@Sha_shukla04 This is not a real button for everyone. Using role=button does not add the expected keyboard and screen reader behaviour. <button> is a real button, why complicate things?

<div> means nothing to a screen reader. But add this: <div role="button" tabindex="0">Click Me</div> Now it’s a real button - for everyone. Better accessibility Inclusive web Used role before? #HTML #WebDev #a11y #BackToBasics

@jimmiejephson Same! It’s always good to meet people IRL

And I almost forgot; it was really cool to meet @EmmaDawsonDev at the office. Thanks for introducing me, and I think it will be great working together!

@eddiejaoude That’s great news! Congrats!

I got my Portuguese 🇵🇹 residency 🎉 Next year I can spend more time in Portugal without counting my EU days 🔥

Thank you! I will do that. I haven’t been here so much myself lately. I want to apply but then I get imposter syndrome panic and then procrastinate until it’s too late. I need someone to hold me accountable and tell me to snap out of it 😅 I really need to sit down & write some cfps at the weekend

@EmmaDawsonDev @grusp You can count on me 🤓 I haven't been on socials for quite a while, so just saw your post. You can always text me in private (I hope you know that)!

I’d like to start applying to frontend conferences to talk about web accessibility. If you were going to a frontend conference what would you want to hear about?

@YuriDevAT @grusp Thanks! I’ve not seen this site before! I realised I also really need to find someone to keep me accountable as I say I want to apply then procrastinate writing the actual cfp and miss the deadline 🤦🏻‍♀️

@EmmaDawsonDev Look at @grusp website! Applications are open (soon) for their CSS/Accessibility event as well as DX event. Both would suit you well.

I’m also on mastodon if anyone wants to connect there instead @emmaDawsonDev@a11y.info

I have the same username on 🦋 bsky.app/profile/emmada…

@cathy_codes I commend you! If I had to do it on the phone, it wouldn’t get done. The phone phobia would win out every time!

Just went through the process of scheduling the CPACC exam through the phone... but hooray it's done.

@maxcallstack I’m not sure where I’d even start with a talk like that 😅

@jimmiejephson I would love to change people’s minds about that too!

@EmmaDawsonDev I think we need to change people's minds about that accessibility expensive, hard and "only for a few people". That's what I'm trying to change. So that is absolutely something that I would love to hear more about!

@RacheleDiTullio Agreed. I'd almost rather pay the (extortionate) price to just sit the exam again because trying to keep track of the credits is a nightmare. I know I've watched more than enough webinars and conferences that I should have enough credits but sending them in is a big blocker

@eddiejaoude I have had 0 contributions and have made 0 contributions.

We are half-way through Open Source month for Hacktoberfest, how are the maintainers and contributors doing?

@ELeeZimmerman @cljwebdev It was actually on LinkedIn but both have equally rubbish search functionality

@cljwebdev @EmmaDawsonDev It's damn impossible to find previous Tweets on here now. The search function has turned to absolute shit.

When you see a post by someone on social media then two hours later when you want to show it to someone you can’t for the life of you find it ANYWHERE 😬

@OfficialStickPM I was on my phone

@EmmaDawsonDev Try the copilot cache on windows 11 it may have captured the moment as it’s allowed to do a study on what we’re doing last I heard. You on windows 11?

My timeline seems to be full of Wordpress drama. Time to get heavy with the mute button

@eddiejaoude Believe me, there is drama in every industry. It’s not just a tech thing

Why in tech do people seem to create drama?

@YuriDevAT @DevFestVienna How did it go?

Fine tuning for tomorrows talk about Accessibility Features in Chrome DevTools and beyond. Got a new Starbucks cup from Taiwan 😍 See you tomorrow @DevFestVienna #DevFest #GDE

@dunsincodes They’re super annoying and shouldn’t automatically play. Let me choose if I want to play it or not

What are your thoughts on auto-playing pop-up videos when you go to a website?
