@dalias@hachyderm.io @annaecook@mastodon.social Yes, semantic HTML is semantic. React (JSX) is neither semantic nor unsemantic — it just renders HTML. The point I'm making is that React isn't the cause of inaccessible experiences or the need for ARIA. The cause of inaccessible websites is ignorant developers or lack of corporate investment. The need for ARIA is caused by Single Page Applications.

@jasonsantamaria This is the Walkman I had until someone stole it.. I’ve never owned a better looking product than that. Sony Sports should make a comeback. https://walkman.land/sony/wm-b52

@dalias@hachyderm.io @annaecook@mastodon.social Oh, that I agree with, I just don't think it's the fault of React, that Single Page Applications have become a thing. React — like all of the other mentioned — can be used to generate great, accessible web sites that require no ARIA at all. It's just a (very popular) framework. .. my take is that clickable divs were a problem a long time before React ever existed.

@annaecook@mastodon.social What makes you single out React? There have been plenty of other frameworks for building web applications (SPAs) which made ARIA an requirement. I get that it’s fun to hate on React, but before React, the same engineers were building inaccessible experiences using plain HTML.

@gruber@mastodon.social I'm very, very curious to know (after reading the post on Cook's answers about retirement) whether you see a obvious successor to Cook inside or outside of Apple, and what *your* wishes to an Apple CEO are. That could be an interesting post on DF.

@db@social.lol Good read — one tiny comment regarding this "enhancement":
`open Menu`

I'm pretty sure that's an accessibility no-no, as the visible label ("open") must match the beginning of the accessible name, for people who use speech to text technology.

But! Boy oh boy, how these new native web functionalities make our lives easier. It's a beautiful thing to see the web platform evolve.

@sundress@eigenmagic.net I read your recent article on the threat model and found myself nodding along, so thanks for writing that :)

In the hope that you'll be writing more great stuff, is there any chance you're thinking of adding an RSS feed to your site?

@adactio We’ve come so fast and take so many things for granted. I remember using sIFR on several projects — what a game changer that was!
