have you perhaps given any thought as to why those voters don't show up? Could it be that Republicans win when Democrats run terrible candidates?

strangely, the $30 link on that page appears to direct you to the $300 lifetime page. If you're not careful you might end up signing up for more than you expect.

I can sympathise with that, but the sticking point for @npub1p09…m5vl I think is that this isn't just unfinished work lacking a few features, but rather unfinished work that's remained unfinished for so long *while still being used as the default* for years. This decision, that an unfinished product lacking fundamental #a11y functionality was "good enough to ship" is an ableist one.

alrighty then! I'm going to give some thought as to how to implement this.

that was originally the plan actually, but then I didn't want to impose undue load on archive.org. Do you know if they'd be ok with that and/or if they've got an API for such things?

I've finally finished my new #Django module, "django-cool-urls". You can use it to make sure your site never has another outgoing dead link, or just to convert YouTube embeds into proper <video> tags pointing to local files.
Explanatory blog post: https://danielquinn.org/blog/django-cool-urls/
PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/django-cool-urls/
Source code: https://gitlab.com/danielquinn/django-cool-urls
Docs: https://danielquinn.gitlab.io/django-cool-urls/
It's already in use on my own site, but perhaps someone else will find it useful.
