I have been working on some new bookmarklets that may be useful for some a11y folks (and developers in general). Thread to follow featuring one tool per post.

I literally just joined this butterfly web site and already I am seeing people talk about being "temporarily non-disabled". No you are not. If you care about the experiences of Disabled people, then advocate for them. You don't need to crush disability into a marketable soundbite to do that.

It’s here! 😱The full #axecon agenda has just dropped. For our 5th anniversary, we’re pulling out all the stops to bring 60+ amazing speakers to our virtual stage. Register for free, build your itinerary, and mark your calendar today! 📅 www.deque.com/axe-con/sche...

If you’re building a website or app from scratch, it’s so much cheaper and much less stressful if you add in accessibility from the start. I’m currently trying to retrofit accessibility features and it’s taken a week to do something that could’ve taken less than a day if done at the start

@danabra.mov my company, Assistiv Labs, offers free subscriptions for open-source maintainers to our live testing platform. Would that be helpful for y’all to validate accessibility fixes? assistivlabs.com

Since there's a bunch of new followers over the past week, just going to drop this again. A friendly reminder that I have a newsletter launching in 2025, onetipaweek.com. One developer tip a week. Short & valuable. That's it!
