Accessible Animated Star Rating | Vince's Website
I saw a neat CSS-only animated star widget in a Mastodon post and was inspired to create an accessible version.

My version requires JavaScript, but with good reason and it has several advantages over the CSS-only version.

@kcg.bsky.social I'm gonna use the "Question Hound" meme in a post. I'd like to link back to the original author. It might result in a merch purchase or patreon patron. Do you have a link you'd prefer me to use? I'll just use your linktree link unless you tell me different.

CSS code showing the recommended style for visually hidden text followed by a rule that unsets all the visually hidden styling if it immediately follows a FontAwesome icon that is currently being hovered.
Hide this text for sighted users because there's a FontAwesome icon that represents it. But sighted users might mouseover the icon if they don't know what it means, so don't hide the text in that case ...

Do you use a tool to generate .gitignore files, or write them manually?
gitignore .io will generate 165 lines for my current project, but the following seems to work for me:
```
node_modules
.vscode
.env
```
