Many users prefer to use an RSS feed reader to stay up to date with the content on the websites they visit. But if you've enabled Cloudflare on your website, you're likely blocking these RSS users from accessing your website content without realizing it. openrss.org/blog/using-cloudfl… #RSS #CloudFlare #WebDev
This one is special to me, partly because it took some time to cook 😅 , partly because I talk a bit about #ux (which is not my main field), and partly because it features an experiment: after talking about #webpush and #pwa with #django, I'm asking my dear readers (you 😉) to visit a small demo website and tell me how it went!
You can give feedback here, or on Lemmy, Lobsters, etc. I'll update the post with the links!
Today I want to talk to you about a combination of technologies that I don’t see often implemented, yet I wonder why: Web Push Notifications and Progressive Web Apps.
Web developers don't know HTML; or at least they don't implement proper HTML (which is ridiculous; it's like a lawyer not knowing or applying the law). Just look at 4 of the top 5 web accessibility issues from the WebAIM Million. So frustrating, and for decades now...
I love to see coding tutorials like this make the coder code for accessibility by giving them examples and stating up front they do not treat accessibility as an afterthought write-on.org/html/ #CSS #WebDev #HTML #Accessibility #A11y
The sheer variety of combinations of browsers, operating systems, screen sizes, devices, ATs, etc. that make the notion of a "normal" user absurd. This talk ...
Have you been shuffling accessibility compliance all around your roadmap this year? Here are 5 ways to integrate it as a practice to supercharge your product strategy instead.
Most JavaScript libraries offer a library of client-side widgets that mimic the behavior of familiar desktop interfaces. Sliders, menu bars, file list views, and more can be built with a combination of JavaScript, CSS, and HTML.
We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.
Oracle has until January 4th to respond, or the case will go into default, which will result in the trademark being canceled.
There are big tradeoffs, naturally, but vanilla JavaScript is very powerful, usable everywhere, lightweight, and high-performance. Learn it and use it when it's the best choice.
"My anti-overlay client letter" — I'm often asked about accessibility overlays, and this is the email I send to clients when that discussion gets serious.
It may be helpful to others making the case against overlays and laying down the facts.
I really dislike accessibility overlays and am often asked about my thoughts or to implement one. This is my email response when that discussion gets serious.
Who's going to FOSDEM 2025? Thinking about making the trip over, seems like a great option since I can use the Eurostar and be there in 2 hours (plus my journey to London time). fosdem.org/2025/ #FOSDEM #WebDev #OpenSource
I've told this story at conferences - but due to the general situation I thought I'd retell it here. A few years ago I was doing policy research in a housing benefits office in London. They are singularly unlovely places.
The annual HTML conformance analysis, validating 200 home pages of the most popular websites. Despite improvements, there is no signal of commitment to valid output as a quality baseline to benefit end users as well as web development as a profession…
Not so short note on aria-label usage – Big Table Edition
“aria-label is one of a number of secondary methods to label native HTML UI elements. It works particularly well on interactive elements, it also works well on most block level elements old skoolterm that have explicitly or implicitly defined structural roles. It works less well or not at all on text level semantics.”
Provides you with dozens of recipes to help you build common components on the web, such as navigation, forms, filters, tables, and dialogs, in an accessible manner.
People on StackOverflow telling people to screw up #accessibility with the HTML dialog element defeats the purpose of using that element in the first place IMO. Please upvote my answer that corrects the numerous wrong answers, including the accepted answer, to this question if you have an SO account.
"Like the rest of the web platform, interoperability is key to accessibility support. It is safe to say at this time (September 2024) that the display of title attribute content on keyboard focus is not implemented interoperably."
