Utopia WCAG warnings | Trys Mudford

Wouldn’t it be great if all web tools gave warnings like this?

As you generate and tweak your type scale, Utopia will now warn you if any steps fail WCAG SC 1.4.4, and tell you between which viewports the problem lies.

Extending Responsive Video with HTML Web Components | Scott Jehl, Web Designer/Developer

Scott gives a thorough step-by-step walkthrough of building an HTML web component, in this case for responsive video:

In this post, I’m going to talk briefly about responsive video, but most of the post will be about using HTML web components to extend native video behavior in very helpful ways. But even if you’re not particularly interested in video development, stick around as I’ll demonstrate how to build an HTML Web Component to progressively enhance anything you need.

zachleat/table-saw: A small web component for responsive `table` elements.

Now, this is how you design a web component. It’s a progressive enhancement.

Wrap your existing table element inside table-saw and it will behave responsively. If anything goes wrong with the JavaScript, the fallback is the regular table that’s already in your markup.

I just wish the installation didn’t assume that you’re using npm …it’s not really “zero dependency” if it depends on that.

On Container Queries, Responsive Images, and JPEG-XL – Cloud Four

Container queries can’t be used in the sizes attribute for responsive images. Here, Jason breaks down why that is (spoiler: it’s the lookahead pre-parser) and segues into a truly long term solution: a “magical” image format.

If you’ve ever thought it felt weird to put media conditions inside the HTML for responsive images, this will resonate.

Container queries are like buses: you’re waiting for ages and then two come along at once.

This switch() syntax looks interesting.
