Episode Synopsis


Gather ’round the accessibility tree, dear listeners, and hear a grand tale about roles and attributes, screen readers and DOM inspectors, and how to be a good A11Y. We also touch on why accessibility isn’t something you bolt on after you design a website but is part of the process from the very beginning.Hosted by Jared White & AyushLinks:Want to keep the discussion going?Join the The Spicy Web Discord ServerFollow @[email protected] on MastodonHTML Design Principles: Priority of ConstituenciesWAI (Web Accessibility Initiative)The Accessibility TreeARIA Resources for DevelopersARIA Attributes (MDN Docs)ARIA Roles (MDN Docs)Additional resources:Adrian RoselliCommon ARIA mistakes and how to avoid them(No ARIA is better than bad ARIA!)WebAIM - web accessibility in mindBasecamp Accessibility GuidelinesThe Patchability of the Open Web(aka the “Right to Inspect”)
