#accessibility

🔥 Job opportunity for a frontend developer who wants to work in an open and inclusive company in Amsterdam.

We need someone who can take accessibility and the front-end to the next level for our corporate site and ehealth platform. #frontend #front-end #jobs #a11y

Decided to go for it! 💪

I'm currently in the progress of informing my direct colleagues about my choice. It feels like I'm ending at least seven relationships at the same time. 😭

#NewJob

Two ex-colleagues contacted me to join their tiny startup company. I get the freedom to focus on things I deem important, I can help steer and grow the company and the salary is (much) better if they agree with my proposal. But for some reason I feel bad to leave my current job. Mostly because of the people... I know I should not stay somewhere because of the people... so I guess I already made up my mind.

I need some advice. For some reason the toolbar buttons (bold, italic etc) for this online text editor are not accessible by keyboard tab.

There are keyboard shortcuts available (CMD + b for bold for example). I think tab should be available for accessibility reasons, but apparently the creators of this editor have a different opinion. What do you think?

Good excuse to use the new poll functionality.

I can't do anything else but laugh when I read these color variables in our Sass codebase.
It's so bad, it's good:
- $gray-slightly-lighter
- $gray-lighteres

So what makes The Orville so much more entertaining than Star Trek Discovery? I watched most of the second season of The Orville within a few days. I have a hard time going back to Discovery, knowing I will just get utterly bored by most of its characters (not the red haired girl, I like her) and ridiculous plot lines. I'm three episodes behind...

Sunday sysadmin-day. It's beautiful weather outside, but I've been inside and set up Tiny Tiny RSS on my NAS, to replace the external version I run somewhere else.

Now the Super Mario 3D World original soundtrack... Much better ❤️

Clicked on 'Less listened' radio in #Funkwhale and now I'm listening to Merzbow... 😳

So I managed to set up #Funkwhale on my Synology with Docker, made it available from outside of my home, use my own domain, reversed proxied it and set up SSL! Not bad for a front-end developer 😉

Kudos for my marketing department colleagues on letting me implement DNT functionality on the website.

Let's see how long it will last until I have to roll it back 😂

And we're available outside of my home! Next steps:
- link it to my domain
- SSL
- Test apps
- Add family/friends

#Funkwhale

Woo! I somehow managed to have my local music library symlinked and mounted on Docker on my Synology.
