Every once in a while something reminds me of a fun past time I had online. Yesterday someone reminded me of this so I had to go look it up - It's a funny thing that @rendle.dev did on twitter back in the day - I had a great time reading and even "collaborating" on it

I feel this post deep in my bones, Alice gets right to the heart of why working on a11y in standards can feel like killing your soul by degrees.

And also why it’s hard to stop.

New blog post: Under-investment

A few weeks ago I made a comment on the socials about how surprising it is that there's so much stuff in the web platform that needs more attention than it gets. @davatron5000.bsky.social asked if I could expand on that, here's something

“A threat model for accessibility on the web”

A deep, well-researched & cited piece detailing systemic failures down the web stack (standards bodies, browsers vendors, etc) which marginalize #accessibility and its voices — but with proposed solutions.

I talked to @bkardell.com & @meyerweb.com about the old days, how for half the lifetime of the web there wasn't a comprehensive test suite, why it's so important, as well as how it feeds into projects like Interop; @foolip.org and @atopal.bsky.social about how it feeds into Baseline and dashboards

How a Shared Test Suite Fixed the Web’s Biggest Problems

The story of Web Platform Tests (WPT), the collaborative test suite that transformed the web from an inconsistent platform into a stable one.
