I did it! I managed to convince Steve and Chris that we should have a plugin with a brand color palette that includes pink and purple! 🩷💜 My girly self is not-so-secretly excited about this... Here's a sneak peek of a new software product coming soon...

This #WPA11yDay session has an #Auslan speaker who is being interpreted into spoken English and then interpreted into American Sign Language. Very cool to watch. #ASL #Deaf

Writing documentation is legitimately one of the most tedious parts of being a plugin creator. Currently writing docs and sales pages for our multisite add-on. Since it's a Saturday night, there's wine, chocolate, and a funny #WordPress plugin assisting with ambiance.

We did it! @chrishinds.bsky.social and I finished our first 5k. I almost managed to jog the whole time with only a couple of 30 second walking breaks. Finished in the middle of the pack for women my age at 34:51. They gave out participation medals which I gladly accepted. 🏃‍♀️🏅

Last week's livestream was the perfect example of why icon-only buttons suck. For 5 minutes, I struggled to figure out how to copy/paste styles in the #WordPress block editor. The button is an icon that I didn't think to click until an audience member pointed it out. #UI #a11y

Tell me your opinion on option groups. A WCAG techniques doc shows how to use them, suggesting they're ok. But, the browser and OS color mode control the color of the option group labels, and in Chrome on a Mac, they fail contrast. Passes in Firefox. Would you use these? #a11y #accessibility

I'm filling out IRS Form 1023 so @wpa11yday@wptoots.social can get its own 501(c)(3) nonprofit status instead of being fiscally sponsored. It's super lazy coding to ask a question about percentages but not allow the % symbol to be entered in the input. 🙄 #annoyingUI #webdev #usability

Tonight, I'm writing a blog post, "I tried the #WordPress mobile app, so you don't have to." But first, I have to get a support rep at my host to unblock my IP in their CloudFlare rules after uploading images in the app threw a security flag and got me blocked from my own website. 🤦‍♀️
