Just over a week to go until we welcome 9 (yes nine!) speakers to Leeds to wax lyrical about the fundamentals of the web, fun experiments with new technologies, migrating large codebases in big organisations and cultural reflections on the way we work.

The daycare's permission screen has a modal inside of a modal. This could have been a checkbox.

‘Make content you frequently want to link to’ is a valid content strategy.

Quick PSA for everyone excitedly using the popover API now it's in all 3 engines. Add an empty pointerdown event listener to your body element, else popover lightdismiss doesn't work on iOS Safari.

I'm going to talk popovers in a few weeks at All Day Hey in Leeds*. Have been updating my slides and it's so great browser support is once more improving.

(*I think there might still be tickets and look at that lineup! heypresents.com/conferences/20…)

Accessibility in tools like CMSes can have a multiplier effect for removing barriers that individual websites don't.

And they are part of European requirements that are adopted even outside Europe. See my latest post below

✏️ I was locked in a room with accessibility policy people yesterday, so I wrote a post on EN 301 549 and authoring tools.

(How could CMSes and other content tools be part of accessibility reqs in Europe and beyond?)

If you write CSS, you probably have used OddBird contributed CSS features. Good news is, from today you can contribute to their contributions monetarily via Open Collective. Here is the link: opencollective.com/oddbird-open-s…

🔗 Making websites perfectly accessible can be hard, but reducing fruit that is both low-hanging and very common, is not.

I have two posts for you if the WebAIM million inspires you to go and fix issues in your projects hidde.blog/links/webaim-m…

The full schedule for All Day Hey in Leeds is out, it's going to be a good one! heypresents.com/conferences/20…

A very detailed (also containing a lot of links to go deeper) article about accessibility and the new popover attribute ♥️
Thanks Hidde for sharing 🙏

Kept this one to read during Saturday morning coffee. Fantastic info on popovers and accessibility that everyone using popovers should read, there are a few surprises: hidde.blog/popover-access… by Hidde and Scott O'Bother

So much insights about how screen readers interpret semantics 😲

Definitely worth a read for broadening perspectives on web accessibility.

✏️ You may have heard the new `popover` attribute has accessibility “built in”. And you might wonder what that actually means.

Me and Scott O'Bother explain what the browser does and doesn't do in terms of accessibility when you use `popover`

hidde.blog/popover-access…

Design systems commonly feature components that show on top of other content. New features in the web platform are about to make building them a lot easier.

Hidde will discuss dialogs, the new ‘popover’ attribute, “modality” and using the top layer.

Topic: Customizable select menus!

Developers: how would you prefer to opt-in to a select menu that lets you both add arbitrary content (i.e. icons) and fully style it?

1. Add an appearance style to the select in CSS
2. Add an attribute on the select element
3. Use a new element
