  RE: https://mastodon.social/@devolute/116240677422104893 Never forgot what #SYPN took away from us. They were this close to implementing iconic branding but decided to drop the ball by resorting to huge - barely readable - letters. Bit of a mess. I wonder which sadist pushed for the change? #Sheffield

  Good of them to land it somewhere they don't care about in case they had an accident. More benefits of the #SpecialRelationship @MAKS23 https://mastodon.social/@MAKS23/116392102689937458

  This article from @mdn is fascinating. Especially: > Really, MDN isn't a particularly complex site […] The vast majority of content on an MDN documentation page is HTML and CSS: we don't need a complex app powering the majority of the site. We essentially have islands of interactivity, which could easily all be implemented as web components. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/blog/mdn-front-end-deep-dive/ Shocked as you are!

  CKEditor (and by extension, #CraftCMS) just got a huge 'glow-up' when it comes to tables: they can turn into quite fiddly things, but this change should fix most of the struggles I (well, my content editors) had with them in this CMS. I know. Boring old tables! - but here's the thing: In this age of #GEO presenting tabular data concisely can be a huge #SEO advantage and there are many cases where it's the right choice in terms of reader comprehension too. https:...

  My favourite use of an LLM for good (this week): Helping to protect the mental health of the interns at the NY Times (who'd otherwise probably be responsible for transcribing this crap): https://www.niemanlab.org/2026/02/how-the-new-york-times-uses-a-custom-ai-tool-to-track-the-manosphere/

  I know no one really cares about this (2 similar tickets closed due to lack of interest), but I think it's a shame that #ZedEditor has made it to v1 (congrats btw) and dark themes are still a bit broken on MacOS: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/5049

  This #WordPress takedown is savage: https://marcindudek.dev/blog/wordpress-manifesto/ Completely reasonable points, unfortunately. Except I will say on the 'Community' point, that is a little unfair - when I was part of this community many parts of it were very welcoming.

  I love @alifeee 's #Sheffield events bot (@events) - it's genuinely how I find stuff to do with the kids in town. Leveraging #ActivityBot and some selector-heavy scraping. #FrontEndSheff

  A delightfully presented dive into the state of those common patterns for which we've developed JS libraries and can now be entirely replaced by modern #CSS : https://blog.gitbutler.com/the-great-css-expansion

  Digging the look of the new buses for #Sheffield / #SouthYorkshire - yes “People’s Network” is a bit 'Continuity Corbyn' & yes it's 🇳🇱 Dutch AF (we've done this before, *cough* Tramlines branding) - nothing wrong with that. Who knows, it might hint at better cyclist vibes? #YorkshireYorkshireYorkshire 🚌 #SYMCA /via https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/mar/16/mayor-unveils-peoples-network-transport-plan-south-yorkshire
