My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website.
accessibilityforeveryone.site
The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.
Published a new piece on my site explaining one of my big takeaways from Episode 066 with @laurakalbag.bsky.social. Such a fun convo!

See you Thursday!!
Awesome!!!
Someone shared this in today’s episode of The Question. So grateful they did!
Just read this from @hazelweakly.me. Now, I can't wait to read the rest of Hazel's writing. If you're into #designsystems give it a look...and I'm guessing this line will resonate: "people who become known for seeing systems often become in charge of them."

Be there shortly.
Question three for this episode reads, "In the world of the web, we have the W3C: “The World Wide Web Consortium develops standards and guidelines to help everyone build and enjoy a web based on the principles of accessibility, internationalization, privacy and security.” Do you believe we need a similar set of industry-wide design system standards?"

A few years back, I nearly wrote "The Fallacy of Federated Design Systems." Then @nathanacurtis.bsky.social beat me to it. But what happens when you try it anyway?
At Spotify, I watched federated fail twice, resulting in a huge number of barely reused components and damaged trust in design systems.
