Who's the monolingual tech bro that decided it's a good idea to auto translate and auto dub YouTube videos by default, while also not providing an option to change the audio track on the mobile web version?

The web platform has been missing an imperative way to let users of assistive technology know that something has changed on the page, when no DOM changes occurred.
The Aria Notify API aims to bridge that gap. Try it out and let us know what you think!

I'm preparing a presentation about the upcoming European Accessibility Act and I'm already 99.9% sure it won't hit unless I provide proof of past fines. Does anyone know of any lawsuits that were filed in Europe after 2020 when Web Accessibility Directive came into effect? 🙏

This is so cool! You can use this directly in VSCode to preview your markdown code and then you can save it as PDF/PPT/HTML. ❤️
I was looking for an easy way to make an accessible presentation with headings and alt text and I didn't wanna use clunky old PowerPoint.

A monthly newsletter I can actually recommend is the one from WebAIM, the folks that gave us WAVE and yearly accessibility reports.

I've been loving this series, "What in the world is WCAG?". It's beginner-friendly and has many practical examples. I always look forward to each episode.
Huge thanks to Jessica Chambers (@badcandy.bsky.social) for putting so much effort into this! 💜
