Reilly Spitzfaden (they/them)<p>I hadn't heard of it before, but it turns out there's a style format called XSLT that allows the browser to translate an XML file into HTML with CSS styling for display purposes. <br> <br>Since my feed is Atom rather than RSS, I had a bit of trouble, but this post was helpful:</p><p><a href="https://andrewstiefel.com/style-atom-xsl/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">andrewstiefel.com/style-atom-x</span><span class="invisible">sl/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RSS</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Atom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Atom</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/XML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XML</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/HTML" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HTML</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/CSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CSS</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/XSL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XSL</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/XSLT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>XSLT</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/WebDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WebDev</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/IndieWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndieWeb</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/SmallWeb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmallWeb</span></a></p>

mem but wafrn 🐕<p>Web devs, need your help as a hobbyist learning things</p> <p>I have a gallery of my art and I want to have popups with descriptions of each to be triggered when you click on the image. What I understand that's what the modal is.</p> <p>Problem I have: all the tutorials are about modals showing same content, when I try to find the opposite it's featuring bootstrap. Is it necessary or I can just get away with vanilla JS? If so, can you please share resources?</p> <p>I also heard about "dialog" tag and heard that it's supposedly easier than classic modals, but I lack tutorials about it too</p> <p>(When replying please be patient, I barely have any JS knowledge)</p><br> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/webdev" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webdev</a>

Peter Kröner<p>So I can detect the default light/dark preferences using a media query and implement explict user choice by setting some sort of class on :root. I can write a selector to apply styles depending on the latter condition, and I can write a media query rule to handle the former. Is there any _one_ thing I can wrap my CSS with to handle both cases? Apply dark mode if a certain class is set, and otherwise defer to prefers-color-scheme? Precisely not as shown in the attached code?</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/css" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>css</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/webdev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>webdev</span></a></p>
Senna 🌷<p>Web devs: as an aspiring web dev who is studying independently and building a portfolio, do you think it would be useful for me in terms of getting a job to get a certificate in web dev/design from a university? I have a bachelor's degree in a mostly unrelated field and I'm not going to pursue a CS degree right now.</p><p>To clarify a couple points, my independent studies and projects are going great. I've built and deployed several web apps with mysql+node+express+vanillaJS type stacks (as docker containers), and I'm currently learning react and typescript. I don't feel that getting a cert from a university would be a large boon to my education, the only reason I'm considering it is because it might help my resume stand out.</p><p>So, my question is, do you think a certificate from a well-known university would help my resume stand out while applying for web dev jobs?</p><p>Thank you for your input, this is an important decision for me to make.</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/WebDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WebDev</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/JavaScript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JavaScript</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/programming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programming</span></a></p>

It's a me, Mauro<p>After experiencing an episode of aura and consequent migraine, the other day I decide to give a shot at light themes.</p><p>I think I spend so much time staring at various screens that having this kind of issues is almost inevitable, so I need to mitigate it.</p><p>First I switched my phone to light mode, and I could already feel the improvement.</p><p>Then the code editor (<a href="https://mograph.social/tags/neovim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>neovim</span></a>) UI.
