A small but beautiful project by rauno: uiplaybook.dev

Pattern library of common UI components. With a detailed breakdown of expected functionality, best practices, accessibility concerns, and implementation tips for each.

Great example of 💯 design docs

A quick reminder as folks are glorifying absurd hours again:

1. Sustained crunch mode leads to net negative productivity vs. 40 hr/wk

2. Working sleep deprived leaves you as mentally impaired as being drunk

Working longer *feels* productive but it makes you worse at your job.

This weekend Kirin leads a tour of Hayley Tompkins exhibition with artist Louise Fraser, designed for people who are blind or visually impaired. With detailed visual descriptions & an opportunity to experiment with materials used by the artist. fruitmarket.co.uk/event/see-with…

I want the web as a platform to make accessibility easier. There’s a time and a place to consider how HTML and CSS can do more for us. However:

We should accept our responsibility to create an accessible web, instead of hoping the platform will save us from it. That’s ableism.

To keep the hype train going for Inclusive Design Communities, @[email protected]'s excellent new book, I'm offering to buy five copies for folks who are interested! DMs are open, first come first serve. I'll need your mailing address, as well. abookapart.com/products/inclu…

Since it’s Hacktoberfest tomorrow, I thought I’d drop this great convo I had with bdougie on the internet about contributing to open source. Also, OpenSauced is a great place for all things open source. Check it out! 🍕

Hard to know what to say to the suggestion I should mirror policies (tax cuts for richest) that have sunk the £, crashed the mortgage market, pushed pensions to the brink, imperilled public services & forced a Bank of England bailout. What planet is the PM living on?

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. The real way to help him is to give a banker another £10,000.

Went on my first international trip since the pandemic... So far

✅ Multiple delayed flights
✅ Checked baggage lost for a week
✅ Got COVID for the first time and isolating in hotel room

Isn't travelling great! 😅🌴

Flew on Sunday and Air France still hasn't reunited me with my checked bag and won't pick up the phone to me 🤔 Definitely not recommended 😂

Hey Delta your FlyReady portal is broken - hitting submit shows a spinner for a while but then nothing happens 🤷‍♀️ Been trying since yesterday. Now I'm flying in less than 24h and can't check in online 😔

TIL when the queen dies, all UK radio stations only play depressing sad songs. Even the commercial stations. Where are all the Friday night bangers 😭

May fond memories of the lavish royal funeral warm the kingdom’s hearts this winter as they struggle to warm their houses.

BREAKING: The United Kingdom has a new Worst Prime Minister Ever x

'[Boris] you are admired from Kyiv to Carlisle'. I mean she's dead right that it's a hard stop at Carlisle 😂 #LizTruss

I wrote a blog with the easy to follow VoiceOver testing instructions that I wish I'd had! If you're looking to make screenreader testing part of your process, I hope this helps: cloudfour.com/thinks/mac-voi…

Weird how many of these map to WCAG Success Criteria.

It is almost like you can improve usability by following the most baseline of accessibility standards.
