stefanjudis: Hey friends. 👋
zachleat: Howdy Stefan!
stefanjudis: Is there a reason why 11 is the best number? Is that the reason for 11ty's name? 😲
stefanjudis: haha... look at french then.
stefanjudis: german is logically. ;)
zachleat: I love the length of German words, logic over terseness
stefanjudis: Coulndn't you rely on system colors?
stefanjudis: and just let these figure it out?
stefanjudis: aah but right. you have to toggle it. 🤦♂️
10:16bob_monsour: Not a core feature
stefanjudis: Dark mode toggles are still TOO hard! :D
10:16bob_monsour: Car displays are doing this now
SnarlinBeast: HELLO
SnarlinBeast: it's Nick from Mastodon
SnarlinBeast: Yeah I think I stole it
SnarlinBeast: Didn't want to dox myself with second name lmao
bob_monsour: More coffee, Zach
SnarlinBeast: Talking about accessibility that gray you were using might be too light as even with WCAG algorithm Grays can report as passing when they're not as readable as they can be
SnarlinBeast: Yeah this newer algorithm might be better for grays worth looking at
SnarlinBeast: we had reports on gov.uk design system from real users that our Grays were too light when they passed WCAG at least
SnarlinBeast: This stuff always makes you take a step back and think how these binary systems to determine barriers are not great
SnarlinBeast: Haaaa
SnarlinBeast: Lighthouse uses axe which unless theyve changed their rules doesn't do bitmap images
SnarlinBeast: I always advise started with automated tooling and building on that with testing with real users, e.g. you want to invest in making your feedback process is strong, doing user research etc
SnarlinBeast: Sorry for grammar I just realised confusing
SnarlinBeast: I only know them in the UK sorry
SnarlinBeast: One thing you can do is look into your companies regular customer service process and map out a journey that a disabled customer might do
SnarlinBeast: Love the 50s vibe
SnarlinBeast: I think that's because button buttons behave like that
SnarlinBeast: I think it's controversial because it assumes a lot about what modalities focus are useful for who. Knowing where you are on a page can be useful for all and not just keyboard users.
SnarlinBeast: E
SnarlinBeast: Like pointer users Vs keyboard users
SnarlinBeast: Sorry confusing
SnarlinBeast: How often are you doing these I like the vibe
bob_monsour: It's been every Wednesday at 10am Pacific
bob_monsour: Decompression is typically much faster than compression
SnarlinBeast: One tid bit on buttons is using the html attribute
SnarlinBeast: draggable="false"
SnarlinBeast: Regular button buttons if you drag them and release when you're not over them they won't activate
SnarlinBeast: So if you're making link buttons using that attribute it'll make them more consistent
SnarlinBeast: The declarative stuff has made me much more interested in web components again
SnarlinBeast: That's huge New
SnarlinBeast: I gotta head but enjoyed listening, will try and tune in again, take care
rickydelaveaga: bye!!
rickydelaveaga: lol yes
rickydelaveaga: u got wixed
rickydelaveaga: wixed that ass
rickydelaveaga: oh hell yeah vite, elk, nuxt etc, Anthony Fu is an OSS superhero

bob_monsour: Thanks guys!
rickydelaveaga: thank you!!
