I’ve wanted to implement dark mode for quite a while now. But, I just didn’t want to ship a part of it. I had to include a perfect dark theme, together with the perfect accessible toggle. However, two things have happened last month that changed my perspective on this approach.| iO tech_hub

We shouldn’t rely on colour alone to indicate that something is interactive. Take links, for example. Sure, you can give them a different colour to the surrounding text, but you shouldn’t stop there. Make sure there’s something else that distinguishes them. You could make them bold. Or you could stick with the well-understood convention of underlying links. This is where some designers bristle. If there are a lot of links on a page, it could look awfully cluttered with underlines. That...| Adactio: Journal

Imagine being in a department store that sells clothes from multiple brands and having a personal shopping assistant to help you select the clothes you want to buy. As a blind person, that's about the only way it's possible to go clothes shopping, independently at least, but few stores offer such a service, so you resort to shopping online.| TetraLogical
The older I get, the more comfortable I become with complaining. Not merely moaning on social media, but writing a direct email to the perpetrator of some annoyance. I'd purchased an eBook and was appalled by how crappy the accessibility was. If you don't know, modern ePub books are just HTML wrapped in a zip file. They have all of the accessibility advantages of the web and should be easy to…| Terence Eden’s Blog

The seventh episode of The Accessibility Show is now out! This one was an interesting change of pace. I was asked to take a look at the site for another of Nathan’s podcasts: The No Script Show, the brain child of David Waumsley. The premise for the No Script Show is fundamentally interesting to me. The show is about stripping away the baggage of page and site builders and working on the fundamentals of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS […]| Joe Dolson Web Accessibility
There is no calendaring app that I love more than GNOME Calendar. The design is slick, it works extremely well, it is touchpad friendly, and best of all, the community around it is just full of wonderful developers, designers, and contributors worth collaborating with, especially with the recent community growth and engagement over the past few years. Georges Stavracas and Jeff Fortin Tam are some of the best maintainers I have ever worked with. I cannot express how thankful I am of Jeff’s ...| TheEvilSkeleton

If you work in web accessibility, you’ve probably spent a lot of time explaining and implementing the ARIA roles and attributes that have been around for years—things like aria-label, aria-labelledby, and role="dialog". But the ARIA landscape isn’t static. In fact, recent ARIA specifications (especially ARIA 1.3) include a number of emerging and lesser-known features that are quietly laying the groundwork for the next phase of inclusive web design. | webaim.org

At the beginning of 2025, the new European Accessibility Act (EAA) 2025 for web accessibility will come into force, requiring many industries and all public bodies to ensure their websites are accessible to all users.
