Nothing on the Olivero side. I'm a CSS maintainer now :partyparrot: , and I've been working on updating core's CSS coding standards (which are woefully out of date) at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rihTDDGy9-m0TGIadgz16TQ1aONc0OC3u2Tk....
Would love some help!

katannshaw
That’s great news @mherchel Congrats!

mherchel
On the front-end side, we've been having discussion about single directory components in core. We hopefully will have the issue created by the end of the week! This is really exciting stuff

katannshaw
Love it

I’m curious how you test your changes for non-LTR sites. Do you rely on RTL users to test/review or do you somehow set your test install to RTL?

katannshaw
Would you like this added as a topic or kept in here

mherchel
I usually modify the html element's dir attribute within dev tools. I've also hard coded it before. In some circumstances, I've installed Drupal using arabic, but I've only had to do that once

Tinto
@katannshaw This was more of a sneaky support question I guess, so I don’t know if this merits its own topic.

katannshaw
Cool, looks like @mherchel answered it for you :wink:

Tinto
Thank you! :pray:

Fun question: If you have pets, what are their names (photos are welcome :dog::cat::fish:)?
