Join me today at 12:30 (CEST), when I'm a guest at the #WeAreDevelopers LIVE, moderated by @danielcranney.bsky.social and @codepo8.bsky.social 🎙️

We'll have discussions and tech deep dives, all with a special focus on #accessibility, #automation and #inclusion!

To record this episode, I transformed my living room into a video podcast studio. I spread all the cushions I could find on the floor, arranged various lights that I had collected from different rooms in my flat and used my suitcase as a laptop stand.

I definitely felt like a pro with this set-up 😎

I am part of the latest @workingdraft.de episode (#683), where @schepp.dev, Marco Bretschneider and I are spinning the “Wheel of Fortune” 🎙️

We discuss use cases, possible stumbling blocks and useful alternatives of selected #ARIA attributes.

WIENFLUSS celebrated 20-years with a lovely party & #accessibility in mind 🎉🥂

You could try Braille Scrabble, learn about assistive devices, or relax in a room that had been decorated with candles and fairy lights to create a cosy atmosphere, offering some relief from #sensory #overload

I don't know why, but I always seem to end up at restaurant whose menus have #color and #contrast problems 😅

So, this time for Ed. #3 of what seems to be a mini-series now that I'll call #ContrastAndKetchup, I present this menu.

Let's have a closer look at the issue here ⬇️🚫

Come along to #TestConEurope this October, where I'll be giving this talk for the very last time!🎙️✨

I'll demonstrate how #accessibility #overlays interfere with website code, impacting #usability and #UserExperience.

Tickets: testcon.lt (Discounted until August 28 👀)

See you in Vilnius or Online👋

Look what arrived today, just in time for Pride Barcelona this weekend! 🏳️‍🌈

Thank you Nina Gerling for sending a #DisabilityInclusiveProgressPrideFlag to your community for free (and including cute stickers) 😍

This flag represents #LGBTQIA+ individuals with disabilities.

I love that #accessibility is now a topic at meetups, since the EAA came into effect 😍

Today, I'm at the ReactJS Meetup in Barcelona, listening to a talk about quick accessibility wins.

There is a lot of interest, and people are taking lots of photos of the slides. This gives me hope 😁

This elevator technically works, but it’s labelling does not match a user’s mental model, forcing them to think harder than necessary.

To get to Level 2, you have to press 3. For level 1, you press 2.

Great #UX design isn’t just functional. It’s #intuitive, #clear and #HumanCentred.

Thank you for having me, #DWX!

Last week was filled with great conversations, knowledge gained through various talks, not to mention new connections, and exploring Mannheim.

I'm glad I could raise awareness by bringing #web #accessibility to the stage.

Hope to see you all around!

They're rarely found out in the wild, but today is our (un)lucky day! Hold your pearls as I present a rare but very real occurrence: a #color #contrast ratio of 1.1 to 1 👀

Don't make our eyes work harder than necessary. Reading a privacy policy statement is hard enough already.

On July 2, I will be at the #DWX in Mannheim! 🎙️

I'm glad to see so many women in my track, even though the total share of women among the speakers is only 16%.

Once again, I will be on stage talking about the impact of #accessibility overlays on the #usability and #UserExperience.

See you there!

Staying at my parents' place for a week, and I can't get any work done without this "Do Not Disturb!!!" sign on my door. Yes, the triple exclamation is a must.

My parents also mostly work from home, but their idea of it is very different from mine. Yet, my generation is called lazy 🤷‍♀️

Oliver Schöndorfer closing the A-Tag with his humorous talk about #accessible #typography. A must watch for everyone!

Here‘s the recording of his performance from last year‘s beyond Tellerrand conference: youtu.be/XQkCBdEEWCE?...

Christina Uhl is sharing accessibility improvements for very important infographics about someone who was dear to the hearts of all Austrian residents 👀

Denis Paris displayed the current state of AI image descriptions. Very interesting to see how different the tools interpret the same image!

He concludes that AI can be used as a tool to create image descriptions but only when using it responsibly.

#ATag

@matuzo.at showing us new HTML attributes to create dialog modals without JavaScript: ‘command’ and ‘commandfor’.

Not yet supported by all major browsers but soon-ish.

The #ATag is celebrating its 20th anniversary in Vienna today, with a lot of talks from amazing people. Let‘s go! ✨

It's almost time for Global Accessibility Awareness Day and I can finally share my thesis 🎉

It took a year but I managed to create a website with an #accessible #version of the 160-pages thesis on #AccessibilityOverlays, and some additional content!

You can find it here: overlays.dnikub.dev ✨
