You Can't Opt-Out of Accessibility
You Can't Opt-Out of Accessibility
By @vale@fedi.vale.rocks
After years and years of successive abstractions, we have prioritised the comfort of the person writing the code over the survival and agency of the people using it. Innovation that excludes people isn’t innovation; it’s just shiny exclusion.

Custom Carets and Users: When The Caret Is No Longer a Stick (Yes, That’s a Poor Attempt at a Pun)

@aardrian@toot.cafe shining light on a new CSS property with accessibility implications
I’d feel better if the CSSWG did a better job of outlining risks and best practices, at least beyond stale WCAG links and suggestions that user style sheets are the best approach to get around forcing animations on users. Granted, the CSSWG had shown a certain amount of ignoring the Priority of Constituencies of late, so I’m also not terribly surprised.

Yellow, Purple and the Myth of “Accessibility Limits Color Palettes”
Terrific article by the wonderful @stephaniewalter@front-end.social who shows how accessibility is about how you combine colors rather than just what colors you use.

Can components conform to WCAG?
By @hdv@front-end.social
We can build UI components with accessibility in mind. We can also document accessibility specifics alongside them. Both are helpful and recommended. What about claiming conformance? In this post, I'll talk about how WCAG doesn't allow for that, and why I believe that's a good thing.
