   So many bugs to fix

   The idea of a productivity based browser is great but since this browser is still new, it has trouble with a lot of things. Sometimes it doesn't open a new tab when i try, sometimes web apps don't open, and overall its not a smooth experience that i could recommend to people

   🏁 Competitors: Vivaldi, Mozilla Firefox, Brave

   👍 Pros:    Everything you need is in the homepage|Looks really pretty|Focuses on productivity|Has control over ram usage and data|A search option that searches all throughout your history, bookmarks, web and everything

   👎 Cons:    A buggy performance|Short term freezes|Might need some time getting used to the web apps

• Making Twitter likes/bookmarks backup tool as side quest of offline first browser (that saves everything)

  I've been developing frontend in-memory graph DB / state manager for 1) replication 2) incremental sync 3) fast rendering (without VDOM/react). Used in https://seesu.me & https://meetsidekick.com (where I was 1st engineer). Source: over 2 years ago

• Making Twitter likes/bookmarks backup tool as side quest of browser that saves everything

  To make snapshot it takes current state of DOM, current state of styles (to capture CSS-in-JS stuff), take resources like font/images from network storage (Chrome Dev Tools protocol) and saves it as HTML on disk.

• Is there any good web accessibility course out there that teaches you how to implement accessible components such as navigation menus and stuff?

  The W3C website is a great resource, the section on ARIA](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/) and as others have pointed out the patterns section is great and includes examples. Source: about 2 years ago

• im learning... html validator is seeing issues within like the first 2 lines. but i dont see anything that hasnt been perfectly validated before without issue... do you see a mistake?

  I copied that directly into the validator at w3.org and it showed no errors. https://validator.w3.org/nu is what you're using, yes? Source: over 2 years ago

• Site Issues From Site Checker

  Time to start Googling! Those are all solvable things that you can fix. The last ones in black are strange though... I have no idea what the reference to w3.org is for. Source: over 2 years ago

• What's causing script and stylesheet issues on my shop/product pages?

  Google tells me some pages on my website have mobile usability errors - detailed results on GSC show 45 of 75 resources couldn't be loaded, many are apparently script and stylesheet issues to do with the theme and some plugins. The affected pages also load very slowly on GTMetrix. I turned on minify html, css and js on my caching plugin but it didn't seem to help. I did a Validate CSS check using a tool on w3.org...

• WARNING! Do NOT go to bloodspells.com. It is loaded with malware, and if I was not heavily into computer security I would have been hacked. If you already visited the site, I STRONGLY recommend you do a security/anti-virus scan immediately.

  Depending on what prompted this issue, there are a myriad of resolutions. If it's your SSL certificate then you simply need to get that registered and compliant. If it's because of bad coding then you can check out https://w3.org to test your code and fix it. Otherwise, you could always hire or consult a web developer. Source: over 2 years ago
