanks.

Anyone had luck styling images in web feeds to account for light/dark mode & various feed reader themes? Struggling to adapt black-on-transparent images to work with various @NetNewsWire setups. I thought I’d cracked it with #CSS:

<img style="mix-blend-mode: difference; filter: invert();">

...but the light mode themes don’t work unless the theme defines a solid background color.

(h/t @ryan for the heads-up re: the Atlas of Type feed)

There's a special place in H E double hockey sticks for folks who set their site's base font size to 16px.

I'm sure it's fine on small displays, and I dunno it's probably adjusted for in HiDPI displays.

But me in between @ 5120 x 1440 and preferences adjusted for steadily aging vision such that default font size is 20pt, or about 26px?

My eyes hurt.

Just don't set base font size, or set it to 1rem if you must have a value.

this is it, folks! we are in the final week before submissions are due for GOOD INTERNET, a new print periodical magazine about all the things that make the #web fun: things like the #smallweb, the fediverse, the #indieweb, and efforts to actively fight #enshittification. submissions are open until MARCH 15.

Since 2009, I've been contributing to open web tools & standards, with a focus on CSS and related platform features at the W3C. But that work takes resources, making it hard for independent contributors like us @OddBird to stay involved.

We need support. If you appreciate what we're doing, you (or your company) can sponsor our work directly:

Let's keep building an open web for everyone.

What do you want to learn about typography on the web? What CSS have you been meaning to learn? What’s still frustrating or confusing — that you wish you could do or polish more easily?

just under TWO WEEKS until the submission deadline for Good Internet magazine: march 15, 2025!

Good Internet launches in May 2025. it's a volunteer-run, not-for-profit print and digital quarterly magazine for personal website owners and those interested in using the internet as a means of self-expression, art, and recreation.

we're looking for 1,500 to 4,000 word articles about anything for that audience!

this means #webdev hobbyists, digital (and traditional) #artists, #internet culture enthusiasts, #technology nerds, #socialmedia expatriates, & anyone who wants to unplug from the corporate-owned #web.

topics could be:

* internet history
* personal websites & blogs
* #accessibility on the #indieweb
* finding inspiration for a #blog
* #webdesign trends (current or old)
* running from the #enshittification of the web
* lessons or post-mortems from web projects
* news or overviews of #opensource projects
* #privacy on the indieweb

also looking for any #art submissions centered around the web, coding, internet culture, and digital art!

if it relates to hobbies on "this side of the web," we probably want to run it!

you can have your article submitted as text and images only OR you can code a whole webpage that helps tell your story!

if you're interested in learning more, sign up for our email list or check out the submission guidelines @ https://goodinternetmagazine.com!

(please boost if you can! <3 getting the word out helps so much!)

Why I the web.

Someone built this:

"Instead of a boring scrollbar thought it would be fun to have an animated stick figure that walks up and down the side of your page when you scroll."

I’ve been designing web experiences for 20+ years. While I use and enjoy dedicated design software, I’m pretty sure I design “in the browser” more than most.

Here are just a few reasons why… https://cloudfour.com/thinks/why-i-like-designing-in-the-browser/

CSS Tip!

Save this one line of code for the future!

https://css-tip.com/center-uppercase/

No more hacky code trying to remove those spaces above and below an uppercase text. You can easily have a perfect centering for the text!

I decided to find out what computed color values you get when using #CSS `color-mix()` to change color spaces. The results for HSL and HWB are… interesting. XYZ also did not come out as I naïvely assumed it would. https://codepen.io/meyerweb/pen/pvojrWo

Cleaning up (and thereby learning more about) HTML & CSS is so satisfying!

Make Your Own Website
https://web.pixelshannon.com/make

This guide is intended to help beginners make their first website with HTML/CSS.

I originally wrote it for my daughter, then 12 years old, so she could make a website for a school project. I think it is now complete-enough for anyone to follow to get started making a personal or hobby site.

Let me know what you think!
