I made lots of updates to my website.
- Added system settings with a new light mode (previously was dark mode-only)
- UI sounds (subtle, quiet sounds for button presses, navigation, carousels etc). Can be turned off in settings.
- System Info panel for seeing browser/network and display details.

Invoker commands ! Super awesome. I love building fast, accessible components without JavaScript and this helps a lot. Next I’d love to see support for appearance: base-select for the select element :-)

related question; would you happen to know if there are any plans for Chrome to natively support <input type="checkbox" switch>? (I hope so!)

I use proton and like it. What makes you think it’s a little sketchy?

I liked the video, but I prefer your blog posts. Being able to read /follow in my own time in silence anywhere is just a much better format for consuming info like this.

Yep, I just installed the iOS 26 beta as I hate the transparent Liquid Glass UI so much. 😐

They are simply giving pubs the option to stay open later - why are you opposed to that ?

Animated GIFs are a terrible format created a very long time ago (1989?) with huge file sizes, limited color palette. It’s really best to avoid using them altogether I think.

Yes I think so, but that’s a feature flag which is off by default at the moment - hopefully it’ll be enabled by September! :-)

Using Safari's native switch input with Bootstrap Using Safari's native switch with a fallback for other browsers using Bootstrap.

I realize this is an OS level thing rather than Safari specific but please pass on feedback. I liked how they were close to looking like Bootstrap ones before christianoliff.com/blog/using-s...

I’m generally happy with all the recent features added to safari (svg fav icons were on my wish list for a while!) but I really, really hate the new default switches in iOS 26. The thumbs are too long. If you have a native switch on a webpage it’s going to look totally different from iOS 18 to 26.

Sadly, not even the latest VS Code recognises this as a valid HTML tag. :-(

Are 'CSS Carousels' accessible? β€” The personal website of Sara Soueidan, inclusive Web UI engineer

You’re not alone in that thinking - www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/css-car... is a great read about many of the issues

(Chrome on iOS uses Safaris browser engine remember)

Unfortunately Safari does not currently support the CSS anchor positioning API - so that’s why it isn’t working. Hopefully Apple will add support soon!
