Daniela Kubesch wrote her Master's Thesis on "The Impact of Web Accessibility Overlays on the Usability and User Experience for People with Permanent Visual Impairments".

Now we can say "Scientific research has shown that accessibility overlays are ineffective."

Had a great conversation with @sjoy.lol today. We both toyed around with the web as a hobby starting in the late 90s, before eventually turning it into a career much later on.

We talked a lot about that, but then got into accessibility and I just loved how she referred to it as "a heart thing" 😊

✨ I just published a brand-new post! It’s about the notorious SVG <path> element.

With its compact Regex-style syntax, <path> can be super intimidating. But they’re also *incredibly* powerful, letting us draw (and animate!) curved lines.

You can read it here, and I’ll share more info in thread. 🧵

SVG gives us many different primitives to work with, but by far the most powerful is the <path> element. Unfortunately, it’s also the most inscrutable, with its compact Regex-style syntax. In this tut...

Two of my favorite and most frequently used #SVG tools:

SVG/URL encoder yoksel.github.io/url-encoder/

SVG crop svgcrop.com


I have certainly shared these tools before throughout the years, especially during the period I focused a lot on SVG. I love them and use them so much I wanted to reshare.

We used to build websites.

Now we build pipelines, frameworks, and hydration strategies - just to publish text.

This isn’t progress.
It’s complexity, by design.

We need to escape the JavaScript framework trap.

JavaScript broke the web (and called it progress)
We replaced simple websites with complex apps nobody asked for. Now it takes a complex build pipeline just to change a headline.
