I Learned The First Rule of ARIA the Hard Way | CSS-Tricks Semantic HTML does a lot more accessibility work than we usually give it credit for already — and ARIA is simple to abuse when we use it both as a shortcut and as a supplement.

Once again, for those who need to hear it: ARIA alters semantics, not behavior. css-tricks.com/i-learned-th...

It’s hard to justify Tahoe icons Looking at the first principles of icon design—and how Apple failed to apply all of them in macOS Tahoe

With all the yearly statistics being released, such as Spotify and LinkedIn Wrapped, my favourite so far was Lidl Wrapped. Apparently I bought 112 blocks of tofu this year, followed by 38 baguettes and 32 broccoli 😄

Cloudflare is down again? I guess some can start into an early weekend then 😬

I got a new phone and am not yet used to this always on display. I have the constant feeling that I have a new message, which catches my attention, distracts me and is really stressing me out. Unsure if I'll get used to it at some point or if I should just turn this feature off 😅

In line with International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the UX Salon Barcelona focused on #accessibility. Agnese D’Alfonso shared practical ways & examples from her work, to embed #a11y into everyday decision-making and collaboration with stakeholders to create products that work for everyone.

I was part of the peer review selection process for this year's #ZeroProject shortlisted nominees, and there are some amazing projects out there 🌱✨ Today, on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the full list of all 75 awardees was published: zerocon26.zeroproject.org/components/5...

The Impact of Web Accessibility Overlays | Master's Thesis by Daniela Kubesch This thesis, published in 2024, investigates the impact of accessibility overlays on the usability and user experience (UX) for individuals with permanent visual impairments. The conducted research…

Daniela Kubesch wrote her Master's Thesis on "The Impact of Web Accessibility Overlays on the Usability and User Experience for People with Permanent Visual Impairments".

Now we can say "Scientific research has shown that accessibility overlays are ineffective."

Daniela Kubesch says that even though the web now has more AI-written articles than human ones, they often don't perform as well.

Will AI content always come second place? 🤔

A living room with a green couch, plants and pillows spread across the floor. Daniela is taking a sip from her Stanley Cup while standing in front of her Laptop, which is positioned on a suitcase that is on a table.

To record this episode, I transformed my living room into a video podcast studio. I spread all the cushions I could find on the floor, arranged various lights that I had collected from different rooms in my flat and used my suitcase as a laptop stand.

I definitely felt like a pro with this set-up 😎

I am part of the latest @workingdraft.de episode (#683), where @schepp.dev, Marco Bretschneider and I are spinning the “Wheel of Fortune” 🎙️

We discuss use cases, possible stumbling blocks and useful alternatives of selected #ARIA attributes.

🔗 The full episode: workingdraft.de/683/

In der ARIA-Glücksrad-Folge sprechen wir über aria-brailleroledescription (WAI-ARIA 1.3): warum der Braille-Fokus sinnvoll ist, weshalb korrekte Befüllung ohne Domänenwissen schwer ist – und warum es selten „in freier Wildbahn“ auftaucht.

WIENFLUSS celebrated 20-years with a lovely party & #accessibility in mind 🎉🥂

You could try Braille Scrabble, learn about assistive devices, or relax in a room that had been decorated with candles and fairy lights to create a cosy atmosphere, offering some relief from #sensory #overload

What is a #browser #bookmarklet?

A bookmarklet is a tiny app that you save in your browser's bookmarks bar, without the need to install anything. When you click on the bookmark, it adds functionality on the current page. Yes, it's that simple!

Accessibility Bookmarklets by CAAT.report Simplify accessibility testing, right from your browser with bookmarklet powered by CAAT.report.

Simplified Accessibility Testing, right from your browser?! 💡🔍

I created this little landing page to showcase all the #a11y browser #bookmarklets powered by #CAAT and coded by my team here at mindscreen: tools.caat.report

Perhaps one of these could be integrated into your #testing process? 👀

No sign-up. No registration. All sessions are streamed live and publicly, and include automated live closed captions. After the event, these are replaced by manually edited closed captions.
