I have a question for anyone who happens to be knowledgeable about web standards:
The same way we had the (failed?) "DoNotTrack" header... Is there any working group or initiative working on an #HTTP header sent by the browser (or similar mechanism) to signal that the user wants an ecological/lightweight website? Something like "SaveEnergy" or "LowEnergy", or "LightweightMode".
Would it make sense? Or do you foresee that it would fail for some specific reasons?
P.S.: Of course I would prefer if we didn't have to signal our discontent with the unjustifiably big and unoptimized web pages that we are served.
P.S.2: Now I am feeling tempted to write a browser extension for people who want to use "alternative communication channels" (HTTP headers) to "yell" arbitrary stuff at certain websites (It would be glorious if we could coordinate a big "Fuck you, Google", or, in a more positive tone, "Free Palestine!").

A cool open source UI component library, but a lot of them I looked at don't have good semantics or accessibility compliance. #webdevelopment

I know you people learnt #frontend #WebDevelopment mostly online...
But could any of you recommend a **GOOD** book on #CSS (preferably as up to date as possible)?

Is that an open source alternative to Framer/WebFlow? #Frappe #webdevelopment
