I finally get to announce that I wrote a chapter for the upcoming book titled “Digital Accessibility Ethics: Disability Inclusion in All Things Tech." The book will be published on March 26, 2026, and is available for pre-order #DigitalAccessibilityEthics #Ethics #accessibility #Disabilit

Never did I ever think I would see the northern lights in central Illinois. Unreal

The latest Appt Mobile Accessibility Newsletter is out! This time written by @dadederk.bsky.social appt.news/appt-news-ac... #iOS #Android #Accessibility #A11y

Can people just give a damn about making their content Accessible? Even at a minimum level. It’s 2025. There are tools, guidance, and articles galore. Start giving a damn about making your applications in web and mobile accessible for everyone!!! #Accessibility #Inclusion #A11y

The iOS Automated #Accessibility Example library has been updated! 🎉 🎉 The latest example is a snapshot test example. The AccessibilitySnapshot library allows you to add an #A11y snapshot test. github.com/Steady5063/i....

In Australia, 4.4 million people live with a disability. It is estimated that 80% of these individuals have an invisible disability. Invisible disabilities can include chronic pain, ADHD, mental health, epilepsy, and many others. Resource: intopia.digital/articles/mak...

“A threat model for accessibility on the web” alice.boxhall.au/articles/a-t... 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. #a11y

If you are developing native applications. Please remember that #Accessibility hints are made for extra context. NOT for key information. Believe it or not, plenty of users of Talkback and VoiceOver disabled hints as they have become to cumbersome

It is maddening how many mobile applications currently have so many fundamental issues when being used with assistive technologies Here are trends I am seeing: (a thread)

Looking forward to speaking at #AllThingsOpen with @helen.blog on “Continuous AI for Accessibility: Build Better, Faster, Inclusive Software with GitHub” 🚀 If you’re working on #Accessibility, #OpenSource, or inclusive #AI come say hi after our session 👋 2025.allthingsopen.org/sessions/con...

The iOS Automated #Accessibility Example Lib is FINALLY here! I have been working on this for a bit, and I finally have my first example pushed. This library will house the different types of automation you can use with #iOS native application development. github.com/Steady5063/i...

🎧 Listening (at 1.5x speed … 😅) to a wonderful conversation of two of my favourite people: @kevinpowell.co navigating the world of web #accessibility with @sarasoueidan.com 👏 #webdev #a11y www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndGK...

Been messing with Guidepup this week, it is super cool! It has it's flaws, but it is a really cool concept of trying to do some automated testing for screen reader functionality. Keyword, functionality, doesn't replace actual screen reader testing www.guidepup.dev

There is an old term that comes to mind with AI, and that is "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?", which means "Who watches the watchers". An #Accessibility problem i can already see, are developers taking suggestions of tools and not knowing the impact. So who is watching AI to make sure its right?

Automated #Accessibility library has been updated!! 🎉 Puppeteer example is now out! Puppeteer is still one of the most popular testing frameworks, and luckily adding #A11y tests is easy! Check it out!! github.com/Steady5063/A...

“Eliminating this option through an executive order would not only be unconstitutional, it would add to the barriers many disabled voters already face, from inaccessible polling places to health risks. Elected leaders should be expanding accessible voting options, not dismantling them.”

Dev teams are always looking for something that is fully automated. "Can we fully automate #A11y?" is always asked to me. No, we cannot. However, are there ways to maximize the results to get the most value out of it to enforce good #Accessibility coding practices? You bet! dev.to/steady5063/c...

Pretty neat the layers of automation that Reddit is using for mobile iOS #Accessibility. check it out! www.reddit.com/r/RedditEng/...

On vacation in Northern Wisconsin. Might not come back with these temps!

📣 We’d like to hear from you! Bluesky is rolling out age verification as part of the Online Safety Act, which aims to reduce the risk of children seeing harmful content. We’ve heard that blind and partially sighted folks are unable to verify their age because it’s inaccessible. Have you tried?

Its pretty amazing the trend of testing frameworks for web flipping over the last 5 years. In years past, WDIO, selenium and Puppeteer were tops. Now Cypress, Playwright are far and away the leaders. The dope part is Cypress and Playwright both have #Accessibility testing features :)

For National Disability Awareness month we wanted to share the site caniplaythat.com. This site is dedicated to writing reviews and publishing news for all things related to video game accessibility. Keep up with what the industry is doing to keep their games accessible for the community!

Super pumped to be doing this talk at WebAIM's, 'Web Accessibility in Mind' Conference. It's virtual and free on September 16th and 17th! If you wanna see what happens when you don't care about semantic HTML and just use ARIA, then check this talk out! #Accessibility #A11y

We're happy to finally unveil the full schedule for the upcoming Inclusive Design 24 #id24 24 hour online event on the 25 September 2025 inclusivedesign24.org/2025/schedule/ #a11y #accessibility #inclusiveDesign

You know. I’ve avoid posting on AI and dev and #Accessibility. Just because it’s overload at this rate. But I spent a good amount of time with Claude, and it is pretty dope. But the one thing I noticed. Adovocating for digital #A11y is about to potentially change a lot.

For the longest time, I have been using other sites to write my articles and blogs. No more! I am taking control of my content I create and making my own site!! Mobile, #Accessibility automation, code samples and more! SteadyAccessibility.com is coming soon!

Playgrounds. Pools. Golf courses; persons with disabilities deserve to belong there, taking up space, and being included. On the ADA’s 35th anniversary, explore how a11y standards ensure persons with disabilities can fully participate in public spaces.

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act. I was going to write a post commemorating the day, but reading my post on the 32nd anniversary I don't have much to add. Though the current political landscape is dire. It's not much more than three years ago.

For the love of all that is good. QUIT PUTTING THE WORD “HEADING” in accessibilityLabels and contentDesceiptions in #Android and #iOS! Another perfect example of not understanding #Accessibility in mobile and looking for shortcuts.

Next up on my #Accessibility automation library updates: Regression testing examples Guidepup automated testing library.

High contrast mode in competitive PVP is HUGE, other #gamedev please take note #accessibility

Kinda weird trend on former app knowns as Twitter, of using Alt text for spoilers of #Superman movie? I mean, cool users are FINALLY using the feature, but of course for the wrong reasons. This is what alt text is and is for! accessibility.huit.harvard.edu/describe-conte…#Accessibilityt#A11y1y

If you are looking for a repo that hosts lots of #A11y automation examples then checkout my "Automated Accessibility Example Lib". Over the next few months I will be doing basic updates and creating new examples so stay tuned! github.com/Steady5063/A...

Make sure to take time today to remember that you are making a difference and you are making a change! #Accessibility

For #WebDev teams looking to move beyond automation, start with visual and keyboard checks for #Accessibility issues! Don't overload developers moving from automation into some level of manual testing, start simple, and iterate! #A11y #HTML #JavaScript

#Accessibility is a constant fight that can break you, beat you down and make you burn out faster than anything else I’ve ever been apart of. But damn it, is it rewarding each time you change one singular mind!

"Can I Play That?" is a website focusing on the intersection of web accessibility and video games. The site is a resource of reviews, features, and news coverage of accessibility within video games. The site is aimed at both players and developers. caniplaythat.com

Where do you start for #Accessibility in dev lifecycle? Start very small. 1) Check your current code linter to see if it has #A11y rules and enable them. 2) Enforce those rules through GitHub actions or PR reviews 3) Do simple manual checks (keyboard, iOS inspector) Small steps for big gains!

Steam is adding screen reader support and other accessibility tools
