Funny, the first ~15 are easy simply by spamming h1-h6, i, u, em, etc… but then it gets hard.

Probably the only time I’ll ever use menu, dfn or del/ins.


I wanted to say my Figma plugins that I made for myself, but I published them so it doesn't count.

When I was around 15 I wanted to try out Win Forms. I also used to play a lot of Dota 2 so I created this app to calculate how many Techies mines would to take down a hero with X HP. Complete with sliders, input field, radio buttons and checkboxes to select ability levels and items. Pretty sure it will never get published, but the .exe is still sitting on my desktop.

That headline almost made me spill my coffee.

But in all seriousness, it’s amazing that something like this still happens today. And I can only imagine massive amounts of hubris from the founder‘s side is to blame.

Around launch I wondered if they seriously believed what they promised and if anybody there ever tried it themselves.

Turns out they didn’t, actually.


Noticed that as well. At first I wondered for how long they would be driving left, but then I remembered that highway crossings are often mirrored. An overview of the whole intersection would clear things up a lot.


Great article, probably confirming something a lot of people on here have already suspected. But I am honestly shocked at how dire this situation seems.

> Reddit isn't the only winner after Google's recent algorithm updates. SEMrush data shows that other user-generated sites such as Quora and Instagram saw similarly astronomical rises, and there were impressive spikes at LinkedIn and Wikipedia as well.

How can it be that after 20-30 years, it seems they have no way of knowing which sites produce genuine content and which do not?

And what’s worse, in what I can only describe as a frantic search for a solution, they simply turn to the largest players and bump up their weights.

They are killing the grassroots of the internet and when places like Reddit continue their inevitable path of enshittification the internet will be truly dead

Of course the internet is resilient and it will grow again, but we need to get this monopoly back in check fast.


Great news. FFs UI has been falling behind the other browsers lately and vertical tabs is something I really like.

Good that they also want to include tab groups so there’s hope this will work like Tree Style Tabs. That extension is probably the gold standard when it comes to tab organization.


Or they could invest resources in useful things and we continue to use Tree Style Tabs

In what way is the UI falling behind? How advanced can it be? The most advanced thing was probably XUL that they disabled


Wow, the headline is so large, I'm having trouble reading it.

Then there's the sticky header, on my screen it takes up 1/5th of the available space. Or the headings, subheadings and tabs that float away (proximity principle from the blog post) and the column of text, that becomes hard to read because of small line length.

It clearly looks designed, but they should take a look at this post.


Yeah, fully agree. Tried to get into Sketch (multiple) times actually via their 30 day trial. But I've repeatedly run out of time testing details and special cases next to the job, so Figma it is.

For note taking tools it's also hard. You only get to know the tool and how well you can work with it only after you spend time with it and have some content in there. Hard to do in 14 days.

So letting users evaluate the core part of your service without time limit makes sense and it's good to see a successful example of that.


Have to admit I'm slightly disappointed that the FF version only shows two users still and one of them is me.


That’s a very cool project and I wish something like this would exist for all websites.

A few years ago I did a university project where we looked into (internet) research and how information discovery and gathering could be improved. (https://www.kaimagnus.de/projects/halo)

There we had the concept of a similar looking tree. Users could then come back to their exploration and take notes, prioritize and sort.

It was only a concept back then, so it’s nice to see it in action.
