roboreader is back! I love this extension

Alt-text still better from humans, for now. Interesting comparison of good prompts vs good paragraphs

Actual practical accessibility solutions to people’s actual issues.

Have seen this a bit lately in logs. A lot of 3 or 4 year-old versions of Chrome out there

On the many issues with burger, kebab, meatball and bento buttons

A counter to the “but I always use cmd R” argument. Stripping away useful UI so things look clean is not a good design approach.

This is why so many form fields yell at me while I am typing in them!

This is cooool. I’ve been into eye-tracking since seeing a talk on it a couple of years ago. Had figured any kind of accuracy needed more than just visual pupil tracking so this being even remotely accurate is neat.

Need more content like this. “How to do sensible things with HTML” is under-explored compared to how to do stupid things with JS

I was hoping for a way to minimize margin left/right overrides, but sadly not. Bunch of other issues that come up with Arabic text - underlines, letter-spacing, opacity, font-weight, and others

Accessibility won’t work as an afterthought, it needs to be part of the process.
Making sites accessible makes them better for all users. Real-life example of this is curb-ramps.

Possible counterpoint: if the text doesn’t render due to slow perf then readability is also affected.
