I am thinking itās a sign that the freckles in our eyes are mirror images and when we kiss they perfectly align.
What site generators do people like for user guides and documentation?

I made an old man rant on social.lol about scrollbars and it became my most popular social media post ever. Gives me warm fuzzies that so many others care about this humble-yet-powerful UI control.
@ranylt@wandering.shop @kagan Yes. So with Discord I canāt really use the ānativeā app because of the scrollbar situation there. So I use it in the web browser with the ScrollAnywhere extension installed.
This extension lets me scroll, uh, anywhere by clicking and dragging the page as if on a mobile device. Itās really handy and I wish I could install it at the OS level.
Ok so I'm watching Babylon 5 now and it's all @ghoulpusās fault.

Upgraded all of my internet gear down to the ethernet cables. Hopefully this finally solves the terrible coverage in my house. But why do these fancy routers need to look like alien tech from sci-fi?
I had scrollbars on the brain and Iām trying to write more, so here are some thoughts about the mighty scrollbar as a slowly dying UI control. #WebDev #a11y #ui #design

Anyone who uses or knows about screen readersā¦ do they support scrollbars decently? Do they announce anything about length of the page or your current location on a page?
Just curious if the visual feedback scrollbars offer is represented by screen readers.
ChatGPT just wrote me a beautiful short post about the merits of the scrollbar as a UI control. Guess Iāll toss it and write a rambly-yet-passionate one instead. š
I keep saying this butā¦ UI developers, please remember that the scrollbar isnāt only a visual indicator but a draggable, interactive control.
Donāt hide it with no easy way to reveal it. And please donāt make it so thin that itās unduly difficult to click (yes some ppl use scrollbars this way).
Donāt assume a scroll wheel/ball/gesture is 100% available or accessible to the user.
How many frontend engineers does it take to make an icon link in Vuetify? Turns out itās 5.
I shouldnāt be surprised, but itās amazing how much nicer RSS feeds and a Mastodon account is than mindlessly scrolling Twitter.
I see the light at the end of the tunnelā¦
Got a nice little planet avatar from @heyheymomo! Using for my omg.lol Discord avatar.
Currently lost somewhere deep down in a recursive Vue component hell.
Web-based apps have the powerful ability to be styled by the user (via user CSS styles). I'm wondering if there are any apps out there that purposely style their interface so that it is conducive to user customization.
In order to continue receiving personal care services (which are necessary for me to live and work) I have to make bad financial decisions like turning down my employerās 401(k) plan. RIP š šŗšø
