Great words by @matthiasott.com, someone I'm delighted to call a friend

> the Web isn’t just a bunch of servers and websites. The Web is the people building it. The Web is community.

Only 2 days left until I close the call for papers for this year's #HTMHellAdventCalendar

Manuel Matuzović @matuzo.at · 20d

So far I've received 11 submissions for this year's #HTMHellAdventCalendar. They look fantastic, but, you know, I need at least 24.

You can write about anything you want related to HTML. There's no “too basic”; we need more fundamental HTML knowledge out there because we suck at the basics. 1/2

Hello, my dear friends of high-quality markup! We're getting closer to the last quarter of 2025, which means that the HTMHell Advent Calendar is getting closer, too. Last year, once again, you contrib...

Listening to the accidental specialism episode of #unfinishedBz with Andy Clarke and @clagnut.com

Humbled to get a shout out but @londonwebstandards.org is not just me I’m the noisy one.

pods.link/ep/gb/i/1000...

Screenshot of a transcript which reads:
“Buy your ticket early. I know Dave Lattore has been talking about this a lot whenever he does one of his state of the browsers in London, which is one of the events that I go to whenever it's on. And it's always buy your tickets early, because otherwise it must be a nightmare to predict.

It's very hard, and particularly for something like the state of the browser for Dave, that's a one man show. Kind of like Beyond Teller and Mark Tealer there, basically it's a one man show. And you've got individuals there who are relying on it.”

Anyone got a talk on #HTML6 for next year’s stateofthebrowser.com

Vale @vale.rocks · 26d

I heard a rumour that they're releasing HTML6 next week, which deprecates semantics and introduces 3 new types of div.

Can't wait!

Our awesome friends are about to end the early bird pricing. Trust us it’s worth whatever price you pay but if you need the early bird price do it soon!!!

7 days left of our early bird pricing. Then tickets close for the summer holidays, and reopen at full price.

#Disabled folks, particular people who use assistive technology for web browsing, how do you feel #accessibility has been improving or not over the last few years?

This is for a talk I want to write about the actual impact of accessibility regulations and compliance. Boosts and thoughts welcome!
