Yesterday I organized a workshop with eleven interaction design students to explain how keyboard navigation and voice assistant technology works.
After teaching them how to use voice over / narrator shortcuts, the task was to navigate through SNCF connect website without screen and try to book a Lyon Marseille ticket for next Saturday under 40€, with an assistance dog during the travel.

Only one succeeded after an hour but didn't find where to put the dog🐕‍🦺⁉️. Three students from Singapour didn't find how to put the website in English on the main page after closing three pop-ups in French.

They shared their experience at the end, wrote down how they felt, they were mostly frustrated, exhausted, pissed off at not being able to do a task they usually do under 10min

"In short, curiosity puts the entire brain into a mode of heightened receptivity — not just for the specific thing you want to know, but also for everything around it. Curiosity opens a window, and while the window is open, learning deepens across the board. But the window stays open only as long as the question remains unanswered. When an A.I. answers your search query in three seconds, the window closes before curiosity can deepen.[...] Researchers call this incidental learning, and it’s the mechanism behind many serendipitous discoveries. Scientific breakthroughs, artistic leaps, technological innovation — these rarely emerge from efficient retrieval of known information." We Are Losing the Ability to Discover What We Didn’t Know to Ask https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/opinion/ai-google-gemini-search-questions.html

Some weeks are more fun than others. I am working on a lightweight avatar generator with a simple key combination of .css classes and .svg assets. It will be incorporated into an open-source project, so it will be open-sourced soon as well. Stay tuned! I will explain why it exists the upcoming month.

This period is particulary interesting as phones, cars, cameras are starting to appear in characters series. I don't know if someone has ever wrote something about technology symbols and their inevitable decline but this is a great topic in our interfaces today. Look at the phrygian cap proto emoji, cute. #typography #design #books #signs #symbol

Thanks a lot for sharing and writing cool messages; you don't know how much it warms my heart. I spent a lot of time on this small project, everything crafted by hand, so I am really happy you are enjoying it. I am sharing with you the strangest bug I have ever encountered in Firefox: a glyph modification when changing the viewer size. Egyptian Hieroglyphics have funny bugs only on this web browser; I don't even know if someone in the Firefox team tested their implementation. Tutankhamun would have turn in his grave if he was still inside.

@dreddie@social.vivaldi.net @xfq@w3c.social @stuartyeates@cloudisland.nz braille is supported in Unicode ⠃⠗⠁⠊⠇⠇⠑⠀⠺⠗⠊⠞⠞⠑⠝ However screen reader technologies don't translate the content from braille to whatever is your local language. Blind people can use a refreshable Braille reader to read textual content from the interface to physical braille. They also can use a Perkins keyboard to type in braille. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refreshable_braille_display For sign language, the Sutton SignWriting system is also supported in Unicode. However, as the system is written like pictographics instructions and not like a left to right text, it's hard to display it correctly on the web. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SignWriting Hope it helps!

@ledeuns@bsd.network @12train@mastodon.social même si l'expérience 12 train est minimale et très lisible par rapport à SNCF, la majorité des listes déroulantes ne sont pas accessibles à la navigation au clavier car customisée et utilisant des éléments DIV insélectionnables. J'aurai gardé la même stratégie que pour la liste horaire avec un select natif 100% dans les clous. Le menu déroulant de sélection des gares ne permet pas de lire les propositions, les places à chiens d'assistances ne sont pas proposées dans les résultats (mais ça c'est peut-être l'API qui ne renvoie pas l'option). Il y a une petite liste de points à améliorer mais je sais qu'il n'y a qu'une personne derrière donc je ne vais pas la blâmer non plus !

Charlène Dubès, designer, nous présentera son projet Reburn où elle explore la technique japonaise du Yakisugi à travers une recherche expérimentale où la flamme devient outil de façonnage. En brûlant la surface du bois, le feu révèle textures, reliefs et qualités nouvelles. Entre destruction et transformation, le projet interroge la matière comme processus vivant. #portemine #design #clermontFerrand

@bougiewonderland@freeradical.zone eheh it's the magical thing of Unicode, the interpretation of the left to right and right to left property of a character. This specific parenthesis are from arabic script, there are beautiful but:

there are coded to be aligned like arabic script, right to left.
there are not really well known and supported by typeface designers so the glyph is not interpreted well

I am trying right now to not use those type of character to not confuse people but this one is so cool that I let it in the corpus. I have planned to provide a filter LTR / RTL to include better both worlds.
