i was told that my blog post on making an accessible toast notification had a typo.

so of course when i fixed that, i also ended up adjusting some of the content and adding a whole new section about popovers at the end.

scottohara.me/blog/2019/07/08/…

i'm sure there are probably new typos in there now. whatever.

@aardrian Thanks for the article. BTW, Scott, would you mind linking to the correct article on the material.io website? When I clicked on the link, it took me to some parked domain.
Otherwise, many good thoughts and points.
Unfortunately, interactive toasts / snackbars aren't going away, no matter how hard we try. It has become a defacto pattern.

Until Scott is around, this will get you to an archive page:

No idea why the hell Google would make a documentation site and then abandon the domain instead of just setting up a permanent redirect, but it certainly feels on brand.

@aardrian Thanks Scott. I was totally unaware that this domain ever existed and I have been engaged with the team for over 5 years! :)
Here is the latest guidance, in case you are curious: m3.material.io/components/snac…

Snackbar - Material Design 3

Snackbars show short updates about app processes at the bottom of the screen. They can disappear or remain on screen until the user takes action.

We didn't avoid falling into the same trap as America, we took a step towards it.
Next election you'll also "have" to vote liberal to keep out the conservatives.
They'll be told they "have" to vote conservative to end 15 years of liberal rule.
This is how FPTP destabilizes democracy, it's now coming straight for #Canada
We have to stop treating #ProportionalRepresentation like some back burner issue or we will lose our country.

PAIGE! 🍁

@hub Maxine Bernier sat in parliament for 13 years and got 49% in the conservative leadership race. Yes. That close.
If that conservative leadership race used our federal voting system he would have become the leader with just 28% of the vote.
Several years later PP got in anyway.
I’d love to see more greens, more libertarians, an indigenous party, people representing what Canadians want coming into a room and figuring out what at least half of them can agree on.

When you’re scripting for a screen reader, then you’re scripting for the browser, with exactly the same level of JavaScript support.

However complications can arise with event handling, because screen readers intercept events and don't always pass them on to the browser, and even then, keyboard actions might fire mouse events.

Digitalisierung in der Medizin: Hacker hebeln erweiterten Schutz der elektronischen Patientenakte aus

»Die ePA bringen wir erst dann, wenn alle Hackerangriffe technisch unmöglich gemacht worden sind«, hat Karl Lauterbach im Januar verkündet. CCC-Experten haben nun bewiesen: Er hat zu viel versprochen.
