Web UI designers: We all have some form of password managers these days and our browsers can autofill in login forms. Don't make us type additional whitespace then delete it just to get past an assumption that any input will be keyed a character at a time.

I’ve been building a Wolfenstein 3D / ES: Arena-style renderer from scratch in plain JavaScript on the HTML5 Canvas. This isn’t WebGL; it’s a real, authentic, old-school raycaster using the same techniques as those games: per-column DDA ray stepping on a 2D grid, proper distance-corrected texturing, floor/ceiling casting, a z-buffer for sprite occlusion, Archways, Mid Textures, the works.

This last update smooths out Firefox support, smoother performance, and a bunch of gameplay/visual upgrades. If you’re into retro tech or just curious how 90s 3D was faked, give it a spin and tell me what you think.

After and started having problems with too high request rates, which led to my rate-limiting my whole PC, and a recurring with video players I've decided to try .

And I must say... I'm sort of impressed. Still the closed-source UI rubs me the wrong way (despite me understanding why they decided on that) and having to use Origin Lite, since the built-in adblock is trash is disappointing...

I'm still impressed... And it doesn't have any AI!

@krusynth I feel this hard - I moved to several static engines for a while, but ultimately went back to a custom (though I cheated and moved to dJango for the guts) blog engine that would fit right in in 1998-2002: database-backed, tailored just to my way of blogging, RSS/Atom feed, archives back to 2000, blogroll, etc.

I’m also working on adding back in the open web standards we built back then, the ones based on simple HTML and other bits of related fluff.

Any web designers out there know of a better 100% CSS responsive accessible dropdown menu than this?

(I think it'll work fine for the little project I'm rebuilding, but I want to check if there's an even more optimal approach out there)

Edit: This codepen has an interesting approach, but isn't responsive. Maybe I could make it responsive ... :) codepen.io/andornagy/pen/ALbdbJ

Modern CSS SolutionsCSS-Only Accessible Dropdown Navigation Menu | Modern CSS SolutionsThis technique explores using: animation with CSS `transition` and `transform`, using the `:focus-within` pseudo-class, CSS grid, and accessibility considerations for dropdown menus.

3.14 is out - https://github.com/brython-dev/brython/releases/tag/3.14.0 - (@ GitHub) - I’ve been using Brython for some tools I need to be web accessible and running locally, but due to the code complexity and UI simplicity it doesn’t really make any sense to port those to JavaScript. Brython performance is what it is, but it’s still more than enough with modern hardware for basic operations.

Do you remember that brief time where we called it HTML5 and CSS3 because we wanted people to know we meant the new-shiny

Gosh, do you remember some of the new HTML elements we got around that time, cracking stuff.
