Some bad HTML I discovered on Disney Plus' web app is featured here. This is a fun site, too. Lots to learn.

Oh, I like this. WCAG for the non-techs in the audience.

Good read on VentureBeat regarding the benefits of embracing a more inclusive process within your company. Not news to me, but may be for you.

This is an amazing statistic:

When testing a website for WCAG compliance, only 18% of criteria can be tested automatically, 31% auto+manual verification, and 47% manual only. via @KarlGroves #a11y #wcag #testing

“QA testers: you are incredibly important. You are the last stop before a product lands in front of the user. All users are different. As with dev and design, as the web evolves, so must your skills. Learning how to test with keyboards and AT is essential. #a11y”

Nice post here about “sticky” navigations and prefers-reduced-motion, which I have also been using more and more often. In addition to CSS, don’t forget that you can do it in JavaScript, too.

const mediaQuery = window.matchMedia("(prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)");

mediaQuery.addEventListener("change", () => {

  console.log(mediaQuery.media, mediaQuery.matches);

  // Stop JavaScript animation

});
