"Fly, you fucking fools"

I've had an execeptionally tough year. I have no income or health insurance, and could really use your help finding my next paid project. 💜 semanticfish.com/2025-year-in... Open to front-end, full-stack, design system, & accessibility projects. 10+ years experience. Many more details in post!

This is the best 2025 year-end wrap up post I've read. Honest and unflinching on calling out global issues, while managing to be inspiring and hopeful for the future. "Spend less time scrolling timelines and chasing metrics. Spend more time embracing the things that you love" - My mantra for 2026

I've set up a small monthly newsletter called Focus State. With accessibility support shrinking in a lot of orgs, I wanted to create something that divides that gap, builds community, and makes the internet a bit more fun. If you dig digital accessibility give it a look: annaecook.com/newsletter

💚 The new GSAP Demo Hub is here! 🤘 We’ve kicked things off with 50 demos, with plenty more on the way, including some framework-specific collections and inspiring community contributions. Would you like to contribute or suggest an example? Get in touch, we’d love to hear from you! demos.gsap.com

A few years back, I nearly wrote "The Fallacy of Federated Design Systems." Then @nathanacurtis.bsky.social beat me to it. But what happens when you try it anyway? At Spotify, I watched federated fail twice, resulting in a huge number of barely reused components and damaged trust in design systems.

I've never seen the industry so reluctant to spend. I had a company with 9 figures (yes, in USD) in revenue turn down a low five figure quote for a custom solution that would be revenue generating. As a side note, if you're looking for a web swiss army knife, your gal is free in Q1~

I’m often asked for freelance UI/UX designer recommendations, but my list is out of date — most folks I used to refer are now full-time or doing other work. Time to fix that. If you’re an independent UI/UX designer doing hands-on client work, drop your website/portfolio! DM/email fine too. [1/2]

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020. It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛 bell.bz/its-been-a-v...

JavaScript for Everyone is a course designed to teach you not just the how, but the why of JavaScript — the kind of deep-magic knowledge that can otherwise take years to develop. For the next two weeks, you can pre-order for £149, saving £100 off the full price of £249. piccalil.li/javascript-f...

Hi all! 👋 I was laid off and am looking for my next senior front end developer role. I have 19+ years of experience working with small agencies and Fortune 500 companies and focus on writing clean, accessible HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Resume: aubreysambor.com/resume/ Leads/reposts appreciated!

"Appreciation" is too strong a word, but I do have a newfound perspective on the bits of positive progress that came from past tech bubbles after reading this.

oh and in before "it's just a beta!" as if disabled people should be excluded from betas

Svelte Summit 2025 Barcelona Day 1 Mega Thread time :D #SvelteSummit #SvelteSummit2025

✨hire me ✨ I'm looking for new client work. Bringing over ten years of front-end development experience and Design Systems consultancy. Do you need help with your current codebase? Looking to create a fresh Design System? Wanting to update your CSS? I'm here. www.alwaystwisted.com 🙏🖤

Still flying high from attending State of the Browser again this year, though I'm also struggling to remember what a keyboard does after the ensuing holiday. Just for the laughs, here's a "candid" photo including me smiling at the camera. Sorry for ruining your shot @marcthiele.com! #SotB2025

Walked away from State of the Browser 23 cards lighter, nearly half of the box! If you got one, reach out! Connect on social, email me, whatever. These cards are great at starting conversations, not so great at continuing them unless we connected, and I'd love to keep in touch. #SotB2025

I took my time over months to complete this course, really enjoyed how it was organized into but sized chapters to make that slow but steady progress easier. It's a ton of great content and so so worth it, the fact that it also checked some CAECs off my list was a great bonus.

It's a tie between "Omni-channel" and AI for me right now

Last but not least, Oliver Schöndorfer with Typographer vs. Accessibility! All about readability and legibility of font typefaces, busting some accessibility myths, and promoting conscious decisions around type. "Pick what fits your theme and then check the typefaces" - yes! #SotB2025

Whimsica11y by @sarajw.front-end.social.ap.brid.gy is next! Missing the old web, blog rolls, guestbooks, lots of experimental content that may not be accessible, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't try. For example Alt text as part of the art, Alt text selfies, share more of yourself. #SotB2025

First session after lunch is Scott Riley with Mindful Design for Developers. Rethinking the way we consider and build for the Web, with a focus on self determination rather than relying on dopamine-based extrinsic motivation. "The browser is the best design tool we have" yes! #SotB2025

Time for @matuzo.at talking about Color in CSS! Lots of very helpful graphics and visualizations that help explain the difference between color spaces like HSL and Lab, where some bugs & limitations are, how they can be used together, and even converted from one to another. So dynamic! #SotB2025

Now it's time for @joshtumath.uk talking about APIs. How to consider building them, who is the target audience, how freely it can change and evolve, how can it be made easy to use. Very thought provoking and there's a lot of overlap with design systems work here too. #SotB2025

Niya Dobazova up next talking about light-dark() in CSS. Something I was only recently made aware of and already love. Niya made a great case for taking the time to build for multiple modes, especially for accessibility support and confirmed sustainability improvements with dark mode. #SotB2025

Andreas Kling is up first! Sharing the journey of building a new browser engine based on web standards, called Ladybird. No user monetization, independently and sustainably run, more browser engine diversity? Sign me up! Alpha release in 2026 #SotB2025

It's finally State of the Browser day! If you see me around, be sure to ask for a one of a kind business card. I spent way too much time and money on them to go home with a box full! #SotB2025

I have some availability, and would love to help you with you Frontend Web Project. - Design to Template conversion - CMS Template integration - JavaScript (inc Vue/React SPA) DM me or email [email protected]

Huge fan of active appreciation. Mindful of thanking someone for help, share how they positively impacted me. Today I was reminded what it feels like to receive that kind of feedback, someone summed me up with the word "superlative" and I'm absolutely beaming. Try it, we all need more good vibes.

I realize - as the creator of a subscription based SaaS - that this is a bit ironic to admit, but I've been experiencing the same subscription-fatigue mentioned often. I don't mind paying for things that are going to save me time, but doing so monthly in perpetuity isn't always sustainable.

"No one does business cards anymore" and yet here I am ordering a second batch of them because I was running out. I'd gotten used to quiet focus alone as a career web dev at agencies, where that was a majority of my job. At public gatherings, I was - and still am - the quintessential awkward dev.

I've been working on a new talk which I am so excited for! "Bill and Ted's accessibility adventure" debuts at CityJS London in late April. Would be great to see you there! Expect a fun ride through accessibility testing, many jokes, and a very tenuous metaphor!

Polypane + Be Inclusive has been part of my secret sauce for quicker and more thorough accessibility testing. I'm so happy to be able to offer this discount to help others discover the same time savings without having to sacrifice test coverage or quality. #Accessibility #A11y
