Building a standalone bookmarks web application – D’Arcy Norman, PhD

The process of vibecoding (gag) this thing went pretty well. To be transparent, it was definitely not a one-shot vibecoding thing.

Randy suggests talking to someone about their marriage, but instead of a counselor, he consults ChatGPT, much to Sharon’s ire, pointing out that the sycophantic artificial intelligence (AI) software indiscriminately praises all his ideas.

Making collapsed content accessible with hidden=until-found  |  CSS and UI  |  Chrome for Developers

Collapsing content sections, sometimes described as an accordion, are a common UI pattern. However, content hidden in the collapsed sections becomes impossible to search using a find-in-page search. Also, it isn’t possible to link to text fragments inside collapsed regions.

The hidden=until-found HTML attribute and beforematch event can solve these problems. By adding hidden=until-found to the container for your hidden content, you make it possible for the browser to search text in that hidden region, and reveal the section if a match is found.
