Testing your product for #accessibility yourself will *never* compare with testing with real users. This week we conducted 5 usability interviews with frequent screen reader users. Here are some things I observed: (a thread) 🧵👇

I wrote a blog post about it in case someone else is ever searching the web for answers https://t.co/siFeISGUPg

Get ready for click-bait in your AI responses!

if your data is stored in a database that a company can freely read and access (i.e. not end-to-end encrypted), the company will eventually update their ToS so they can use your data for AI training — the incentives are too strong to resist

I got to use the new `text-wrap: pretty` CSS today. Where have you been all my life 😍😍😍

This new experimental html feature to invoke other elements would be really handy! I love javascript, but I also retiring it for use cases that HTML and CSS can now handle 😍 https://t.co/gkkQEd1yWe

✨🆕 New project! ✨ For educational purposes only… I HACKED A CAR IN JAVASCRIPT!!! 📡🛻 I built a web tool to hack wireless devices right from the browser and I used it to run a rolljam/replay attack against my friend's car (with consent of course) and IT WORKED!!! 😃🎉

Center all the things! CSS align-content property can now be used outside of flex and grid. Huzzah! https://t.co/yD0VGSlZGf

Good news! Determined the issue was caused by bolding of the text. This created a <strong> tag node where typeform is expecting a string.

#a11y friends! Anyone know a work around for a bug with @typeform where radio button labels in a radio group are announced as "Object Object" in screen readers? Implementation is an embedded iframe.

Excited to share I'll be speaking at @webdirections Code on making single page applications accessible - and good news, it's easier than you think! Hope to see you there! https://t.co/nIbhCpQkCV

I wrote this Format dialog back on a rainy Thursday morning at Microsoft in late 1994, I think it was. We were porting the bajillion lines of code from the Windows95 user interface over to NT, and Format was just one of those areas where WindowsNT was different enough from

I appreciate the level of detail given to ensure I provide a valid email address. Good work!

A little post about using data-attributes and the CSS Content property for things like Text Effects and why it's problematic for accessibility. Plus, what you can do to make it accessible. https://t.co/MvAycZ7zoQ

Love that the city of Kyoto has live streams of tourist hotspots to gauge the crowd intensity before you visit. Whipped up a site to view them all together on one page for easy checking back at different times of day 😀 https://t.co/JUYAtBxEhA

Today I learned: Most browsers ignore autoplay being turned on for a video embed if the sound is not muted. Nice!

New post on Text Lab about font variant ligatures! Making use of the font-variant-ligatures CSS property gives access to alternate glyphs within fonts that combine one or more glyphs to improve readability. https://t.co/y2QMpkvTbG

Great overview of A11y in SPA’s by @jessbudd4 at #NDCSydney

“Developers are quite reasonable go and talk to them“ promoting collaboration on digital projects is such a good way to get #a11y support from @jessbudd4 presenting on “Making Single Page Apps Accessible: It's easier than you think” @NDC_Conferences

A brilliant and innovative use of AI from @jessbudd4 with #a11y testing using GitHub copilot and an impressive prompt! to cite examples where necessary! @NDC_Conferences
