@w3cj.com In one of the later episodes of Syntax I think you mentioned a very thin wrapper around `fetch` that you liked to use, but I can't for the life of me remember what it was or find where you were talking about it... any idea what I'm thinking of? An npm package named something-fetch?

Why is this still a thing? Why isn't there an ARIA attribute or CSS property that just does this out-of-the-box? .visuallyhidden { border: 0; clip: rect(0 0 0 0); height: auto; margin: 0; overflow: hidden; padding: 0; position: absolute; width: 1px; white-space: nowrap; }

Also, if anyone who reads this know work at @microsoft.com or know someone who do: Please go and slap whoever implemented this dark pattern and whoever made this ridiculously customer hostile decision, especially in a time where people are struggling financially. They should feel ashamed.
