Web developer from Norway.

Interested in everything that runs in the browser and how to make it accessible.

In my spare time I ride mountain bikes and snowboards.
I was wondering why Ctrl clicking a link at the #Jazazone website didn't work...

The site is riddled with accessibility issues. Why are we building sites like this in 2025? And for a tech conference of all things.

Please do also note that Lighthouse gives this a perfect 100 on accessibility.

Ok hear me out. A hotel room but when you turn the shower on the bathroom floor stays dry.

The fucking moron keeps acting like other countries will pay his tariffs and not his own population.

Guess it’s time to wait for the market dip and buy again. It’ll come back up when he backs out.

I obviously can’t be sure but I have a strong feeling that DHL has the shittiest website, or collection of websites, you can find.

Apparently I have a package ready for pick-up but finding out where the service point is using the tracking number? Fuck no. Find anyone to contact? Fuck no.

Today's comic is about the web and fonts. Can you find all the differences?

Stop randomly throwing aria-attributes at DOM nodes without actually testing with a screenreader.

And no, your axe-plugin won't save you. Also, ignore whatever AI you're trying to use tells you.

Test. It.

Just visited the newly opened indoor pool Tøyenbadet in Oslo and I thought this was funny. They're actually using displays for water depth and it seems they're even measuring it in real time. Not likely to change much my guys.

In dev I'd call this wasteful future-proofing. You ain't gonna need it.

Is there a bot or something similar that just automatically blocks people following more than N accounts when they follow you?

That particular form of obnoxious spam is annoying. I dislike getting worthless notifications.

Ok I know nobody cares about this but me, but GOD I care:

1. I have just downloaded your app.
2. You want me to make an account. I don’t want to make an account!
3. When I enter my email, you inform me that I already have an account! This seems like a good thing, but I know it means only pain. 1/2

I hate finding a really tiny spider in my apartment so much more than finding a big one.

Where were you born buddy? Where!?

Went for a little mountain bike ride today. Really should be snowboarding this time of year but I’ll take it…

I need everyone to stop what they’re doing and look at the new board. It’s gold. Gold!

I just want to watch people talk about stuff that interests me. HTML, snowboards, CSS, bikes, accessibility. If that's an echo chamber then sign me up.

Twitter kind of worked for that untill the incident. So far this place seems like it can finally replace it. It's been a long couple of years.

Also, if you're looking for accessibility folks on BlueSky, I created a starter pack with many people you'll recognise from other platforms. go.bsky.app/A16NMka
