The temptation to bring in a js bundler is oh so very great. Deno bundle is obviously not designed to bundle js directly for the browser but you can get away with it up to a certain point.

I think my practical notes on xslt/xml are mostly complete and could work as a blog post this month. I got distracted last month trying out syncthing’s newest features… if I get around to editing those notes, they could work as a blog post at some point too.

If you think about it, the HTML <abbr> tag is not that well thought out. Or rather, inconsistent interpretations of the title attribute on different displays limits <abbr> usefulness.

Sure, conditional media types allow auto expanding the title on touch or print displays.

But many semantic elements have similar quirks that are only noticeable with a good cross browser/display testing suite, which no one has btw.

Surprising quirky behaviour + real world “get it done now” business constraints = everything’s a <div> and/or a <span>.

Htmx is a nice library to know about that makes frontend = backend. Include strategic js (htmx.js) to not write any more js and compose an interactive website/application in HTML only. Use your favorite back end to create routes that return partial HTML that is swapped in on event triggers (transclusion).
