While this news from @bkardell is indeed good news:

Please do not use it for accNames unless you are prepared to test the accName calculation and voice control:

I do not want to be debugging basic WCAG failures because folks can’t be arsed to test the new shiny.

I outline my approach to crafting image alternative text:

This does not mean it is correct. Or ideal. Or even good. It’s just how I do it.

What are people using to test their website's accessibility (a11y)?

Since I use Hugo to generate the pages, my source is all Markdown, so I was hoping to find something I can just point at my website, like a linter. Unless there's a Markdown a11y linter I don't know about…

@Taffer Firefox developer tools accessibility tab is a start, but the output is a bit opaque.

https://qualweb.di.fc.ul.pt/evaluator/ is easy to use and gives decent info

Hello community, I have a question regarding user interfaces. I may have gotten the gig to implement a website with strong focus, tech stack of my choice.

I'm gonna go with @astro and want to implement a CMS that is as accessible as possible. Do you have any experience with the following platforms?

I will do my own testing, but still curious. 🤗

@astro I was able to implement #StoryBlok in the past and found the UI relativley intuitive, but haven't tested it with keyboard and #ScreenReader.

#DatoCMS has a very nice UI, but again: Havent't tested it yet.

I want to do a proof of concept and might turn my findings into a blog post. 🤗

Oh GitHub.

@sclower filed a discussion item (with @jscholes confirming) and since I was bumping into it during a call today I also made a video:
https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/127592

A lot going on here:
• Verbose.
• The instructions sometimes lie.
• Some triggers are a problem.
• Fake-dialog has issues.
• Those are links, not disclosure triggers.
• Verbose.
• Also, verbose.

#a11y #accessibility

NVDA navigating this “hover card” pattern, first via link shortcut keys (through 0:22), then tabbing at 0:25, then virtual cursor at 0:38. I try to trigger it at 0:08 and 0:10 to no avail.

It has been rolled back:

Pleased to see acknowledgment that getting user feedback prior to release is A Good Idea.

Thank you people of GitHub!

“Maybe Don’t Name That Landmark”
https://adrianroselli.com/2024/06/maybe-dont-name-that-landmark.html

TL;DR: You probably don’t need to name that landmark. Even if you have two of the same landmark.

The post was inspired by this what-not-to-do real life example from Vercel.

The Captain Picard facepalm is because the logo is a link with aria-expanded.

The rest of the video demonstrates how (the now changed) aria-label is verbose, wrong, and unnecessary.

Open captions because Masto does not support CC.

Tabbing to the Vercel logo (with a Captain Picard facepalm because the logo is a link with aria-expanded) and then tabbing into the first navigation item, which announces the landmark name and then a count of links.

I'm an objector of some kind to generative AI creating alt text in the browser. Not because it's not useful, but because it's done on the client-side.

I'd rather have a genAI propose an alternative once during the contribution (accepted or not if the image is decorative), than multiple energy-consuming different genAI executing on every client computer to create different alternatives based on what they perceive in the context and what they "know" of the current user interests.
