Mind-blowing they have to be forced imho. Them and Samsung gatekeeping app minting is a bit of a jerk move. (Just my personal opinion, not my employer's)

You also need the device posture API to do cool stuff with foldables. These two APIs work great together and can make your web sites shine and bend. ๐Ÿ˜œ

don't get me wrong, I like the design, but it did spark my curiosity about how accessible these are. ๐Ÿค”

and on this `liquid glass`, it looks cool, but I am a bit concerned about the accessibility implications of these designs?

For example, look at the contrast in the text for artist's name. Also the `clear` theme looks like it can be challenging to distinguish things. Is this form over function?

Just saw the new `Liquid Glass` design language from Apple. Interestingly, I think it is a good opportunity to remind web folks of this explainer that can bring this type of materials to web apps: github.com/MicrosoftEdg...

Thumbs up if you approve ๐Ÿ˜‰

I'm not a UX designer, but I am sure macOS putting the Erase option next to the Eject one is probably not the best idea.

How do HTML event handlers work?

HTML event handlers are those onxxx attributes and properties many of us are used to, but do you know how they actually work?

If you're writing custom elements and would like them to have such event handlers, what would you have to do?

"Sticky activation (or 'sticky user activation') is a window state that indicates a user has pressed a button, moved a mouse, used a menu, or performed some other user interaction."
