@SaraSoueidan Your talk was fantastic, as always, Sara. Thank you!

Thank you for having me #axecon 🤗 I know my speaking speed isn't for everyone, and there was a lot to cover in 45 mnts, but the session is recorded and available to re-watch for anyone who wants to ✨

Dear @Apple, I love you! The Increase contrast option in the Accessibility settings is such a wonderful feature. Thank you for all you do to make digital experiences better for all ❤️ #a11y

Having no focus ring is like having no mouse cursor.

I love An Event Apart, still processing speakers' messages from yesterday. My heart feels both like it's cracking and leaping, 20 years into this industry. @zeldman #AEAFEF

“Internet access is unevenly distributed. With COVID, as children are being asked to learn remotely from home, low-income kids with limited computer access and bandwidth, are even more likely to fall behind their more affluent peers.”

@HenriHelvetica Thank you, Henri! Loved your talk. So much rich content today. It will take a while to go back and assimilate... but so worth it.

WebP image file format could become most widely used. Challenge is editing, must convert first. @HenriHelvetica

AEA—Quotes by @AaronGustafson —We must choose the right tools for the job. It’s easy to get caught up in hotness. Our industry has grown, with a poor job of implementing. We are often selfish with how we build & need conscientious decision making #AEAOT #AEAFEF #inclusivedesign

✩ “Disabilities are designed. If we fail to center the lived experiences of people who are different from us, then we are actively excluding them from being able to use our products and services, and we undermine the very promise of the internet.”

“When you replace the browser’s built-in UI with custom bespoke code, you increase the fragility of your site, make it less accessible and performant, and increase your code maintenance costs.”

Accessibility audits—"How do you eat an elephant? Find the most delicious and easiest to eat parts first" (and most critical). "You should not create more tasks than the system can handle." Will have to check out Notion.
