Anyone else spend their lunch hour watching user session recordings? Or is that just me? 😜

Adding cards to a card sort is now possible 🚀

UX Feedback app is coming along nicely 😎

#UX #UserResearch #CardSort

Disclaimer: Still riffing on this idea, focused on desktop interaction with a mouse. Not fully accessible yet.

Changes:
✅ Card prioritization within a category
✅ Drop anywhere in a category
✅ Ability to leave some cards uncategorized
✅ Fixed an issue with the randomization of cards

Up next:
🔲 Adding your own cards
🔲 Cards in multiple categories

This is why I love working on the web. Yesterday, I posted about a small app I made to solve a problem. People used it and gave a bunch of feedback. That feedback is now incorporated! 🚀

Kick the tires on the new updates:

#UX #UserResearch

Started coding a UX testing idea I've had rolling around my head for a while. It starts with a card sort, but then rolls into much more. I can't wait to demo the rest 😀

It will be fun to show the results 😛

Bluesky has some of the most consistent and best examples of alt text usage on posts. 💛

Chrome is now supported 🚀

Social visual alt text extension with Bluesky support!
chromewebstore.google.com/detail/socia...

Visually see the alternative text for images/GIFs without clicking the "ALT" label. #accessibility

Social visual alt text browser extension is now live on Firefox 🚀 addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo...

This extension exposes the alt text (or lack of it) directly in the timeline instead of having to click the "alt" badge on an image.

Making progress on Bluesky support in the "Social visual alt text" browser extension. 😎

Screen shot of "Accessibility Settings" with two main categories: "Alt text" and "Media." Under Alt text, there are two toggle options labelled "Require alt text before posting," which is switched on. “Display larger alt text badges" Under Media, there’s an option labelled "Disable autoplay for videos and GIFs," which is switched on.

New to @bsky.app? We’ve got some etiquette just for you!

Turn on the little feature that reminds you to post alt text with your images. Alt text allows blind and partially sighted people to understand what's in your images using screen readers. Without alt text, it just says "image".
