🎆 Happy Hogmanay!
The Christmas tree is down, the baubles packed away, and the strangest of years is drawing to a close. There’s just enough time left to wish you all the very best for 2021 and send you a list of the articles I’ve posted this month:
- Progressively enhanced animated content
- Why I prefer not to use CSS shorthand
- Voice Control for macOS commands cheatsheet
- An unexpected accessibility benefit of video calls
Elsewhere on the web
- I revisited this absolute beauty of a talk by Jared Smith on Rethinking Color and Contrast
- I enjoyed this treasure trove of an article by Jeremy Keith that covers empathy with users of assistive tech, the super-coolness of screen reader users who share their experience, how Apple’s WebKit team made life less noisy for screen reader users, and how that move can influence how we design and build websites
- This BBC feature is a great insight into how technology can enhance people’s lives: How iPhone 12’s Lidar and AI help me navigate the street as a blind person
- Here’s a great summary of how website animation can affect people, and what can be done to help: Your Interactive Makes Me Sick
- And a great post on the 5 most annoying website features a blind person faces every single day
Anyway, have a happy (and safe!) new year! 🥳
