Trying to kill WordPress is like trying to kill a god. You will be made an example of, humiliated, and quite possibly smote by powers otherwise unknown in this realm.

The above effect is especially exacerbated by strong contrast, like pure white on pure black. However, different conditions benefit from different levels of contrast. For example, people with conditions such as cataracts, aniridia, and achromatopsia can benefit from low-contrast visuals. The prefers-contrast CSS media feature is fantastic for tailoring to your user’s needs.

I love dark mode, but it mustn’t be the only option. For a lot of people, white text upon a dark background is illegible.

Common eye conditions like astigmatism, myopia, and presbyopia can make content look foggy, become hard to focus on, and cause eye strain.

Vale.Rocks now has a tag view, so you can view content with specific tags. You could already kinda do this with filtering on the search page, but this is a tad nicer and comes with descriptions.

It isn’t perfect yet, but it is a start.

A lot of developers mistakenly think that the code is the product. In reality, for most businesses the product is the product, and the code is merely means to an end.

I think this explains why so many developers’ efforts are so horribly misguided by modern technologies. They’re building the code, not the product.

I’ve also published a blog post about the migration of my various Stoat bots.

I’m moving off GitHub. My move has been underway for ages but has really picked up speed recently with all the outages and such.

Turns out it takes a long time to write docs, track down links, and otherwise ensure the transition goes smoothly when moving Git forges. Who’d a thunk it?

Not a mutual? Feel welcome to send me a message anyhow. I just don’t have a huge scale to be able to offer access to everyone.

Are you a mutual that needs to test in Safari but can’t justify the cost of a Mac? Send me a message.

I’ve got a little thing going so people who need to can remote in and test with genuine Safari.

I own a MacBook Pro now. It cost me a whopping $25. You’ve never seen such high-quality Safari testing before. Ever.

Been working with an eye tracker for a few hours today to get it sorted for a person with MND. Such a draining input method that reinforces all the efforts we make regarding digital accessibility. I’m knackered.
