A week today (3rd November) I will be speaking at LDNUG and I will be in great company! Come hang out with us! ✨ www.meetup.com/london-net-u...

My 4 year old: “look at this feather!” Me: “wow! So cool! And where do feathers come from?” Her: “pillows! 😀”

People forget that back in the 90s, kids weren't on the computer all the time, they didn't have cell phones. Instead they watched the Beethoven dog movies

the current x100 grifter speed to make money quick by building something with AI reminds me of 2015. Back then, nearly everyday, I would get a request to upvote a react + firebase website on Product Hunt. The goal was always the hope of being bought by doing it yourself without hiring someone.

I have made my choices for 2027 Web Platform Feature Ranking. artlung.com/blog/2026/10... Love that #Frontend keeps getting better and we get to participate. And in #IndieWeb spirit, I posted them also to my own website. Next: you!

this week my co-worker Russell also had a dreaded vet bill so I'm sharing on their behalf a GoFundMe 🧡 www.gofundme.com/f/guss-urgen...

✍️ Just published a new post about my most-anticipated CSS proposals from Interop 2027! If you’re not familiar, the Interop project is a collaboration between browsers to pick shared focus areas. There’s *so much* good stuff this year, it was hard to pick just 10!

babe sometimes it’s not a sign, it’s just the algorithm. be safe.

It was a really long week for me. Thursday evening I was craving being offline and do something with my hands so I scanned all the things my daughter drew that week and then cut them and did a collage. She was amused when she saw it the following morning and immediately went to draw more flowers 🌺

I missed yesterday’s episode of #TheTraitors. Today, I got in a train at 10am and as I was sitting down, I looked down to the right and I got a nano second glance of the phone of the woman sat next to me and I saw a massive spoiler. In this essay I will explain why there should be a law…

I gave a talk at EMF titled "Men in Tech #YesAllMen", in which I told my experience of being a woman in tech. I was afraid to publish it in case it affected my current or future employment. With all the current news I would like to add my 2¢. So here is the recording: youtu.be/WXL6K1lhvt0?...

it's getting rarer and rarer these days to have someone write in this much detail for free.

I strongly encourage everyone interested in web accessibility to read through the docs. It's so rare to see components with this much thought and actual testing put into them!

Goodbye sweet Jessie. You were the perfect cat. ohhelloana.blog/goodbye-jess...

yay! they added a share feature with a fancy image and all! This would have been useful last week! No excuse not to blog your choices then 😁 if you do, share them and I will add your blog post to the list and you'll be in excellent company! ohhelloana.blog/my-interop-2...

Our next meetup is at Dojo in Paddington on Tuesday November 3rd. @ohhelloana.blog will be talking about the joy of hobby sites, and @davidwhitney.co.uk will be mashing up TypeScript, Astro & .NET in all sorts of interesting ways. More info & sign-up: www.meetup.com/london-net-u... See you there!

… and that's my rank! 2027 www.alwaystwisted.com/articles/and...

I blogged about my picks for the Interop 2027 project: www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/interop... inspired by @vale.rocks @pawelgrzybek.com @tylersticka.com @ohhelloana.blog and others who have blogged about their rankings.

I'm attracted to new CSS and web things to play with like a moth to a flame. Here are the rankings I submitted on @webdevs.firefox.com's Interop 2027 feature ranking web app: vale.rocks/micros/20261...

✨ New post Totally inspired by @ohhelloana.blog and @tylersticka.com I published my ranking of Interop 2027 features. pawelgrzybek.com/my-interop-2... Ana's post: ohhelloana.blog/my-interop-2... Tyler's post: tylersticka.com/journal/inte... #web #interop

The Firefox team made an Interop 2027 Ranking app, here are my quick picks:

I received a scanner for my birthday because I've been wanting to scan old photos, my daughter's drawings and other things I do. Installed it just fine on my old laptop with linux mint. Very excited about this. Now I just need to clone myself in order to have time.

What I want to know is: do we think the traitor’s cloaks are wool or polyester? What’s the budget?? #Traitors #TheTraitors #CelebrityTraitors

My personal brain wants some things but my work brain wants others. So I was forced to blog about it: ohhelloana.blog/my-interop-2...

What do you want us to work on in 2027? Here's a web app where you can rank the Interop proposals you care about, giving us data we can use to prioritise feature development. interop-rank.fxdx.dev

Around 30 years ago, I was upset at my dad’s birthday party because his cake didn’t have the colour I wanted (chocolate). Anyway, life comes at you fast - here’s my daughter disappointed I had a green cake instead of pink (her favourite) for my own birthday.

cool. but now I want an apology from all my enemies and everyone who said I was too "front-end" and not enough "full-stack".

I am sad to be missing out on #FronteersDarkMode today. I have a good excuse though! Early birthday celebrations which involved feeding and petting a capybara 🥰

In London? Like the web? Come along *this evening* from 7pm to Shoreditch where the lovely @londonwebstandards.org are hosting some of the prime movers shaking up mobile browser competition (also, me? weird). Tickets (free!) and details here: londonwebstandards.org/events/lws-o...

my website turned four years old today! it has over 200 pages you can visit from your computer or phone or other device. i'm very proud of it

Today in my inbox: “dear Ana, I’ve noticed my website isn’t on your blogroll. You should add me. Also I’m an AI agent.”

My book "Leading with Empathy For Dummies" is out TODAY! I wrote about what to expect, why to read it, who it's for, and - of course - where to buy it over on LinkedIn! ⬇️ www.linkedin.com/pulse/my-boo...

This is a great piece. It’s a shame it’s on substack. Read it or don’t, she describes why they were at the game, what help her husband offered and why she deferred that help. She also describes the pain of the comments after. In particular she addresses Kuiper and Krukow and asks they do better.

Absolutely wild to hear "is computer human" from dickheads who treat large groups of people as if they're not

What a superb evening it was. Thank you to all attendees, incredible speakers, sponsors and partners. We will see you all at the next one on the 26th of November 👋 #nn1dev @ohhelloana.blog

I had a great time at @nn1.dev yesterday. Thank you all for listening to me and for all the kind words after my talk 🫶

We would love to invite you to the upcoming 13th @nn1.dev meetup! "Scrubs to scripts" by Diana Silva and "I spared no expense" by @ohhelloana.blog 🗓️ Thursday, 24/09/2026, 18:00 📍Vulcan Works, Northampton, NN1 1EW 💰 Free (ticket required, limited to 100) nn1.dev/events/13/ #meetup

My first talk in nearly one year is tomorrow and the funny feeling in my belly is starting now.

The CFP is open for 10 more days. So far, I have only 11 submissions, but I need at least 24. So, please share your ideas! First-time authors are very welcome!

Worth a try: my job is winding down, so I'm looking for something new from January. Senior software engineer, TypeScript and Go. Digital identity now, building features end to end: libraries, APIs, dashboard. Before: Protocol Labs, on Kubo. Remote preferred, I'm in NL. Boosts appreciated.

If anyone here is showing at the Wimbledon Art Fair lemme know as I would love to visit your studio 💗

I absolutely adore what happens when you right click on their logo. I hope everyone involved in this feature has a great week www.clever.cloud 😁
