"Help! None of my projects want to be SPAs" by Jason Goldstein https://whatisjasongoldstein.com/writing/help-none-of-my-projects-want-to-be-spas/

I agree with the author that React, unlike Angular or CoffeeScript, seems to have staying power. I think though that React's real innovation is the component model, and there are plenty of other frameworks that have taken that idea and run with it (Vue, Svelte, etc.).

"Designing for Dark Mode" by Kirupa https://www.kirupa.com/tricks/dealing_with_dark_mode.htm

`prefers-color-scheme: dark` is so cool. I gotta start using that.

@djoerd Oof, $790 a pop. 😬

@maxlath The closest is prefers-reduced-motion, but that's specifically for UI animation a11y: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/@media/prefers-reduced-motion

Already you can sniff screenreaders using a variety of techniques, but @tink has some interesting thoughts on why you may want to avoid that: https://tink.uk/thoughts-on-screen-reader-detection/

@zatnosk Fair! I probably shouldn't oversell how big PNW fediverse is. :)

@skiring Yup @reasdoinaheckinmeetup is one in Seattle; I believe there was one in London as well.

@zatnosk Oh for sure, I'm exaggerating. :) Still, I was surprised when I went to the Masto meetup in Seattle at how many avatars I recognized.

@dansup @yabirgb Awesome, any thoughts on a locale? I would humbly submit the PNW (Vancouver-Seattle-Portland), as it seems there are a lot of us around here. 🙂

@lucidiot the first step is to trick yourself 😜

@DialMforMara That would be awesome! Yeah, I love the focus on instance-specific customizations and building a certain type of community

@lucidiot this cannot be taught

@yabirgb @dansup I had no idea! That's awesome. How do I sign up for your newsletter? 😀

BTW in no way am I proposing that I want to be involved with running such a thing. I just want to will it into existence so I can attend and enjoy. 😊

@bugaevc Yeah I like the idea of having an instance for the conference itself, at the very least! :) Then others could just follow folks on that instance.

Topics I'd love to see at a fediverse conference:

- "Building a community on the fediverse"
- "Privacy and security for non-geeks"
- "The art of Mastodon bots"
- "Let's start an instance!"
- ...something else?

I love the Mastodon meetups, but what if we had a "Fediverse Conference"? Like with talks and stuff?

There could be tracks for technical topics and community topics, maybe a Q&A panel for instance admins. If we held it near Seattle or Portland, we could probably get half the fediverse, lol 😀

@mooshoe They support "TWAs" (Trusted Web Activities) which, based on my reading, are just another way to bundle a website as an APK. You still have to build the APK and submit it to the store exactly as you would with PhoneGap/Cordova/etc.

@ishara Chrome supports PWA installs on Linux and Windows at least. There's also Mastodon as a Sidebar for Firefox which is pretty neat: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mastodon-as-a-sidebar/
