@cassiecodes.bsky.social's taking GSAP for a spin in a live-coded game at All Day Hey! 2026, and the direction it takes is up to you. With input from the audience, the game will take shape in real time. Characters? Enemies? Explosions? Syntax errors that break the whole thing (hopefully not).

Hey! All Day. Alistair Shepherd, Lightning Talk Bill and Ted's accessibility adventure: Accessibility testing for developers Thursday 7th May 2026, 09:00–17:00 BST, Everyman Cinema, Leeds UK

As Bill and Ted discovered in their excellent adventure, it can be easier to learn through hijinks, trials and practice than through reading. How can we learn from their experience to get better at web accessibility? With the guidance of Bill and Ted we'll explore the ups and downs I went through teaching accessibility, and why focusing on testing works so well.

heypresents.com/ten. Join us for the final time. In the background is a photo of me in my natural state — standing in a moor, in outdoor kit and a tech t-shirt, grinning like a loon

6 weeks today I'll be speaking at the wonderful All Day Hey by @heypresents.com in Leeds, with my talk "Bill and Ted's accessibility adventure"! 🎸🤘

Come join us for a *most excellent* day, with some great talks and great people!

“Curiosity breeds Discovery”

I spend a fair bit of time playing with View Transitions, and bending it in all sorts of ways.

This talk compiles my insights from building some of the more wild things with VTs.

See you at All Day Hey!?

(Expect a lot of code getting thrown your way!)

Ever wondered what happens when you push the View Transition API beyond its documented limits? The wonderful @bram.us joins us in May with his talk "Beyond the Spec: Cranking View Transitions up to 11 (Safely, Maybe)".
