For years i've been making examples of automated #Accessibility using axe-core and I have had various little reporting utils I have made to showcase the data.
I have started to put them together in one spot. It's not ready yet for NPM but soon!

I am finding that the iOS Snapshot library is SUPER power for #Accessibility testing.
You can literally see the #A11y tree for an application and find if it changes overtime to identify issues really quickly. Super powered if you know how to use it!

Does focus move into the modal, does focus move back to the trigger, does focus stay in the modal. It is really powerful to have these tests to ensure that functionality remains
One of the things I have been jamming with lately, is how much developers can write regression tests to ensure their content is accessible and REMAINS accessible.
It is really powerful what you can do. One of the most simple ones i have is modals:

“The accessibility teams at universities are frequently the most dedicated to making the institutions a welcoming and inclusive place," says O'Connor, who is blind. "But they have no budget, no people, and no authority."
- ain’t that a quote of all quotes to summarize #Accessibility
Cognitive load refers to how much working memory or short-term memory someone is using at a time. Minimizing the cognitive load it takes to use your site makes it more accessible for people with cognitive disabilities. Limit what you're asking users to remember to use your site.
How awesome!!!
Haven’t messed with this yet. But now 100% will be trying out all of these. This is really cool!
"Learn Accessibility" is a course that takes you through the essentials for building accessible websites and web apps. Created for both beginners and advanced users, this course can be taken beginning to end, or used as a reference for specific topics.

Trump promised no new wars and has engaged in military action in Iran, Venezuela, Yemen, Somalia, Nigeria, Syria and Iraq.
Trump promised to end the Russia-Ukraine war in 24 hours. It's still raging a year later.
The next Big Lie is to taking shape right in front of us. Donald Trump will try to use this to assert illegal and unconstitutional powers over the 2026 elections.
The “admin of peace” sure loves starting wars and attacking other countries. We suck.
Want to get some automated #Accessibility testing for your iOS application?
Then make use of the XCUI testing library that uses the same rule as the #A11y inspector in XCode and build better regression tests!

Some people have been asking me to keep going with #365DaysIOSAccessibility, and I will! I promise!
But the other big ask was to have them all in one place. So here they are, in their new home:

Lots of great quotable lines from @deque's Axe-con, including this gem from @stephaniewalter.bsky.social: "You can't sprinkle eggs on the cupcake after baking it. Fixing accessibility later is messy, slow, ineffective!"

Steam Next Fest logo on top of a gradient blue-pink background. Next to it says the Next Fest runs from February 23rd to March 2nd at 10AM Pacific time.
It's that time of the year again! It's Steam Next Fest! 🎮
We'll be sharing demos of games we're excited to play with amazing accessibility features until March 2nd! 🎉🎉
Share and repost to help shine a spotlight on these amazing games and their developers!
Me!
Quick note to remind everyone that tomorrow is the first day of axe-con 2026, a free accessibility conf organized by @deque.com. A fantastic opportunity to dive into topics of #accessibility and #InclusiveDesign. Do you want to learn more?, join at www.deque.com/axe-con/ #axecon #a11y #a11d
So the President of the United States illegally taxed our groceries, clothes, and other basics goods for nearly a year.
Where’s our refund?
Messing with some interesting stuff today. Puppeteer has an accessibility snapshot option. Its really cool that a testing framework lets you see the whole #Accessibility tree and you can write tests off of it. So dope!

I wrote for @zeroheight.com about the types of things automated accessibility checks can't detect when auditing and evaluating your design systems for accessibility. #a11y zeroheight.com/blog/design-...
When it comes to automated #Accessibility, a lot of teams will go the simple route, like Axe.
Did you know that in #PlayWright you can take your #A11y testing further? Check it out!

I have done this before for some of my workshops, but I need a quicker manner to do it, and hoping by doing this I can locate some of the common issues. Not all, as I would be using automated libraries to run regression scripts
Currently working on a project that will be able to scan multiple applications and get a “heat check” for basic mobile #Accessibility issues.
The idea is similar to WebAIM, to find what the common issue are across a multitude of apps and report the data
I legit have never, ever understood why that is not the damn default!
A pink heart shot through with a white cane instead of Cupid's arrow. The letters "BNW" are printed on the heart in braille. Text reads "Happy Valentine's Day!" and the BlindNewWorld logo is at the bottom of the graphic.
It's #ValentinesDay, a day to celebrate things we love.
Here in the #BlindNewWorld, #accessibility, #inclusion, #advocacy and our community are at the top of the list. ❤️
