New blog post! A close look at Tahoe menu icons https://tonsky.me/blog/tahoe-icons/
With all the yearly statistics being released, such as Spotify and LinkedIn Wrapped, my favourite so far was Lidl Wrapped. Apparently I bought 112 blocks of tofu this year, followed by 38 baguettes and 32 broccoli π
One of my highlights of the year is always the #HTMHell Advent Calendar curated by @matuzo.at, containing an article daily on security, a11y, UX or performance, written by authors from around the world.
Go check it out and catch up on previous days' articles: www.htmhell.dev/adventcalend...
Cloudflare is down again? I guess some can start into an early weekend then π¬
I got a new phone and am not yet used to this always on display. I have the constant feeling that I have a new message, which catches my attention, distracts me and is really stressing me out. Unsure if I'll get used to it at some point or if I should just turn this feature off π

In line with International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the UX Salon Barcelona focused on #accessibility. Agnese DβAlfonso shared practical ways & examples from her work, to embed #a11y into everyday decision-making and collaboration with stakeholders to create products that work for everyone.
I was part of the peer review selection process for this year's #ZeroProject shortlisted nominees, and there are some amazing projects out there π±β¨ Today, on International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the full list of all 75 awardees was published: zerocon26.zeroproject.org/components/5...

Thanks for sharing! π€
Daniela Kubesch wrote her Master's Thesis on "The Impact of Web Accessibility Overlays on the Usability and User Experience for People with Permanent Visual Impairments".
Now we can say "Scientific research has shown that accessibility overlays are ineffective."

Daniela Kubesch says that even though the web now has more AI-written articles than human ones, they often don't perform as well.
Will AI content always come second place? π€

A living room with a green couch, plants and pillows spread across the floor. Daniela is taking a sip from her Stanley Cup while standing in front of her Laptop, which is positioned on a suitcase that is on a table.
To record this episode, I transformed my living room into a video podcast studio. I spread all the cushions I could find on the floor, arranged various lights that I had collected from different rooms in my flat and used my suitcase as a laptop stand.
I definitely felt like a pro with this set-up π

In der ARIA-GlΓΌcksrad-Folge sprechen wir ΓΌber aria-brailleroledescription (WAI-ARIA 1.3): warum der Braille-Fokus sinnvoll ist, weshalb korrekte BefΓΌllung ohne DomΓ€nenwissen schwer ist β und warum es selten βin freier Wildbahnβ auftaucht.

Daniela holding a Polaroid picture of herself together with a birthday note in front of a Wienfluss company roll-up.
A room with comfy chairs, candles and fairy lights.
A table presenting different things to try out such as Braille Scrabble, vision impairment glassed and 3D printed interfaces and tactile tools.
WIENFLUSS celebrated 20-years with a lovely party & #accessibility in mind ππ₯
You could try Braille Scrabble, learn about assistive devices, or relax in a room that had been decorated with candles and fairy lights to create a cosy atmosphere, offering some relief from #sensory #overload
What is a #browser #bookmarklet?
A bookmarklet is a tiny app that you save in your browser's bookmarks bar, without the need to install anything. When you click on the bookmark, it adds functionality on the current page. Yes, it's that simple!
Simplified Accessibility Testing, right from your browser?! π‘π
I created this little landing page to showcase all the #a11y browser #bookmarklets powered by #CAAT and coded by my team here at mindscreen: tools.caat.report
Perhaps one of these could be integrated into your #testing process? π
No sign-up. No registration. All sessions are streamed live and publicly, and include automated live closed captions. After the event, these are replaced by manually edited closed captions.
In less than 30 minutes itβs time for #id24, a free online 24-hour conference on inclusive design topics! β¨
Check out the schedule here: inclusivedesign24.org/2025/schedule/
If you're interested in learning more about #testing software products for #accessibility, come and find me at the conference. I'd be happy to share some insights and tips, and chat about CAAT β our software to test digital products for accessibility in a structured and efficient way π±
Only 1 month to go until #TestConEurope! π»π
