And if you want your AI agent to also understand what are the accessibility elements it needs to look for, there is an MCP and skill files!

Do you care about Accessibility? Or maybe you know someone that cares about building websites for everyone? Don't look further: frontendchecklist.io/rules/acces... Share the word!

I love react-native but that doesn't reduce the complexity of building a good mobile application, in a certain way yes (thanks expo-ui), but you still have to know how each system behaves, works, the strengths and weaknesses. But at the end, you've achieved something not a lot of people did!

As a Front-End Developer who’s been building websites and large platforms for multiple brands for years, I can tell you for sure... There’s nothing harder than building a mobile application that works on both iOS and Android. The amount of knowledge you need to learn and keep up with is insane!

9 years later and this is still happening... on a daily basis... Crazy!
Multiple users recently starred the same GitHub repository for a web development checklist, emphasizing its ongoing relevance.

The proposed LLMs.txt has advantages in reducing costs and for documentation help bots and human to have a better understanding of the overall content. Whatever this is the final best option, I don’t know… Who knows, but it’s at least a proposal in trying to fix some inconveniences.

To solve those challenges and others, people are trying to come up with options. Calling it a bad idea undermines the people trying something… just this week, I had to block Googles IPs for hitting one of my websites, with hundreds of requests. Was it related to LLMs or not I don’t know.

At the moment, bots (including Google) are provoking an augmentation of requests of websites multiple times because they are parsing way more than before. Plus, an LLM in scrolling some pages will not have the full vision of the overall content, pages etc…

Ideally all websites in the world would be clean and fully accessible… that way humans and bots can enjoy navigating websites and understand their structure… but that’s unfortunately not the case.

Yesterday, I wrote a proposal around "llms.txt" and "robots.txt". Whatever it's a good idea or not, there is a need for the web to adapt to this new era of LLMs. Let me know your thoughts! github.com/thedaviddias...

Hard take: the quality of tools ultimately depends on the skill and knowledge of the people using them.

Always! I’ve learned by now that there is always something overlocked, missed or that can be done better.

I’m currently working on an open-source project that aims to help teams organize all the links to tools and environments they use. What do you usually use to share those links between your colleagues?
