I spent 44 hours refining our sitemap + writing new copy and design briefs for 29 webpages this week... and I didn't even get to check off a to-do in Basecamp, because apparently we never created one. 🤔 Will I get the same dopamine hit if I create one and immediately check it off?

Go behind-the-scenes of our audit process Thurs. 3/5 @ 10 AM CST. I'll demo auditing and finding issues + how I built a low-code website with @gravityforms.com and ACF to manage our issues library and ensure consistency across testers. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi... #WordPress #accessibility #a11y
Fun fact: if you're using Brave browser and have shields up for Playground, it doesn't apply patches. This makes it very difficult to test @wordpress.org core PRs. Don't ask how long it took me to realize that was why I couldn't see any of the changes people said were in the PR...
Want a preview of UI changes coming very soon in Accessibility Checker? Steve and William are live on YouTube showing it now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDyb...

You know what is really cool? When you send #accessibility feedback to a plugin dev, later that day, they send you a beta to test, and then a few days later, release an update. Shoutout to @gravitywiz.bsky.social for fast customer support and being willing to improve accessibility! 🙌
We're 5% of the way to our goal and need your support to get all the way there.

It's not surprising a cookie banner co. like this is considering adding an a11y overlay. They already have a JS snippet on the site; it totally makes sense from a business perspective: they know how many page views their customers get and can see 💰 in the multiplier. Who cares about the actual UX.
I watched Train Dreams today. One of the best movies I have seen. Beautiful cinematography, excellent pacing, impactful characters and acting in a story that really sits with you. It's almost poetic; a meditation on the meaning of life.
Usercentrics (the cookie banner solution) is considering building an accessibility overlay. They're asking for feedback and opinions, for which they will give a €30 gift card as a thank you. Opinions about #accessibility overlays? Take this survey...

@gursuj.bsky.social can you try it again? Our dev William made some changes to the code, and he thinks it should work with UBlock Origin enabled now.
Thanks for this info @gursuj.bsky.social, I'll pass this on to our dev team.
I'm live with Beaver Builder right now to discuss accessibility. Tune in! www.youtube.com/live/H6ACpH5...

I just spotted one of our accessibility testers, Devin Gutierrez, in this cool music video highlighting Apple's accessibility features. 🤩
