Husband, dad, music and food lover. dabble just a little in digital accessibility.

[Mark Steadman @Steady5063]

I can't help myself sometimes, and I will turn on VoiceOver in some of the apps I use. I wish I had just not. So many applications have unlabeled buttons, and images. Just something simple, yet its just skipped. Ugh. #A11y #Accessibility

Hey that’s me!

Wanna learn how to build #A11y in the mobile dev lifecycle?? Or how to build automated #Accessibility testing with sustained results in your #Webdev teams?

Come check out both my talks at AccessU 2023!

Good stuff, the article title is not half-bad either!

Quiz show time again! In which I aim for the most ridiculous heading ever for a technical article covering the topic of Non-Text Contrast: https://t.co/frdEcq2Oa2

@jeremycorbyn @stevefaulkner It's nice to know that private firms .. give a shit (or give shit at least), even if it "pisses of" (or on), the public .. the pun possibilities are endless!

Why the https://t.co/BksY8EImXX Design System team changed the input type for numbers

@aardrian How about "Unmentionables?"

[Darren Minifie @minofifa]

The latest release of iOS, macOS and tvOS has a great new #accessibility feature called Dim Flashing Lights. It will help mitigate potentially hazardous strobing light conditions in video. Check out the White Paper, APIs and sample code here: https://t.co/WVuG9Z4vfP

[Birkir Gunnarsson @birkir_gun]

@jensimmons @MozDevNet Support for CSS inputmode.

[Mark Steadman @Steady5063]

If you are a #iOSDev please take the time to do the following 3 things to ensure a more accessible app:

1) Use #a11y inspector and run an “audit”
2) Ensure enlarged text works properly (not cut off text)
3) Use semantic elements, if you can’t ensure proper traits are applied

[Dennis Lembrée @dennisl]

I find that web developers need to implement inputmode more often (to customize virtual keyboard for phone, email, etc). Hey Safari, why don't you support it?! https://t.co/HdaOcXVQe7 #safari #browsers #html #forms #usability

[Birkir Gunnarsson @birkir_gun]

@webaxe The real question is, does it come with unlimited coffee

[Birkir Gunnarsson @birkir_gun]

@scottohara @vavroom My speling is consistntly Excelant

[Birkir Gunnarsson @birkir_gun]

@scottohara @SaraSoueidan Love the Cottoneye Joe reference. ;) Also super informative. ;)

[Scott O'Bother @scottohara]

Today the search element landed in the HTML spec
(and subsequently the ARIA in HTML and HTML AAM specs too)

but hey, maybe reading/keeping track of specs is not how you spend your time.

Good for you, btw.

So here's a quick intro to the search element

[Birkir Gunnarsson @birkir_gun]

@scottohara @SaraSoueidan When I read the spec I noticed that <menu> is still in there, lol. At least we can use <search> with role="search" for now.

[Birkir Gunnarsson @birkir_gun]

@lloydi I considre myself mor of a subwoofer than a speaker, but I'm getting this book anyway! Awesome.
