How browsers REALLY load Web pages
When browsers load a Web page and its subresources, A LOT happens under the hood. They need to take into account render/parsing blocking resources, use a preload scanner, listen to resource hints (like preload/preconnect), loading modifiers (async/defer/module), fetchpriority, responsive images, and much more.

I have been beating my head on trying to get Flask-SocketIO to work with an existing #flask app and accept connections from a third-party origin.
I get 400 errors because the socket closes before a connection can be made. I've disabled CORS (local-only network) and have double checked that every library is compatible. Serving a websocket route from the app works, but it will not other hosts.
Anyone with experience able to take a look at a repo or offer insight?
#webDev
Why does it have to be that…
“To use the Mastodon web application, please enable JavaScript.”
?
I think I dug a hole for myself in the #webdev class again.
I offered groups a chance to build what they wanted using any skills/tools we've used so far this year.
One group was to build a chat app (websockets), so they need a server.
Two other groups want to make, essentially, CRUD apps, so I need to write up some DB schemas for them.
I'm wondering if it'd be better to teach them some Node and they write up their _own_ server-side code.
Today, #webdev students were invited to create their own project idea for the next couple weeks. It was _crazy_ - so many good ideas flying around.
One group is doing a review system for local places.
Another wants a chat app (they'll need to learn how to use websockets)
Another group is creating an informational site on baking
A fourth is tackling a simple game using P5.js.
So many good, skill-stretching ideas.

I should hashtag more. Let's do a new #introduction (occasionally updated) :)
I'm both an old hand and new to modern #webDev. I coded my own homepages in notepad(++) as a teenager, and in 2022 I became a #careerSwitcher from electronic/general #engineering to #frontEndDevelopment.
Side projects on the go:
Dev blog RSS aggregator: https://rs.sjoy.lol
CSS Joy webring: https://cs.sjoy.lol
Whimsica11y, accessibility for hobbyists: https://whimsica11y.net
Revised #introduction, w/hashtags: I loved living in #SanFrancisco for decades, but moved back to #Brooklyn last year to be with my Sweetie. I'm a front-end #WebDev (#ReactJS, #NextJS) in the early stages of writing an #urbanFantasy novel (maybe 1st of 3?). I love languages and #linguistics; I speak some #Spanish, some #Japanese, and lots of #LangBelta from #TheExpanse. I love #Celtic stuff, #sushi, and #cocktails. I'm #bisexual, #Pagan, #feminist, and #progressive. I'm here to find new friends.
Thought I had an #intro post, but apparently not.
