SPFx 1.22 feels like a “2.0” release: new build chain, Heft migration, lots of moving parts.
I wrote up a reproducible, AI-driven upgrade flow (risk assessment → upgrade branch → acceptance build → full docs) + a copy/paste prompt.

Once more for the folks in the back: accessibility is a human right. Your web standards godfather shares thoughts on a small atrocity.
Accessibility is a human right, cruelty a human wrong.
Once more for the folks in the back. Calibri is easier than Times New Roman for folks with certain visual disabilities to read. That’s why the Biden Administration chose Calibri for their digital communications: to include more people and make life just a wee bit easier for the disabled. And who in their right mind could object to that? You know who, and they’re not in their right mind—unless you’re talking far-right.

Fun, informative read | "Mythbusting: Image Accessibility in SharePoint" by @stfbauer.bsky.social. Get a closer look at how modern SharePoint handles images and accessibility, including the importance of ALT text when using the Image web part.

SharePoint + AI can build pages fast.
It can also amplify bad patterns just as fast.

I wrote a guide for site authors on using the Image web part accessibly – image links, lightbox, captions, “open in new window”, all the spicy bits.

Fluent UI 9 and SharePoint Brand Center finally speak the same language — typography. 🎨

GDrive is the Windows 95. You upload a document with a long name and it replaces it with "MyFile~1.docx".

The you have to go in and rename the file and everthing works fine.

Sure you don't need to write you life's story in the filename, but a behaviour like this in 2025?

Input fields of type number in HTML might seem to be a great option at first glance, but the negative side effects outweight the issues they have.

In my latest blog post I take a deep dive, what those issues are.

Too all the NodeJS developers out there. I found a really usefull tool to check if a number is-even with AI.

Especially usefull when you try to create a random number, because it is statistically 50% right and 50% wrong.

www.npmjs.com/package/is-e...
is-even-ai
Check if a number is even with the power of ✨AI✨. Latest version: 1.0.5, last published: 7 months ago. Start using is-even-ai in your project by running `npm i is-even-ai`. There are no other projects...

Four years ago I started to implement hTWOo using gulp as the engine driver to compile CSS.

see: lab.n8d.studio/htwoo/

For now I have a custom build chain for SASS, TS and a hot reloader. I call it ICE.

Sorry what do I need to agree too. Great User Experience and design.

Seems like I need to agree to the small print or just an empty list. 🤔

6 years ago i created a real mega menu for a customer. Now working on a mild relaunch and use some new CSS features to make the navigation more flexible.

Pretty amazed how far #css and feature rich it has become.

The rest of the navigation code still looks really ancient tbh.
