Spent half the day trying to get tap/click events to work on SVG elements on #Webkit.

Managed to make it work on MacOS, failed on iOS.

Looked at other sites to figure out how they do it. Turns out they don't. They just don't.

Did I say "spent" half a day? I meant wasted.

At this point I am half thinking I'll have my sites just refuse to work on Webkit.

No, I won't file a bug, I've filed enough.

OurAirports is coping well with the traffic from the AI bots (about 45K hits/hour), but since page views are database-intensive, I've future-proofed it by adding a Varnish cache in front.

Since it's a high view/low update site, I'm putting the AI bots to work seeding the cache for me. I've set a 6 hour maxage and a lot of fancy invalidation for updates (which I hope will work).

Logged in users will skip the cache, while the bots will stay busy seeding it for each-other.

Especially useful for designers is when they realise that a lot of the fancy visual effects from Figma etc. can be recreated with CSS.

Even more, when realising that those can become reusable CSS styles for building things faster in the future. That way designers can build their own visual toolkit.

Happy Monday!

I believe that if you start the week by removing code is a good start of the week!

I learned how to leverage JWT to send encrypted data to the frontend.
And so I stripped down my system of hooks in React and also deleted completely an endpoint in Django that I was using solely to fetch user info.

Even more secure, with less code.

Thank you you two! Would either of you know how to resolve this particular issue?

Or anyone knowledgable about #Eleventy really!

When viewing tag RSS feeds, the permalinks don't take me to the posts in question but when I view my full site feed, everything is perfectly fine!

For reference, here is our Tag feed file.

As an example, the tag RSS feed on this page has post title links that go nowhere.
