Web developers, you'd probably lose your payments for this, but any time a marketing person wants something on the website, tell them no.

I just visited a client’s website I couldn't access because there were 6 dialogs that begged me to join their fucking mailing list, a site I will never visit again.

I thought marketing wasn't supposed to be about this stupid web ruining garbage. Whatever happened to them getting reviews and hosting events instead of sticking their nose in web development.

Ugh. Maybe we should make tech more difficult so these goblins can't fuck up a perfectly good Ecommerce website.

I explained why those modals were a barrier and the marketing dude argued with me that it generates leads and subscribers. Bullshit. You can't tell me anybody willingly registered to your list after being digitally assaulted like that.

I know #WebDev love their share buttons at the top of the post, but you know the one thing I consistently use 99.9% more than all of those, the copied to clipboard button. It honestly would be really nice if I could see a single button that says copy URL to clipboard at the top of posts rather than 999 share buttons I never ever use

Lichess has always been the most #accessible #chess website for #blind #screenreader users. You can play games there, analyze them, even do puzzles. What you can't do, though, is learn the absolute basics there.
The tutorials are not accessible, and this has been a problem for years from what I know.
I'm fixing that. I have the platform running locally, and already fixed the " collect the stars"-style tutorials so they work with screen readers. Once i'm happy with these changes I will submit a pull request upstream... let's hope they feel up to merging it once I'm done here. #lichess #accessibility #blindChess #webdev #openSource #tech

Indie developer friends, how important is having guides, FAQs or tutorials for your apps? #indieDev #iOSDev #macOSDev #webDev

There's a good reason why I rarely visit websites I follow via RSS, and, instead, choose to read in my RSS reader. While the rest of the #IndieWeb are today saying RSS readers are flawed because they strip out the amazing web design by default, I am here to protest and say, actually, every RSS app that does this is doing you and I a massive favor.

Your web design is certainly not worth putting up with if I dislike it the first time.

If I wanted to appreciate your web design, I wouldn't use an RSS reader.

My before morning tea snark.

Given this recent discourse, before long, the IndieWeb will turn around and say 'actually, ads are part of the human web!'

I need tea before I snark myself into an IRC chat room. :)

🆕 blog! “Esoteric HTML - ismap vs CSS”

The HTML specification is old and, while there is beauty in longevity, there's an inevitable build-up of boondoggles and baggage. Some elements like <marquee> have sadly been consigned to the dustbin of history - but there are still vestigial attributes just waiting to trip up the unwary.

If you're young, you may never have heard of Image Maps.…

Bloggers and newsletter peeps, I beg you, make your RSS feeds *easier* to find by having them be links on your website, especially on mobile. I am a lazy person, so having to hit share, and then my RSS reader app is sometimes a lot of work VS just double tapping on an RSS link. Also, sometimes, my RSS reader can't find your RSS feed. I *want* to follow you, but not by email. I use email for communication. #RSS #WebDev #Newsletter

One link below but I just now realized why there are table of contents at the beginning of some blog posts. Sighted folk don’t have a way to jump to the first heading level 2 or 3 on the page, nor do they have the capability of bringing up a list of headings on the page and then jumping to a chosen heading the way we do. Gods, how do you all use such a limited form of navigation? I would think scrolling would get tiresome after a while.

If I sit here and think of all the ways that screen reader users can navigate easier around a web page than a sighted person, because the screen reader user can access more symantic things, it makes me actually want browsers that borrow how screen readers are able to extract and use symantic information. Like I think it would be cool to give you all the capability of jumping to a particular heading on the page, table heads, or the capability of extracting a list of links in the browser, things we have. The mouse just clicks and scrolls. How do you all handle such limited forms of navigation?

I found this for Firefox I’m sure others exist https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/headingsmap/

#WebDev

Something I don't understand about modern web design is how I can have a screen that's 13 inches tall and 23 inches wide, and yet when I go to almost any website that sells things, I can see anywhere from 3-6 things at a time. At most.

It's nearly impossible to compare items. On the Osprey site, where this screenshot is from, I can't even compare two rows of backpacks because of all the white space. At the size of those little photos, I should be able to see twenty packs on a single page. At least.

(FYI I'm looking at Osprey for fun, I don't need backpack recommendations - although I'd be having a lot more fun if the site design wasn't so bad)

Working on this was a lot of fun. Surprisingly few web platforms offer webmention endpoints. I think if you create content (be it for fun, self-promo or education) you should absolutely consider it. #IndieWeb #WebDev #IndieDev

I’m not sure if anybody orders from Jimmy John’s, but there website was a breeze to order from, screen reader wise. I’m the kind of person that places a delivery order for almost a week in advance or days in advance and I would say that is an exemplary website on how to make it successfully accessible with the screen reader. Even on mobile devices, it was not painful. #WebDev #Accessibility #A11y

Thinking about launching an accessibility overlay with the most honest feature set of any on the market.

When the widget comes into focus, it just turns into the baby emoji and makes a soft whimpering noise while sobbing “Please don’t sue me.”

TIL there's the WICG Web Haptics API proposal https://github.com/WICG/web-haptics

And seems like only MS Edge (156.0.4284.0, released Sept 24) implemented it experimentally https://github.com/WICG/web-haptics/blob/main/HOWTO.md

It's almost comical how clients pay me hundreds of dollars an hour to repeatedly say, “pick a more accessible theme. Hire a web developer focused on accessibility.” Then give about 30 recommendations in a follow up email. Speaking of, if anybody wants to work out a referral system, inbox me. I get thousands of these kinds of clients a year. You'd be dealing with, frankly, incredibly stupid small business types that use CMSs and where the annoying marketing manager can't stay out of web development, but you'd be getting paid a lot between all the clients! https://sightlessscribbles.com/contact/ #Accessibility #WebDev #GetFediHired
