I got the ADHD, too This month I got my official diagnosis for Adult ADHD. It’s fun to share experiences with friends. While ADHD presents some new waters to navigate, it isn’t exactly news to me. Thanks to Dr. Ti... daverupert.com · daverupert.com [1] Cheers to the Unique brains dave. I can say I am 100% with Dave on all of these, except the clean environment thing, lucky Dave.

Today i got hit by this accessibility issue on my site. Low contrast links are not distiniquishable. I had not seen this error title before it was new to me, maybe I have bad memory or maybe it’s new to me. [1] I ended up dropping the background color of the site down a notch as I didn’t really care for the semi-dark brown anyways. I’m liking the near black bg-zinc-950 much better now. [2] Now I got that 100 A11y score in lighthouse.
