With all the yearly statistics being released, such as Spotify and LinkedIn Wrapped, my favourite so far was Lidl Wrapped. Apparently I bought 112 blocks of tofu this year, followed by 38 baguettes and 32 broccoli 😄

One of my highlights of the year is always the #HTMHell Advent Calendar curated by @matuzo.at, containing an article daily on security, a11y, UX or performance, written by authors from around the world. Go check it out and catch up on previous days' articles: www.htmhell.dev/adventcalend...

Cloudflare is down again? I guess some can start into an early weekend then 😬

I got a new phone and am not yet used to this always on display. I have the constant feeling that I have a new message, which catches my attention, distracts me and is really stressing me out. Unsure if I'll get used to it at some point or if I should just turn this feature off 😅

In line with International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the UX Salon Barcelona focused on #accessibility. Agnese D’Alfonso shared practical ways & examples from her work, to embed #a11y into everyday decision-making and collaboration with stakeholders to create products that work for everyone.

I was part of the peer review selection process for this year's #ZeroProject shortlisted nominees, and there are some amazing projects out there 🌱✨ Today, on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the full list of all 75 awardees was published: zerocon26.zeroproject.org/components/5...

Daniela Kubesch wrote her Master's Thesis on "The Impact of Web Accessibility Overlays on the Usability and User Experience for People with Permanent Visual Impairments". Now we can say "Scientific research has shown that accessibility overlays are ineffective." overlays.dnikub.dev

Daniela Kubesch says that even though the web now has more AI-written articles than human ones, they often don't perform as well. Will AI content always come second place? 🤔

In case you missed it, here's the recording of the @wearedevelopers.bsky.social LIVE I was part of this week ⬇️🎙️ 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLHf... We chatted about #AI, #accessibility, and #inclusion news in the dev world. Thanks for having me, @codepo8.bsky.social and @danielcranney.bsky.social 🤗

I am part of the latest @workingdraft.de episode (#683), where @schepp.dev, Marco Bretschneider and I are spinning the “Wheel of Fortune” 🎙️ We discuss use cases, possible stumbling blocks and useful alternatives of selected #ARIA attributes. 🔗 The full episode: workingdraft.de/683/

In der ARIA-Glücksrad-Folge sprechen wir über aria-brailleroledescription (WAI-ARIA 1.3): warum der Braille-Fokus sinnvoll ist, weshalb korrekte Befüllung ohne Domänenwissen schwer ist – und warum es selten „in freier Wildbahn“ auftaucht. 🎧 👉 workingdraft.de/683/

Revision 683: ARIA-Glücksrad workingdraft.de/683/ mit @dnikub.dev und Marco Bretschneider

WIENFLUSS celebrated 20-years with a lovely party & #accessibility in mind 🎉🥂 You could try Braille Scrabble, learn about assistive devices, or relax in a room that had been decorated with candles and fairy lights to create a cosy atmosphere, offering some relief from #sensory #overload

Simplified Accessibility Testing, right from your browser?! 💡🔍 I created this little landing page to showcase all the #a11y browser #bookmarklets powered by #CAAT and coded by my team here at mindscreen: tools.caat.report Perhaps one of these could be integrated into your #testing process? 👀

In less than 30 minutes it’s time for #id24, a free online 24-hour conference on inclusive design topics! ✨ Check out the schedule here: inclusivedesign24.org/2025/schedule/

Only 1 month to go until #TestConEurope! 💻😎 Watch the short video introduction of my talk and join me in Vilnius from October 21st to 24th, 2025 🎙️

Ending my workday by watching the #AppleEvent 👀

Vorträge zu #Barrierefreiheit, in österreichischer Gebärdensprache gedolmetscht, gibt es am #ATag diesen September! 🎙️🤟 Sei dabei, am 16. September 2025 in Wien, von 17 bis 19 Uhr! ℹ️ Die Veranstaltung ist komplett kostenlos, erfordert aber eine Anmeldung über die Webseite: atag.accessible-media.at

I don't know why, but I always seem to end up at restaurant whose menus have #color and #contrast problems 😅 So, this time for Ed. #3 of what seems to be a mini-series now that I'll call #ContrastAndKetchup, I present this menu. Let's have a closer look at the issue here ⬇️🚫 🧵 1/7

Just bought my ticket for #BTConf in Düsseldorf next year! Definitely not gonna miss the 15-year jubilee 🎉 There are still some Blind Bird tickets left at a reduced rate: btco.nf/dus26bb (until Friday or sold out)

Come along to #TestConEurope this October, where I'll be giving this talk for the very last time!🎙️✨ I'll demonstrate how #accessibility #overlays interfere with website code, impacting #usability and #UserExperience. Tickets: testcon.lt (Discounted until August 28 👀) See you in Vilnius or Online👋

Because I just heard it in a conf talk (again): 🚨No, the #EAA is not just WCAG 2.2! 🚨 The European Accessibility Act (EAA) covers #digital and #physical products and services, such as websites, ATMs, and more, and aligns with the European standard #EN301549.

I just stumbled across this list and immediately clicked the 'Follow' button several times. I recommend checking it out!

