For the unaware, macOS has settings or preferences or whatever it’s renamed tomorrow. Buried deep within this UI labyrinth are pointer settings. Windows has similar hidden behind Candy Crush ads and Copilot slopware. Personally, I find the default “normal” cursor ludicrously small on my 14-inch […]| dbushell.com (blog)
Croissant v0.4 is out! I fixed a few minor bugs and added favicons. Feature Requests I’ve had a surprising amount of feedback. I wasn’t expecting anyone to care about an app I designed for myself. Thanks to all who managed to navigate my contact form. […]| dbushell.com (blog)

Do you build websites like me? Maybe you’re an Apple user, by fandom, or the fact that macOS is not Windows. You’ve probably heard about this Linux thing. But what is it? In this post I try to explain what is a Linux and how Linux does what it be. […]| dbushell.com (blog)
I’m taking one last stab at my contact form before it’s binned forever. Back in May I came up with a “progressive dehancement” technique to validate form submissions. For non-JavaScript ‘users’ I took the drastic measure of blocking all @gmail and @outlook addresses. […]| dbushell.com (blog)
As blog topics go, last week’s Next.js clownshow was a freebie. A bit of front-end dev and a middle finger to fascism. I had it drafted before my tea went cold. I wasn’t expecting round two to hit harder. This week I momentarily lost the will to blog. Ok, I’m being very dramatic. […]| dbushell.com (blog)
Trump’s National Design Studio has an executive order to “modernize the interfaces that serve everyday citizens”. That means rich/white people (but not the ‘disabled’ kind). The US government had digital service agencies that cared about a performant and accessible web until they got the DOGE […]| dbushell.com (blog)
CSS “resets” are boilerplate code designed to remove or normalize browser defaults. They provide solid foundation to build bespoke CSS upon. When utilised correctly they should be unobtrusive. Any quirks being ones of personal taste and flair. […]| dbushell.com (blog)

I was hesitant to post this because the WHATWG & friends war party is strong on the defence! I’d ask for parley but this is going to get spicy so I won’t feign friendship. I want my web career to survive. I want the web to be better. I want to address the trillion dollar elephants in the room. […]| dbushell.com (blog)
The one where I officially release my web app| dbushell.com
As the VC-funded web continues to ensloppify, it’s important to remember that we don’t need to play their games. Despite billion dollar efforts the web remains decentralised. We can hyperlink right past the wannabe gatekeepers. Like this hyperlink to the Animal Photo Reference Repository. […]| dbushell.com (blog)

Welcome to RSS Club! The first rule of RSS Club is: you tell everyone about RSS Club. RSS is the best way to follow weblogs. I’ve used NetNewsWire for years and I’m now building Croissant RSS to control my own reading experience. Croissant will be available in September as kind of a “beta” release. […]| dbushell.com (blog)
