Next month is Frontend North in Sheffield. I’ll be joining an amazing lineup with my talk “if it’s not user centred, it’s not accessible”. #Accessibility should be positioned as a user need, not a non-functional requirement! Tickets are £75, including the social at the National Videogame Museum!

A few days ago, Deque launched axe Assistant, an AI chatbot trained specifically for accessibility. I spent a few days playing with it and a wild Saturday night writing up my findings for anyone that’s interested. www.craigabbott.co.uk/blog/deque-a... #ai #axeAssistant #accessibility #a11y

I’ve added a couple dozen links (to posts, articles, videos, examples, Figma responses, etc.) since this morning: adrianroselli.com/2025/05/do-n... It’s nice to know that my reaction to #Figma Sites was not an outlier. #HTML #CSS #a11y #accessibility

AI, as we currently know it, is just the illusion of intelligence. Yet, many of us still just outsource all of our thinking. What's more alarming, is now AI is so convincing, many of us have simply stopped questioning it. www.craigabbott.co.uk/blog/ai-does... #AI #LLM

Saw these photos posted by @jhey.dev. A hilarious reminder of why we always start with content! When we start with design and add the content later, we often write content that fits, not content people need! Or, in this case, it gets printed full of “Lorem Ipsum” 😂 #design #contentdesign #fail

🤔 Why is it acceptable to some that #WCAG can be used to test PDF's, but not native iOS or Android apps? #accessibility Note: I think its legit to use WCAG to test native iOS or Android apps tetralogical.com/blog/2024/07...

It’s interesting how many organisations look at #accessibility as a tactical fix rather than a strategic solution. I don’t see very many organisations implementing governance, policy or even roadmaps for accessibility. Just testing and fixes at team level which creates wildly variable outcomes.

ChatGPT lies to me regularly. The advice is to do your own research and not use AI as a search engine. With most content now being AI generated, is there a point where we’ll draw the same conclusions, because the content will always be written by the same entities anyway? www.cjr.org/tow_center/w...
