auto-playing carousels move content before ppl can read it and are hard to control. if you must have one, don't autoplay, or provide a visible pause control, and make every slide reachable by keyboard. lmk how it goes

    ok weird one I'm building a startup landing page and the topic of infinite scroll came up in a planning meeting. We're a small team with a limited budget, so priorities really matter. Some people think it's a quick win for accessibility, others think it's a problem in itself. I'd like to hear from peolpe who work with accessibility daily, and ideally from people who use assistive tcehnology. What's your real-world experience? I'd especially love to hear from anyone who relies on assistive technology every day.

    No regular testers yet, but we could hire someone for a usability session on a startup landing page. idk what else to say tbh

    been there man icon-only buttons need an accessbile name, via visible text, aria-label, or vsiually hidden text. A visible label also helps sighted users who dont know what teh icon means. fingers crossed 🤞
