I highly recommend Laura’s book. I bought it and read it a few years ago and still reread some parts of it from time to time.
My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website.

The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.
Accessibility For Everyone by Laura Kalbag

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛

Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

I left Spotify after 9 years because of the CEO's autonomous weapons investment shit, but it's not really about Spotify individually at all. It's about trying to be better, and intentional, and asking yourself if you're making the world you want

Last night I canceled our Spotify subscription and moved everything to Tidal using Soundiiz. I like the user interface and the sound quality is even better. Thanks a lot to @ahumanfuture.co for the recommendation.

That quiz was fun. My result seems about right. 😄

YOUR SCORE: 20
You're experienced, and likely a passionate defender of the open web and all that makes the web weird. This doesn't come without a cost, and you're probably tired AF.

System of a Down but for web developers:

My code is much bigger than yours
My code makes my website so slow
With a feeling so impure
It’s got you not coming back for more

The #NoMouse Challenge is a global effort to raise awareness about accessible web design. Try using your website without a mouse. Use the keyboard instead. Is it possible to access all features and operate all buttons, sliders, and other controls?
