@aral it looks still open source (at least partially)? https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/tree/main/apps/dotcom/client

i'm one of those weirdos who refuses to touch new #HTML and #CSS features until they're available across all three modern browsers.

there are some cases where it's fine to let it degrade (e.g. `text-wrap: balance`), but with larger features i just avoid them.

this is one of the reasons cascade layers instantly clicked with me (shipped everywhere all at once!)

this is also why i haven't yet played with scroll-driven animations and anchor positioning (as much as i'd love to)

help i feel like building a CMS (i really shouldn't)

this has probably been asked before: what's the least bad CMS?

things i'm looking for: accessibility, self-hostability, customizability.

bonus points if it can output markdown.

i've made a thing: https://xkcd.fyi/

it's an alternative frontend to https://xkcd.com/ with some important differences:
- title text shown in a more accessible way (instead of abusing alt text)
- transcript included for every comic (with newer ones sourced from explainxkcd)
- link to https://explainxkcd.com/ (for when you don't get the joke)
- dark mode!

@aral @zens this sort of thing should probably be a fragment link. currently a screen-reader user does not get any feedback after clicking the link; it's as if the link were broken. in comparison, clicking a fragment link would move focus to the target element, which gets announced by screen-readers.

@aral it's wild that your *very* reasonable take was considered so controversial that it offended people to the point they feel the need to publicly announce they're unfollowing you. if anything, this only helps show the ableism that's so deeply ingrained in the average fossbro

i love links. probably the best feature of the web

get rid of that auto-rotating carousel / animation. no one will miss it.
