You're a new web hobbyist, wanting to code accessibly. You don't run Windows (for NVDA or trial JAWS), only have access to VoiceOver (different to other screen readers, less used).
You can follow a11y rules that you have read about, you can run lighthouse or open the accessibility tree in devtools.
Would it help to have an online web page checker which outputs in text what would otherwise be spoken by a screen reader in a "read all" mode?
The SRs have a sort of reading and other mode, right?
Huh. I looked out of the window of my train and saw what looked like an African savannah. Then I watched more landscape pass by, and it started to look like a little the sandy pine forests you get near sandy beaches in Scandinavia. I went to Google maps to see if we were by the coast, and nope.
From years of being bored, unsatisfied, or struggling in various jobs and industries, I finally feel like I have come home.
I'm so happy to join an industry with such brilliant, interesting, and gloriously nerdy people - I mean this in the best possible way!
I have attended both Beyond Tellerrand DΓΌsseldorf and CSS Day 2024 and, wow. Huge thank yous to the organisers, speakers, and to the many warm and funny fellow attendees I had the joy to socialise with.
@sarajw I heard something by Conan O'Brien once where he says how important it is to "find your people" in life. Find a community that is excited about the same things you are, and welcomes your participation. I think the web enables us to do that, and the front-end bubble (to me) absolutely feels like "my people". So many friends here that I've never met IRL, but I know we would hit it off instantly.
@rem hahaha! Every time I look carefully at a pepper and consider where I should cut it, I never get a good face. Left up to chance, I get a good one (or sometimes a pair, on both sides), every 2 or 3 months :)
In her closing talk @stubbornella is asking for input of what we want out of our Masonry CSS properties.
I feel like we could forever get input into how it should work, and the CSSWG might be able to put something out that covers 99% of wants...
BUT as soon as it's released with whatever constraints it may have - the people that have ideas and can bend CSS to their will (paging @stephenhay and @kizu!) will start subverting it to do something new and different!
And when someone caught COVID we also started getting π²π». Because we wished them a mild course of COVID - or a 'milder Verlauf'. :flag-mv: Maldives.
@sarajw@jonpearse@mia@hdv I'll be on the CSS Help Desk after the last talk, totally up for a f-e.s group photo, general silliness, or even sensible CSS questions.
