I agree with ⁦@jaffathecake⁩ here that an image’s alt text should try to evoke the same emotions as its visuals so screen reader users don’t miss out. Let the creative writing begin! Writing great alt text: Emotion matters - JakeArchibald.com jakearchibald.com/2021/great-alt…

Today I learned CSS includes the `:enabled` pseudo-class. It’s an easy way to turn off hover styles when a button is disabled. button:hover:enabled { /* fancy styles */ } If you like that sorta thing, this counts as an exciting find. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…
