I’m writing a whole bunch about responsive design at the moment so that’s where my head is at right now. Happy to chat over video anytime.

Welcome to Brighton!!!

I think you might like the most recent episode of the @Clearleft podcast. 🙂

Maybe @BenBrignell’s https://principles.design/?

That’s the same thought process I’ve used in the past and I came to the same conclusions. Reassuring to hear it’s not just me!

Here are some I’ve linked to in the past:

I use https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ for testing the robustness of the HTTPS connection, and I use https://securityheaders.com/ for testing how well HTTP headers are set up.

Welcome to Brighton!

You picked a nice day for it!

Ooh, yeah, that was fun!

Good times!

Yes, but the selection is very limited:

As a member of The Long Now Foundation, I am absolutely disgusted by this. The environmental disaster of this “NFT-based crowdfunding model” is the antithesis of long-term thinking.

That makes sense—svg isn’t a replaced element.

My gut feeling is that the download attribute would be handy on the img element (and other replaced elements too?) but I don’t have a use case to hand.

I shall ponder further.

I know this isn’t the use case you’re asking about, but if download were available on the img element, would it makes sense to also make it available on inline SVGs? (I do have a use case I can share for that.)

An alt-history space kick, you say? Are you reading @MaryRobinette’s Lady Astronaut series?

Thanks so much, Jared!

Maybe I could cajole you into being interviewed for the podcast sometime? 😉

Lovely!

That flip-book of Powers of Ten you mentioned—is that the one made by @KelliAnderson?