Look what arrived today, just in time for Pride Barcelona this weekend! 🏳️‍🌈 Thank you Nina Gerling for sending a #DisabilityInclusiveProgressPrideFlag to your community for free (and including cute stickers) 😍 This flag represents #LGBTQIA+ individuals with disabilities. 🧵 1/3

On Tuesday, during the elevator ride up to the meet-up, I met a guy called Daniel and we had a lovely chat, instantly bonding over our shared name. Then, on Thursday, I attended another meetup and met a guy in the elevator. Guess what his name was 😅 What are the chances?! haha

It only took one LinkedIn post that received far more exposure than usual for men with extremely big egos to appear on my page and post aggressive and arrogant comments berating my title and competence while calling me a maniac b*tch. This is not what I expected. But we'll, here we are 🥴

In today’s #a11y talk is by Oriol Gómez at the UX Salon Barcelona meetup, he explained what accessibility is, what it means for users and designers, and also shared practical insights and this openly available accessibility-first checklist created in Figma: www.figma.com/community/fi... 📝

I love that #accessibility is now a topic at meetups, since the EAA came into effect 😍 Today, I'm at the ReactJS Meetup in Barcelona, listening to a talk about quick accessibility wins. There is a lot of interest, and people are taking lots of photos of the slides. This gives me hope 😁

This elevator technically works, but it’s labelling does not match a user’s mental model, forcing them to think harder than necessary. To get to Level 2, you have to press 3. For level 1, you press 2. Great #UX design isn’t just functional. It’s #intuitive, #clear and #HumanCentred.

Thank you for having me, #DWX! Last week was filled with great conversations, knowledge gained through various talks, not to mention new connections, and exploring Mannheim. I'm glad I could raise awareness by bringing #web #accessibility to the stage. Hope to see you all around!

You may know that a new popover type recently landed. But what is it exactly? And why did we need it? I wrote a post all about it! Learn about popover=hint, how to use it today, and how it'll be even more handy with interest invokers in the future! una.im/popover-hint/

Some really clever and impressive techniques deployed here, along with some useful knowledge about ADHD.

Being at a regular dev conf (meaning no focus on #a11y ) I hear so much misinformation regarding the #EAA 😬 Are there blog posts from within my community regarding the EAA? 📋 I‘d love to share a collection of resources from people I know when someone is approaching me regarding that topic.

Alfonso Graziano talking about the #HeroTrap when becoming a tech lead and being responsible for a team. “Your first instinct might be to solve every problem yourself. Don't. Your job is to help others grow. Listen – Empathize – Lead – Resolve” #DWX #DWX2025

"All software is created to satisfy a human need or desire. Know who they are and seek to understand the need form their perspective. It will help immensely.“ #KnowTheProblemYouAreSolving – @pbousan.rocks quoting Doc Norton at #DWX2025

I'm on my way to #DWX2025, swapping the heat of Barcelona for what appears to be the heat of Mannheim 😄 I'm looking forward to the speaker dinner tonight, and to taking to the stage at 16:00 on 2 July! 🎙️ If you see me, please come and say hello and grab your CAAT button! 🐱

They're rarely found out in the wild, but today is our (un)lucky day! Hold your pearls as I present a rare but very real occurrence: a #color #contrast ratio of 1.1 to 1 👀 Don't make our eyes work harder than necessary. Reading a privacy policy statement is hard enough already.

I don't know why I thought it was a great idea to go on a weekend trip to Madrid in mid-June to explore the city, where temperatures are currently at 36 degrees during the day and 27 degrees at midnight 🥴 The coming days will be more about survival than exploration I guess.

I love clients who ensure that their disabled buttons have sufficient colour contrast, while also working to remove the anti-pattern of disabled buttons from their websites altogether ❤️‍🔥

If you're invited to speak at a for-profit conference, only agree if you and all other speakers get paid. You're putting in a lot of work and you must be compensated. Exposure is not enough, even if you're a beginner. Don't sell yourself under your value.

On July 2, I will be at the #DWX in Mannheim! 🎙️ I'm glad to see so many women in my track, even though the total share of women among the speakers is only 16%. Once again, I will be on stage talking about the impact of #accessibility overlays on the #usability and #UserExperience. See you there!

In case you were wondering, the chances of my cousin and brother-in-law getting married to their significant others on the same day in late 2026 (!) are 100% 🥴 Any advice or ideas on how to attend both festivities? At least they are in the same country 🤡

Staying at my parents' place for a week, and I can't get any work done without this "Do Not Disturb!!!" sign on my door. Yes, the triple exclamation is a must. My parents also mostly work from home, but their idea of it is very different from mine. Yet, my generation is called lazy 🤷‍♀️

Die Slides von meinem Vortrag "Im Rampenlicht: Accessibility Overlays wissenschaftlich beleuchtet" vom diesjährigen #ATag sind jetzt online: noti.st/dnikub/109qT...

Happy Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) Day. Accessibility is a right. Not a privilege. #GAAD #GAAD2025 #Accessibility #AccessibilityAwareness Every day should be an accessibility awareness day. Not just one.
