Automated #accessibility test tools find even less than expected (by Robert Dodd via LinkedIn) linkedin.com/pulse/automated-a… #a11y #testing #tools



Another week. Another museum. This week the Swedish History Museum in Stockholm. I came here largely to see this one tool chest.

It's the Mästermyr toolchest. A 1000 year old chest filled with blacksmithing and woodworking tools. It's an incredibly important find. Beautifully preserved in the bog. The tools are wonderful. I'd seen pictures and read about these tools, but to see them up close. That hack saw is exquisite.

I wonder how the chest ended up discarded.

Today I discovered a new PDF reader, that I think folks doing research will like a lot.

It's called Sioyek [^1] and it's something of a software for power users. It minimal, with VIM style key bindings and hidden keyboard shortcuts. The website shows a great deal of the cool features, I will just mention a very nice addition I'm enjoying.

You can right click a reference in the document, and a small rectangle overlay will show you the linked content without moving your current view, so you do not lose track of where you started.

It's very useful to peek at an equation or a citation and keep reading afterwards.

@kensanata & I declared it a task to package mastodon-backup for easier install on Linux. Well, basically that was declared a task for me, and the first packages are ready for testing. Before declaring them "mature" & placing them into a repo for "public use" we'd prefer some testing to be sure they work well (and which distros might have issues with them).

Please help us getting them ready: github.com/kensanata/mastodon-…

Just came across excalidraw.com/ – an open-source, end-to-end encrypted virtual whiteboard for sketching diagrams that look hand-drawn. Love the style and simplicity, definitely one to bookmark! #tools
