✍️ When I started looking around for things to write up for this issue, I was surprised at how.. quiet it was – even Björk would have something to say about it. Everyone's probably taking a well-earned nap after RubyKaigi, so for this week, we make the most of things by going a little off piste here and there.. :-) __ Your editor, Peter Cooper |

Eleven HTML Best Practices for Login & Sign-up Forms — It's not Ruby specific, but this is a pretty quiet week, the Evil Martians blog about Ruby a lot, and.. you almost certainly have an app with a login or signup form that doesn't live up to all of these best practices 😉
