RC Day 45 - Summit

Guess I did just need a slump day, because today I am jazzed to work on a thing I started before RC. I’d stalled on it because it requires a combobox input, and there isn’t a good off-the-shelf option in svelte for my purposes, so I’m implementing it myself. I was intimidated about getting the a11y stuff right, but:

1. the WAI-ARIA guide is really good. It includes implementations of different kinds of comboboxes. It’s still gonna be some work to get right but I’m pumped about it.
2. I’m way more confident at front-end and svelte than I was coming in. It’s easy to overlook gradual improvement, but I now feel comfortable tackling more complex interfaces than I previously would have.

In other news, I booked to go to Svelte Summit! This will be my first international travel since March 2020, so we’ll see how that goes.
