RE: front-end.social/@piccalilli/1…
Hello #WebDev and #frontend folks,
I wrote a couple of words about a certain #html attribute you might not need.

Thank you once again @piccalilli for having me and special thanks to @heydon for your much appreciated feedback! ❤️

You might not need role="presentation"
Steve Frenzel shares some sage advice on correctly using this role and value combination by showing questionable examples, followed by some better approaches. Spoiler: the better ones are the simple ones.Piccalilli

I don't know the concrete names but there's group of screen reader users in ukraine using delta chat as well.
The UI is simple and accessible on all major platforms.
I'm fed up of standard answers such as "received, we'll pass it on" when I report accessibility issues to @Tutanota - I switched to paid subscription after they quickly enough resolved a captcha issue, but now it is at least since summer that I do not even manage to read e-mails from my web browser.
And on TUTA web page they publicly declare they respect anti-discrimination values.
I am blind, I am an accessibility advocate, no one has the right to silence me any how.
I am not saying this is something intentional or malicious, I am looking at the result. The real life result of what maybe is an unwanted effect of even a single component update.
As inaccessibility is fought through money, if within 3 months I'm not getting an effective concrete response, I'd ask for all my 36€ back till the last cent.
No time to do this yet, I want to trust them once more.

I don't even post much on here and doubt this will reach many, but whatever: I lost my job recently and am looking for new work, would appreciate any leads. I'm a certified digital accessibility specialist with lived experience as a disabled trans person, and I also have extensive web developer experience.
Please get in touch if you know of any appropriate openings ❤️
Edit: thanks to replies for pointing out that I should add location details! I'm located in Stockholm, Sweden but will happily work remotely if possible and can travel on occasion if needed - not looking to fully relocate though!
I can also be found on LinkedIn, a site I don't particularly like but accept the necessity of existing on, here: linkedin.com/in/thea-walther

So a little while back, @laura wrote an excellent introductory book on accessibility and inclusive design called Accessibility for Everyone for A Book Apart.
Then, A Book Apart folded and the authors managed to get their rights back.
And yesterday, after Laura put a huge amount of work adapting the book into a beautiful website she built using Kitten*, we republished the book under Small Technology Foundation Press.

This is frustrating because the unnamed people advising that were wrong. It confuses trapping page focus in a modal to blocking users from using the rest of their browser. Also, ugh APG.

If you find someone advising it, be wary of their UI / accessibility chops.

Accessibility advice around modals have commonly taught us to trap focus within the modal. Upon further research, it seems like we no longer need to trap focus within the (even in modal mode).Zell Liew (CSS-Tricks)
