“A threat model for accessibility on the web”
alice.boxhall.au/articles/a-t...

A deep, well-researched & cited piece detailing systemic failures down the web stack (standards bodies, browsers vendors, etc) which marginalize #accessibility and its voices — but with proposed solutions.

My #GoogleIO talk "What's new in web UI" is live!

Learn about new native HTML & CSS APIs that make it possible to build 3 common (but complex) UI patterns:

1. Customizable select menus
2. Carousels
3. Hover cards

No JS = less jank, better perf, and much better DX

Saying something is fully accessible as a misnomer! Accessibility isn’t a finish line or guarantee. Yet we often see products labeled as “fully accessible“- why is this a misconception and what can we do to course correct without losing confidence?

Follow up!

Just over a week ago I asked you all what the title #DesignEngineer meant to you, and *a lot* of you responded.

I took some time to collate these thoughts, chew on them and provide some resources y'all kindly shared:
Is 2025 the Year of the ‘Design Engineer’?

Don't compare your work to what Design Systems Teams of 15 built in 5 years and as many iterations.

Don't compare your work to cleaned up "success" stories.

Don't compare your work to stuff from completely different contexts.

Listen to your users and build the right Design System for them.
