Dear #webdevs, is it better to do a long giant sitemap.xml or an index and lots of little sitemaps? Asking for an #11ty site and I want to follow best practices for search engines.
#WebDevs
trying to read online articles i'm again so utterly pissed off disappointed by my own guild of #webdevs who sold their fucking souls to the most terrible UIs imaginable just to trick everyone into advertisements #darkpatterns (and yes of course I know about adblocks but this is what the majority of folks are being presented with :blobcatangry: )
A wonderful manifestor for #webdevs --> Why I'm not a Full-stack Dev · brennan.day https://brennan.day/why-i-m-not-a-full-stack-dev/
so much "content" these days is really just carrier material for ads 😬 #webdevs #icemoonprison
Hey fellow #webdevs, please treat #javascript like #alcohol. Some of you are going to die young if you continue with the heavy #abuse.
@inaction_figure the problem is that #WebDevs and Corporations using #JavaScript these days go out of their way to be assholes and literally brick shit if #JS is disabled.
- And I'm not talking about functionality that should not have been implemented as a website to begin with but rather instead of delivering a #HTML5+#CSS3 site only spit out "This site requires JavaScript!" or some other #lie.
It's like refusing to serve a #cyclist in a drive-in!
just tried to read an online article from a new outlet and a ridiculous amount of ads were covering 90% of the screen, layered on top of each other 😬 what the heck #webdevs
Another incredible offer from
@chequeredink for all you #indiedevs and #webdevs!
I love 💓 #WebDevs who think it's a good idea to build the #paywall on the #client side of the connection.

@vantablack companies that deliberately make #WebDevs build sites that are #AntiAccessible due to #JavaScript deserved to be boycotted and shamed into reversing that decision.
@ciourte @netopwibby Needless to say I've only heard of some Spanish low-cost #MVNO offering one device only in a #prepaid #bundle when #FirefoxOS was unveiled at the #MWC in #Barcelona based off coverage in @ct_Magazin at the time.
- Cuz I remember #WebDevs like @fuchsiii really loving it because it was the then hot & fresh #HTML5 + #JS6 + #CSS3 combo to make it super-easy to do #Apps. All one needs to build an app was #Firefox as Browser and the ability to basically zip' it.
Alas @Mozilla deciding on purpose to literally splinter the market by letting #MNO|s and MVNOs run their #AppStore|s instead of a #centralized model, making the situation worse than in the "P.R." #China where there are several vendor-independent #AppStores for #Android.
- "Conspiracy Theorists" even suggested that this was deliberate self-sabotage to benefit #Google and #Android, tho needless to say Firefox OS aimed at devices & specs that were too low for Android.
Still, I'm #StillMad at #Mozilla for faceplanting Firefox OS cuz it had the easiest way to get started and a good architecture being every #App is just a #WebApp and all the system calls were standard #HTML5 permissions and nothing fancy.
- Basically #PSvita - Syndrome, but worse as in #OpenMoko #Freenunner:
Hey #webdevs, I have one question.
I am building a tiny tool [1], and for that I need to persist references to DOM nodes in the session storage.
How would I do that? I only have strings.
So I can only store "first node", and "second node", or using their IDs, classes. But what if they have neither and the only thing I have is the NodeList from a querySelectorAll? Ideally I would also like to know when the nodes I work on has changed, so I can reset the store.
thx
🚀 Wow, what a #groundbreaking revelation: games that shouldn't be in the browser are now... in the browser! 🎮💻 The web devs have truly outdone themselves by turning #Terraria and #Celeste into the digital equivalent of forcing a square peg into a round hole. Next, let's run Crysis on a potato! 🥔

DO NOT FUCK WITH THE BACK BUTTON.
The browser back button is meant to navigate back. It is not an invitation to pop up stupid shit. Negative marks to space dot com for doing this most recently.
@AmenZwa also I think a lot.of #WebDevs need to stop showing off and instead start building unique, sleek & privacy-respecting sites...
- #Autoplay|ing #videos in the #background and #Apple-esque #ScrollAnimations don't wow me - but a site that works on #EDGEland speeds or even #Iridium and over @torproject / #TorBrowser with disabled #JavaScript and #LynxBrowser and just feels good, that get a thumbs up...
Dear #webdevs,
Do people not build websites with separate Html, CSS and JavaScript?
Is it all something that spews HTML from JavaScript?

Yo #webDevs please don't:
- mess with my scroll bar
- guess my language (it's in my browsers request header)
- mess with copy/paste
- enforce crappy password rules
This morning I've already had to deal with all four. None of these enhance your site, they just make you come across as an idiot.
I blogged a thing again, for the first time in a long time:
Make your #EULAs and #legalterms printable, people! I'm talking to #webdevs mostly, but also #lawyers and #legalteams and #management ...
@matuzo seriously, thank you for your #web #accessibility cookbook!
We're currently fixing accessibility on our site (medium sized web shop) and nearly *every* page in your book hits a topic right before our eyes!
And it's clearly written and does not over explain things. It's just on point.
Never had such a strong recommendation for a book for #frontend #webdevs
