James Wilde Singleton Cundiff, born 8:50 AM today, Christmas Day, 7 lbs 8 oz. already in love.

Playing with screen reader friendly data visualizations, starting with a map of the US from Observable D3.js examples. Video shows a color coded map with a related legend, where the colors describe unemployment rate. Screen reader can interact with and read the content!

ah, this is... pretty exciting... I made a Figma plugin that screenshots a live url, and overlays all the accessibility data on top as component instances. so, like, alt text, labels, headings, etc. etc. sort of a visual design accessibility audit mashup! 💁‍♂️

idea: twitter should show alt text instead of image placeholders on low/no bandwidth connections.

new Figma beta feature just dropped: accessible prototyping for screen reader / assistive tech. 🤯 video: navigating a Figma prototype using VoiceOver, showing a visual dropdown that receives cursor focus and clicking.

made myself a software mouse jiggler using voice control 👀 video: enabling voice control on macos and playing an audio track on repeat to drive the cursor.

“The user is not like me”—this mantra from CMU Human-Computer Interaction Institute reminds me to always build from our users’ needs. Here’s a conversation with amazing colleagues Dorothy Chen, Rachel and David about what we’ve learned from the accessibility community and what’s ahead! figma.com/blog/a-convers…

I'm co-founder and one of the organizers at AccessibilityNYC. We object to the addition of an accessibility overlay to the Meetup page, that was done without our input or approval. overlayfactsheet.com

This will change my life: launching screen reader on test execution with Playwright. Never heard of it, and grateful to Cameron for the demo. Accessibility TDD with VoiceOver driver in React 👇 youtu.be/aWqLjzMfQiE?si…
