What's the best use of AI for accessibility you've tried in real projects beyond "fix this" working on production projects? I've only done `a11y-review` skill, generating some tests for CI, document accessibility issues at Linear when found, and that's pretty much it. Looking for creative ideas.

My baby is almost 1.5 and she is passionate about her piano, pushing buttons, dancing, drawing on the walls, picking leaves from the floor and Peppa Pig. By now she's the most interesting person I know 😆

It's been YEARS (more than a decade) for me not working with Russian speaking folks and my new PM speaks Russian. Fun fact, my brain is wired up differently for Spanish, English and Russian and wow speaking automations and agents in Russian is really hard 🫠

I've been a little quiet online but active offline. I'd be travelling with my baby to Barcelona (her for the first time) and will be teaching accessibility at LCI (Visual Arts and Design School) in English and Spanish 🚀

I got married last Saturday and was completely disconnected from the world. I still have a week of marriage leave left, and I'll spend it preparing material for an a11y workshop for a design school in BCN. I love teaching young designers: forms, labels, color contrast, and all of the fun things ❤️

“In the practical, this means designers will have more LLM-based features integrated into their tooling. These tools will promise to do their job for them […]. This will further widen the divide between the work and its human-facing impact.” mantisandco.com/resources/gu...

One of my goals for bsky has been to rebuild Design Twitter. But what we got instead was something better: Design Bsky.

We are getting to the season of end-of-year reflections, so it’s time to post my annual reminder. If you helped someone this year or let someone else help you, then you’ve had a good year. That’s enough.

“Automated tools can quickly flag non-descriptive link text such as “click here” or “read more” […] But automation alone can’t determine whether context makes a vague link meaningful or if a link’s purpose is truly clear to users.” www.dennisdeacon.com/web/accessib...

Ramp table UI is honestly so good. Fully functional with the keyboard (not fully accessible as there are a few color contrast failures, but it’s functional), and the focus ring is styled. ✨

Requests table in Ramp website. 4 tabs: all, needs action, pending, drafts. Table lists Requests. Other columns: Frequncy, Payment methods, Start date, Auto-lock date. Main CTA Request in yellow-green color is in the right top corner. A button “Cuatomize columns” is focused with the focus ring shown in black.

“we hear often we must make special solutions for people with disabilities, that accessibility is expensive and that it hampers innovation… that's all wrong: we can do inclusive design, it can be cost effective and lead to lots of innovation”—Alejandro Moledo del Rio of the European Disability Forum
