Web Directions

💕 As a Product Lead, you can never have enough BFFs ⚔️ But good ones are hard to come by, am I right? 🆕 Wanna make some new ones? Here’s 12 you can get to know at Web Directions Summit 👇🧵 See thread below 🦜 2 weeks till end of Early Bird 👉 bit.ly/3OE4QRW

@ramkumarshankar for some reason Firefox is loading a much older style sheet–no other browser is–the caches are all cleared etc. Could you try a hard reload?

hey @webdirections, just a heads up that your conference schedule page is broken on Firefox. For a web-focused event, this seems like a significant oversight. Could someone fix this please?

@dripgrillionair OK that's back now #teamoffers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">webdirections.org/dev-summit/ind…

@webdirections What are the team offers for your 2024 Sydney Dev Summit? #teamoffers" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">webdirections.org/dev-summit/#te… doesn't go anywhere.

@dripgrillionair shoot us a line info@webdirections.org (and I'll check what's gone wrong there)

@alexanderdanilo @bradneuberg yeah we do a bunch of post production on these and they'l come out early next year hopefully (the raw stream is up there now, drop me a line Brad and I can hook you up for those)

@bradneuberg @webdirections It was recorded but I'm not sure what the Web Directions folks release schedule is. They let all attendees and remote folks watch any time but public release gets delayed IIRC

On Friday I was lucky enough to show my latest work at @webdirections . It's an implementation of an editor for Word documents that runs entirely client side using WASM and other web tech. Fully offline capable it'll change the web editing space. Stay tuned for the real release..

@webdirections kicking off thanks to @johnallsopp

Hello #WebDirectionsSummit! Spotted us in the foyer yet? The accessibility force is with you. Come and say hello, pick up some of our merch, and book a session to meet people who have access needs (and ask them questions). Details: intopia.digital/articles/find-… #a11y @WebDirections

Talk about Neurodiversity at work really close to my heart @webdirections

So stoked to be speaking in 2 days at @webdirections on `Breaking up long tasks`! Wrote about it here: calendar.perfplanet.com/2022/breaking-… Details here: webdirections.org/summit/ Looking forward! @maxine @johnallsopp

Embeddings: What they are and why they matter A stellar introduction by @simonw on a powerful but not particularly well understood generative AI technology. buff.ly/3SizJi2

After a couple of years, I'm thrilled to be back in Sydney! Excited to be part of @webdirections this week! #WebDirections

Making content operations sexy... who thought letting me speak at @webdirections was a good idea?? Too late, it's happening. Come hear me talk about how we've changed our whole approach for content strategy projects, for long lasting impact.

I've got a strong hunch there are going to be some major changes to the way we access the web in the near future. Talking about it this Thursday at @webdirections! Deets here: webdirections.org/summit/schedul…

Revamping my talk on the expanding dark forest & generative AI for @webdirections conference in Sydney this week: maggieappleton.com/forest-talk Just quickly adding 6 months of new AI capabilities and cultural developments to the slides... should only take a minute.

WCAG version 2.2 has been released into the wild! If you're a designer, you can find out from me and @new_zoeland how to start applying it in your work right now. We're speaking about it at @webdirections Summit in just (checks watch) 15 days!

This looks like an excellent into to the workings of Large Language Models (LLMs). These deep-dives from @AlphaSignalAI start explaining things from the ground up, requiring very little if any background knowledge. buff.ly/45p4IfB

@LeaVerou @jordangray @asktog Chapter 4 of the Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines covers menus (including an aversion to submenus) dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.555… From memory this or something similar covered submenu behaviour and mousing but that doesn't appear to be in that doc.

@jordangray @asktog I remembered it was around that era but not that it was specified by @asktog, do you have a source? I just tried to find one and failed miserably.

This is lovely but individual component authors should not need to figure this on their own. Menus and submenus are such a fundamental GUI component that it should be native to the web platform like it is on every other platform…

It's nearly go time! Can't wait to see everyone.

Can’t wait! Will I see you there?
