Is there an open-source #accessibility tool that can verify WAI-ARIA guidelines for a certain DOM element? E.g., "verify that the element .accordion fulfils the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices for the 'Accordion' pattern" (see https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/accordion/)? So an open-source alternative to the Evinced Unit Tester https://developer.evinced.com/sdks-for-web-apps/unit-tester . Axe etc. can't achieve this, as it's not aware of the pattern being used.

If you're on Bluesky, add the following to your uBlock Origin rules:

bsky.app##[data-testid="contentHider-post"] img[alt=""]:style(filter: grayscale(1) contrast(0.5) blur(10px))

bsky.app##[data-testid="contentHider-post"] img[alt=""]:hover:style(filter: none)

This will de-emphasize user-posted images with no alt descriptions. Adapted from a post by @Meyerweb

🌈 Open Graph (OG) images, like the one you probably see under this very post, are useful when sharing links on social media or messaging apps. With AVIF and WebP formats having "baseline" browser support, I was curious if major platforms support them as OG images. Here are my results:

I've accumulated 87 blog post drafts and additional 61 ideas. Maybe this #NaBloPoMo (National #Blog Posting Month) can do something about it ✍️

🌈 It can be frustrating to fill out a web form, only to accidentally refresh the page and lose all the hard work. In my latest blog post, I present a method to retain form data when the page is reloaded.

Some devs are telling "Safari/iOS is the new Internet Explorer", and some others are trying to defend it. Sure, there are differences, but I remember keeping a list of "IE behaviors" back in the day, and my "Safari/iOS behaviors" list is now growing and growing. I've added three new items this week alone.

Example: Apple just refuses to add the Fullscreen API on iPhones. You want to view this 360° component in fullscreen? Buy an Android device. https://caniuse.com/fullscreen

You know you're part of a project that cares about #accessibility when your business analyst writes "If accessibility is not given for [...] then the requirement must be withdrawn, bc. WCAG rules". That's why it is important to include accessibility in the entire software development cycle: identify and solve potential issues before the actual implementation.
