The web needs a HIG.
All of these people who keep saying that webapps can replace desktop applications were simply never desktop power users. They don’t know what they don’t know.

Yeah it would be nice if the web accessibility guidelines also focused on actually using the thing normally. For example: offsetting the scrollbar from the right edge of the screen by 1px should be punishable by death.
I think HIG means "Human Interface Guidelines" here. Seems to be an Apple thing.
I wish more people would avoid or at least introduce abbreviations that may be unfamiliar to the audience.
I think it was a Xerox thing. But since the 90s, everybody has some since.
Oh, and if you want to read one to learn, the Microsoft ones are better than the Apple's.
Microsoft had one too: WIG!
