Key takeaways from tonight's #FrontEndSheff: ✅ use semantic html (no more divs all the way down!) 👀 get your eyes tested Thanks for another great talk @andycarter.dev!

It's important to be aware that accessibility is so much more than just screen readers. Surveys have shown that screen magnifiers are the most used assistive technologies. @andycarter.dev uses browser zoom, screen magnification and browser reader mode to help him use the web.

This evening we're joined at #FrontEndSheff by @andycarter.dev telling us about his personal experiences navigating the web using assistive technologies.

#FrontEndSheff organiser @katiefenn.bsky.social is heading over to Leeds next week to speak at @heypresents.com. It's a great conference and there are still some tickets available, check it out at heypresents.com/conferences/...

Thanks to Matt for a great intro to building Shopify themes! I'm feeling drenched in Liquid now ☔ We'll be back next month, keep your eyes peeled for details 👀

After years in the testing 'trenches', @glenjamin.co.uk makes the case for #Playwright #QA testing. Now for a demo…

Our 1st speaker Charles Boisvert has a real 'glass half full' attitude towards learning to programme - as evidenced by his X-axis reading "ease of use", rather than "difficulty"! #FrontEndSheff
