A very well written article detailing how you can't rely on AI to provide alt-text for logos, and what to do about it. #a11y

1/2 A few years too late, but ARIA Authoring Practices Guide finally has (only) four support tables: w3.org/blog/2023/04/a… Mind, a year ago it re-branded as a copy-ready pattern library without any data on support. #a11y #accessibility

TIL about the CSS property "text-decoration-skip-ink", which tells the browser if the text underline should skip the underhanging bits of text. I did not know about this, but now I know I need this for my funky blog redesign 😍 developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…

#a11y twitter question: is using the "direction" property in CSS equivalent to adding the "dir" attribute in HTML when it comes to assistive technologies honoring the reading direction of the text? developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web…
