(iirc if you have [showdead] on you can click on the timestamp to the comment and will get a [vouch] option as a reverse-flag, fwiw. i see it and don't have showdead enabled, so enough people have re-vouched it!)

I did not know that and I’ve been here quite a while…

Sure it does. Open a modal using .

I could still tab behind the dialog

What dialog, the examples in the article? It doesn't have any dialogs that use `command="show-modal"`, only "show-popover".

Here's an example of "show-modal". It also has an opacity transition.

Popover, dialog, invoker commands, our entire production app uses these everywhere and it works really well! The fact that dialogs and popovers are rendered on the "top layer" and that nested popovers are also automatically stacked on top of each other and have 'cascading close' shows how well these standards were designed. The only hard thing is still to position a popover near the element that triggers it, such as…

> The only hard thing is still to position a popover near the element that triggers it, such as when you want to create a context menu that has to render above/below the button that triggered it. There is anchor positioning in CSS now but support is still limited and I find it hard to wrap my head around. I was going to suggest anchor positioning. I found it difficult to wrap my head around too, but once it clicks it…

Thanks for giving me some confidence, I converted one of our popovers to use anchor positioning and it was actually rather easy. Just had to use anchor-scope which not all tutorials use!

I'm curious how many people are involved in the design of your app and what their concerns are. Testing for accessibility and on mobile devices has a tendency to derail the best intentions. What tools are you using for those concerns? I'm not asking because I need advice. I'm asking because I want to know what you or your team did.

It's a small team of four, everyone works on the "full stack" which is Rails with HTMX and very little JS. As the lead dev, I am usually the one to make the decision that we should use the modern browser standards.

It's a niche B2B SaaS app and luckily we know most of our users personally. They all use modern browsers, usually Chrome or Edge on Windows. There is not a lot of mobile usage although we do support it.

Although I've used that phrase myself in the past, I've come to hate it. Somebody will post it on every HN thread where any form of suggestion has been made. If it's part of a paragraph of insightful commentary, it's meaningful. On its own it's not, it appears as though the poster chose to copy-and-paste a cliché instead of bothering to tell us what their specific disagreement even is (perfectly reasonable sarcasm fr…

Try using dialog in safari. It causes full layout recalculation and overloads cpu even on simple pages.

HTML can do everything yes. But the world is not ready

Can we stop calling them skills? They're mostly just documents like any other. Call them cheat-sheets or guides. Wrapping an .md file in all this circus, with lingo carefully designed to hide the fact that under the hood you're really just dumping another text file into the LLM's context , helps nobody but people's AI psychosis. But I guess "my LLM can use skills" sounds a lot cooler than "my LLM can read text files"…

I have started hearing echoes of how LLMs are "conscious" on every forum I go. Strange times.

The godfather of AI himself, Geoffrey Hinton, believes LLMs are conscious.
