Come and hang with us on our new Slack group - chat about upcoming or past Web Meetups, other local, international, or online events and conferences, discuss careers and share job opportunities, talk tech, design, and product... or just shoot the breeze! https://t.co/hocvrqtSUE

Can anyone help!? Unfortunately our usual venue for The Web Meetup will be unable to host our event next Tuesday. We're looking for another somewhere in Melbourne city to host us (short notice, I know) - any ideas?

@gfmcclure @acloudguru I like Microsoft's accessibility insights plugin

[The Web @theWebMeetup]

This week we talked about 'Quality': Testing does not equate to quality; NPS is not good science (but might still be useful); and measuring Service Quality

Thanks to our speakers @TheresaNeate , @dktpm and @brown_note

@MichelePlayfair @aneki @LASTconf Yep, been using it on Google slides for about 6 months.

[The Web @theWebMeetup]

We've just announced the first Web Meetup of 2020!

https://t.co/A0w0wAHG1U

We'll be covering 3 aspects of Quality: the 'science' of NPS, Testing != Quality, and measuring Service Quality to achieve customer success - with @brown_note, @dktpm & @TheresaNeate

See you there!

I'll be talking about the What, Why and How of modern accessibility development at F-Enders next week... come down! https://t.co/ECjuSsnUZo

[Rick Giner @RickGiner]

I wrote a thing about de-risking product development by focusing on platform health. Inspired by several great presentations at last year's @yow_conf (particular thanks to @RealGeneKim and @janellekz) https://t.co/ltjrkyKn0f

[@micheleplayfair @MichelePlayfair]

Closing off the blue room on day 1 of #YOW19 with @Mandy_Kerr & @RickGiner 🎉

@HerinHentry @scotthollier @RavenAlly Disabling anything is generally worth trying to avoid. If there's no previous page, you can probably do without the link

Huge thanks to @a11ybytes & the crew at @Intopia for another great #A11yCamp last month. Thanks also to those I quote in my writeup, who were universally inspiring and informative - and to everyone else who presented and attended that I didn't mention. https://t.co/Iq9LCFn4CD

[The Web @theWebMeetup]

One week left until The Web Meetup's Christmas event! https://t.co/LagT9jlQcA We'll be using Design Thinking principles to redesign xmas... and you can feel good about all the celebrations as we're also raising money for the rural fire service https://t.co/4wUnwDhcvY

[The Web @theWebMeetup]

Come join our Web Meetup Christmas charity event where we will be redesigning Christmas using Design Thinking! To add to the occasion we'll put on a festive feast, have top-shelf refreshments, and be giving away prizes! Strictly limited places, so RSVP now https://t.co/LagT9jlQcA

"there's been an interesting shift in recent years... we can no longer assume that if someone knows JavaScript they also know HTML and CSS". This is leading to inaccessible patterns in our components @200okpublic #A11yCamp

[Rick Giner @RickGiner]

Thanks to #A11yCamp for allowing me to present my ideas about accessible development with modern frameworks. My slides are available at https://t.co/ZAfNiKfYzS and if you would like to find out about my workshop on the same topic please let me know at https://t.co/tIap9GxQep

Android Accessibility Scanner highlights issues with your app, ways to fix them, and tips or tools to use in the future to make sure you're not making the same mistakes again @RavenAlly #A11yCamp

[Rick Giner @RickGiner]

"the poor lost platform of Android" @RavenAlly kicking off her talk and reminding us all to tweet prolifically. Somehow I don't think I'll be up to her standards of quality and volume! #A11yCamp

[Allison Ravenhall @RavenAlly]

Accessible development is hard, says @RickGiner, but that doesn’t make it optional. You wouldn’t accept a builder not putting windows on your house because they’re hard to do. Truth. #A11yCamp
