#A11y folks,
I have 1 query.
On applying text spacing bookmarklet, a dropdown coded with ,
bhupeshksingh.bsky.social
Hi #A11y folks,
I'm reading about A11y support for Figma prototypes. Do anyone of you have experience in testing Figma prototypes. I'm curious to know how's the screen reader & keyboard support. Any issues or limitations you are facing while testing.
Any insights would be really helpful.
Thanks

Working on the Safety & Deception guidelines for WCAG 3 (still not finalized and far from that point) and I'm pondering including for review the og:image for a social media post and deceptive pattern (image isn't relative to article it supposedly belongs to) but have NO examples.

Deceptive pattern. A path intended to take a user along to something they may not want to do WITH intent. Coercion, deception, and manipulation.

Anti-pattern. Bad UX, bad design, or over-engineered solutions that create barriers.

Either way, they both are inaccessible solutions to UX challenges.

I wrote something about toasts (and indeed not-toasts) on the TPGi blog. You may find something here useful. You might also find my sense of humour grating. Well, you pays your money* and you takes your choice.

If you have an undersized lone control with target size less than 24 by 24 CSS pixels & if it doesn't have any adjacent targets nearby but has sufficient spacing around it, then it will pass success criterion (SC) 2.5.8 Target Size. All thanks to the Spacing exception.

This has been a long time coming - but I'm glad to report that the vast majority of WCAG's Reflow Understanding document has been rewritten.

Lots of work and discussions in our attempt to make what Reflow actually requires more... well... understandable.

Back in 2003 when i was an #a11y babe in the woods I co-authored and presented a paper "Acc Testing Software Compared" with my then boss Andrew Arch (now of @intopia.bsky.social). What great strides the #accessibility #industry have made in the last 22 years

Let's chat about Android phones. Not your personal preference for a phone. I don't care (seriously I don't. Please don't tell me) but why it's important to give support to Android apps that's comparable to iOS when it comes to accessibility.

Friendly reminder that I shared *an extensive* guide to ARIA live regions so you can learn more about:
- what they are
- what to use them for
- how to use them
- what *not* to use them for (!important)

Friday bookmarklet drop. This week I bring you SERIAL KILLER!

Enter a valid CSS selector to match elements in a page and watch them all disappear!

Obligatory tagfest: #devtools #bookmarklet #favelet #webdev
Serial killer prompts for a valid CSS selector and then kills, or rather, removes them from the DOM.

It's Friiiiiiiiidaaaaaay! So here's another little bookmarklet for you.

Viewport Details
👉 https://buff.ly/4bbXpME
Panel added to screen reports viewport height and width and also zoom level. If page is zoomed, the panel itself is zoomed back to desired size so that it doesn't take over the screen.

Another 1-trick-pony. I wanted a way to quickly grab colors used on a page without diving into DevTools and CSS. This one finds all background and foreground colors and shows them in swatches in a dialog.

My latest bookmarklet is, I will freely admit, sorely lacking in the witty name category. I just couldn't conjure up anything interesting here, and so with that in mind, here's the 'Navigate like a screen reader user' bookmarklet:
