mastodon 4.7.3As an accessibility engineer, I am passionate about creating #inclusive, human-centred digital experiences. My work combines user research, #UX design, front-of-the-frontend development, #accessibility testing and consultancy. I strongly believe in #equality and #inclusion and am committed to making digital services accessible.
I am also co-creator of the Open Source project https://a11yphant.com, a platform that teaches the basics of web accessibility 🐘
Attended this years #BTConf in Düsseldorf again and was so occupied listening to the talks, catching up with friends while also making new connections, that I forgot to post 😄 best conference and totally recommend it, as always.
See you next year @beyondtellerrand@mastodon.social!
One of my highlights of the year is always the #HTMHell Advent Calendar curated by @matuzo@front-end.social, containing an article daily on security, a11y, UX or performance, written by authors from around the world.
There is still plenty of time to catch up on previous days' articles, so go and check it out to learn something new each day until Christmas!
#ScreenReader question
I found a bug in one component I’m auditing related to #NVDA in Firefox, but turns out the bug appears in version 2020.4 and not anymore in version 2026.1.
So now I was wondering, how quickly people update to new versions and how far back we should support compliance 🤔 Are there statistics on which version of NVDA people are using most?
With all the yearly statistics being released, such as Spotify and LinkedIn Wrapped, my favourite so far was Lidl Wrapped. Apparently I bought 112 blocks of tofu this year, followed by 38 baguettes and 32 broccoli 😄
Cloudflare is down again? I guess some can start into an early weekend then 😬

I got a new phone and am not yet used to this always on display. I have the constant feeling that I have a new message, which catches my attention, distracts me and is really stressing me out. Unsure if I'll get used to it at some point or if I should just turn this feature off 😅
In line with International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the UX Salon Barcelona focused on #accessibility today.
Agnese D’Alfonso shared practical ways and examples from her everyday work as UX accessibility consultant, to embed #a11y into everyday decision-making and collaboration with stakeholders. The goal is to integrate a11y into the product life cycle to create products that work for everyone.
It was a lovely evening with engaging conversations and a lot of interested participants 🤗
@mallonbacka@hachyderm.io haha okay, well then I’m gonna try it out a bit longer and check if anything changes 😄
I took part in the peer review selection process for this year's #ZeroProject shortlisted nominees, which gave me a glimpse of the awards process behind the scenes.
