Have fun at WebExpo. Prague was such a pretty city to hang out in, I met some lovely folks there last year and tagged on a day for some sightseeing.

I implore you to please pronounce "everthing" in my tweet with a West Country accent.

We're hosting a meetup the night before in our office if y'all are around. I can't promise my MC skills are quite to your level however @philhawksworth.dev 🎤

Accessibility is important so no one gets left out.
Being left out sucks.

What a dreadful thing for you all to have to go through ❤️
It sounds like the school handled this very poorly. I hope you receive a formal apology.

Spotty and flouffy - yes! This was one of last year’s babies, they look so different to an adult.

Completely agree - moving from a proprietary app to files I store myself and can access on any software that supports markdown is a winner.

Thank you! Now I’ve learned what you do I have about a thousand more questions for you, so bad luck if you run into me at another event 😁

There used to be a hot tub bar next to the canal in Hackney where they served dinner in a hot tub, taking ick to the next level.

Thanks for sharing Jim. It was nice to meet you, I enjoyed our chat about classifying stars.

Yes! We have a global event today to celebrate GAAD with an inspiring speaker.
I’ve also released some digital training, did a live stream yesterday with Adi Latif testing our app on a screen reader and spoke at some external stuff. You’re on my turf this week, there’s no avoiding me 😜

Glad it's not just my teenage girl mind that immediately goes there Connie!

Happy GAAD Shaun! A gov annotations library sounds useful, I'll keep an eye out for this.

Recently enjoyed this placeholder label form embellishment to obtain wifi at Bangkok airport. I'm disappointed that in my haste I cut off the gold bells hanging from the submit button.

Sorted! The hospital initially labelled their incubators as reid-twin-1 and reid-twin-2 so any semantic abstraction welcome.

I wish this had been around when I was naming my kids.

Seems like such a missed opportunity. If there was space to add things like semantic structure, roles, programmatic labels and focus management it would nudge designers to learn more about accessibility. Accessibility just doesn't sell as well as shiny things.

Yes, I've spoken at Converge twice before and I wouldn't miss it! It's the best conf to meet all the UK design systems folks, plus Bristol is a fab city to hang out.

Enjoyed your talk, it was lovely to meet in person.
Clearly wrote this post after a few post conference pints - the horror of uneditable typos 🙈

Cheers Matt - you always know how to do everything! This looks like the perfect solution but doesn’t work on Mac 🤦🏻♀️
