I am looking for a full-time job. Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me. If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

I would love it if all operating systems (mobile or otherwise) supported toggling system authentication (biometric/password) when opening an app on a per app basis. No need for most app developers to even implement anything, and this would be a huge security boost for everyone.

Consistent layout makes websites easier to navigate and understand as it helps users learn what elements to expect and in what order. This is especially helpful to low vision users or blind users using a screen reader. It also helps those with cognitive and learning disabilities.
