Wrote a thing on why we should have interactive lists on the web: sarahmhigley.com/writing/inte... If anyone has their own interactive list use cases that aren't covered, send them to me! I'm putting together an ARIA spec PR this month.

📊 For websites that use a tri-state dark mode toggle (system, light, dark), have you EVER clicked on the override that matches your current system theme? E.g. going from System to Light on a light OS (which produces no visible change). Experimentation aside obvs. Poll at github.com/LeaVerou/blo...

We should all rewatch @rich-harris.dev's north star talk.

A new instant web classic from @rich-harris.dev > Software is broken. I want software that is RAD. Resilient, Accessible, Delightful. This is our North Star: Svelte exists to help us make better software. gitnation.com/contents/sve...

This talk was presented at FITC Web Unleashed on October 20, 2025. If you reply here I'd be happy to discuss or critique points made from the talk!

This is such a great idea. I just chose and ranked my favorite 15 features in the list—primarily CSS and HTML features of course. interop-rank.jakearchibald.com What are yours?

Firefox for Web Developers@webdevs.firefox.com

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most. So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion. interop-rank.jakearchibald.com

Want to build faster websites? Here's how: - Learn how browsers parse, layout & paint - Treat JS as a tool, not the foundation(!) - Favor static HTML or server side rendering at all times - Use Core Web Vitals alongside other metrics to learn shortfalls, improve and iterate Then keep doing that.

I wrote a guest post for Piccalilli ⭐️

One of the most consistently neglected parts of today’s user experiences is our handling of errors. We’re so busy designing the happy paths through our products that we often forget to give the same care and attention to the times when things will go wrong piccalil.li/blog/how-to-...
