Notes
- Going around to discuss what we have been doing on our websites in the last few weeks
- https://ggirelli.info/: switched from third-party requests to self-hosting (or changing service)
- Navigation bars - hamburgers
- Don't use details/summary because it has poor screenreader support
- JS is worth using
Use of emojis probably did more for the Unicode support than anything else. Because the people in the west expected it to just work.
