Love this and was my first introduction to the <ruby> HTML element (this feels like a great expanded use case). Also couldn't agree more re: your point on the resurrection of "old internet" blogs, it's a trend I'm very much enjoying.

Ruby is used extensively for Japanese (hiragana) and Chinese (bopomofo) -- you can see it on wiktionary, e.g. in the definition of manga [1]. The Rules for Simple Placement of Japanese Ruby spec [2] provides various examples of ruby formatting and layout.

really enjoyed reading this and learning about <ruby>.

Extremely cool and niche and what appears to be the blog's inaugural post: https://www.djmurphy.net/blog/

Added to the feed.

> It turns out the <ruby> element does not have defined screenreader behavior yet

"Yet" made me chuckle. It's coming soon!

Also: spot the skyline :)

I'm somewhat disappointed that I couldn't find a unicode character corresponding to the "long r". Anyway this is peak typography and delighted to see efforts to put proper clóscríobh on the web. Pairs nicely with an ogham terminal.
