I have been working in accessible web design and software development since 2014 or so. I thought it would be a good idea to maybe share some of what I know here!

This resource introduces how disabled people use the web, including people with age-related impairments. It helps developers, designers, content creators, and others understand the reasons behind creating accessible digital products — including websites, apps, browsers, and other web tools.
I figured this might be worth sharing here. A practical guide from the Web Accessibility Initiative over at the W3C. A bit more friendly than technical standards like WCAG.
This is just a sort of post into the ether here but it really is disheartening how the big assistive technology conference thing (CSUN) just has 0 COVID precautions at this point. So many disabled folks functionally and systematically excluded from a seat at the table for influencing digital accessibility. I just kinda have to grin and bear it at my job as all my coworkers get to enthuse about how much collaboration and connection they got to get up to.
IDK, I guess I shouldn't really expect better from the lanyard set. It sucks regardless, even outside of my own lack of access.
