Do we have to reinvent the wheel?
summary
The talk makes concrete claims: design tools now repeat what exists rather than enable new web capabilities, and CSS already lets designers build things previously thought impossible — a working CSS-only clock, a Rubik’s-cube UI and a no-JavaScript 3D “computer” all built by students. It reports practical projects that succeed (a Raspberry Pi phone turned into a Spotify player, a content pipeline producing 25,656 books), shows accessibility failures in a certified building, and demonstrates screen‑reader prototyping and alternative‑text animations that actually work.
