@jannespeters @spotifypodcasts Lemme guess: the shows in your recos are mostly German language? Or you’re seeing untranslated copy around the recommendations?

@madebymarian Hi Marian! Congrats on taking the jump. At @ZalandoDesign we’re always looking for folks with your set of experience and actively working on a11y and design systems content topics. Give me a shout if you’d be interested, DMs open.

Hi Twitter. I need your help.

A few years ago, I had a freak accident that sent me into catastrophic kidney failure. I've been struggling to find a kidney donor ever since. I'm in dire need of a type O+/- kidney and ask that you please share my story.

@w__h_ @N1ckHum @domrgn coined this “ransom note typography”

Heydon knows his stuff and is fun to work with. Warmly recommended👇

@data_jackalope @RobertJanezic @disco_lu @databiscuits Aware of the imperfect nature of perceptual color contrast measures. But curious: in this case, do y'all feel this effect is down to the color? Or potentially the other typographic changes (less tracking, lowercasing)?

@amythibodeau @spotifydesign 💯

…and we couldn't help ourselves and did end up writing a bit for our design blog as well https://t.co/pU3z5oGSKm

[Gerrit Kaiser @gerrit]

In time for #GAAD, some more technical details behind the changes. Accessibility, Localization, UX Writing, Brand thinking and a breath of fresh air, all in a happy mix.

A11y can be great for aesthetics, and great for business.

[Amy Thibodeau @amythibodeau]

Love to see companies like Spotify invest in more accessible products *AND* talk about doing it, and not just in their design blog. Accessibility improves the experience for everyone, and that is also good for the business. Great job @spotifydesign! https://t.co/3c3tt9OeKa

[Gerrit Kaiser @gerrit]

Proud of the team for the thorough work here. Ensuring 100% compliant color contrast even when brand colors are in the mix isn't always easy. And making sure all UI adapts to huge text is no small matter.

Designing for Android 🤖📱

I've spent too many hours over the years cross-referencing websites, taking screenshots on different devices, looking at internal data, and searching for documentation in order to understand what screens to design for.

Here's what I've learnt [1/12]
