This, right here, is why companies everywhere should not use social media alone for service status updates.

The fact that Proton's status page says we should go to Twitter for "more information" means that Proton is less accessible to folks without Twitter accounts. And that's no good.

Recently I learned about a handy way to prevent scrolling while focusing an element:

element.focus({ preventScroll: true })
