We have link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" which allows you to indicate than an RSS feed is available for a webpage, but it would be cool if we *also* had a tag for downloading the OPML file which represents all of the feeds that the author themselves follows, so you could exponentially grow your subscription list with good blogs

Just got another email from a blind user of SourceHut thanking me for caring about accessibility in my work. And honestly, it wasn't difficult. I don't understand why my peers in web development seemingly couldn't give a rat's ass about accessibility. Maybe because at their level of complexity, to them "accessibility" means "a shitload of aira tags and a ton of work", whereas at my level of complexity it means "just keep it simple and don't do anything particularly stupid"

Maybe there's a blog post in this, like "Simplicity is the easiest path to accessibility on the web"

I went out for a walk and ran across a house a few streets away where the man living there was making free hot chocolate or coffee for passers-by in return for a pleasant chat?! And it’s really fancy good hot chocolate too! A greatly cheering start to my outing. He also had some little installations of succulents that he’s made.
People can be lovely.

Is one of my biggest complaints regarding Mastodon about to be solved? Please tell me I read that right.

Excited to hear about @signalapp@mastodon.social's "move to support additional features the Signal community has asked for – like addressing that isn’t based on phone numbers". This is a big deal and was one of the main reasons I considered moving to an alternative . signal.org/blog/signal-pins/

Hello mastodon friends.

I've read a couple of posts on social media recently about blog discovery being broken. I see these every now and again, but this time I thought I would try to do something to help.

If you have time, please take a look at dev.upvote.blog

The site is in development & I'm still working on it, but you can test it out. Would it be useful, or am I wasting my time?

Comments, criticism etc appreciated.

Thank you all so much for 100 followers. When joining mastodon, I didn't think anyone would want to follow me, I guess I was wrong.
