“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. #a11y

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 www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTCI...

This Thursday, May 15th, is Global Accessibility Awareness Day. As the website states, the "purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital access and inclusion," specifically for people with disabilities. #GAAD #GAAD2025

Get a good rest tonight everyone. Tomorrow, we fill our brains with #a11y knowledge until it hurts. #axecon

Second talk at #FFConf was @tink.uk, an insightful look at AI and accessibility (you owe it to yourself to watch this): youtu.be/Ij-GLix2QUQ More talks coming out next Monday.

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?

Interactive dyscalculia persona 👩🏻‍💼 Follow Helena as they try to pay for car mileage using an inaccessible service. Thanks to Faye Gardner and the HMRC accessibility team. So happy to be involved in this.

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:

“…it means you have the skills to think of them, design them, and implement them.”

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.

I just started my xmas leave, and... I really need to build a life outside of work in 2025. Being "busy and stressed" has become weirdly addictive and necessary. I’m trying to relax...but I’m already bored. This is pretty tragic 😂

Updated my @astro.build site to 5.0! The update was very smooth: changed to ClientRouter, added a new Zod schema for articles, tweaked frontmatter for the slug handling, and adjusted how the static paths function handles these 🚀

I rambled about about some of the things I’m excited to learn in 2025 - from more accessibility and css, to yo-yo tricks!

Universality and accessibility are the core of the World Wide Web, have always been. We should embrace those and build websites that are available to, and accessible by, everyone. Or, you know, you can choose to build inaccessible websites that exist *on the web,* but inherently are *not of the web*
