Remember, #accessiBe on its own is a mess for users, but its aCe automated checker is built on the same misunderstandings (and spoofing technology) simply to drive business. And it gives different results on a single page if you wait 5 minutes.

Lighthouse and a manual check revealed problems on the Neil Patel home page.

The #accessiBe aCe checker did not report this problem, but did fix the code and call the page WCAG 2.1 AA compliant.

When I retested Neil Patel in an incognito window I got different results. The site is now deemed non-compliant to WCAG 2.1 per #accessiBe’s aCe checker.

It also did not detect its own overlay, and tried and failed to fix the broken code.

W3C’s web site vendor (Studio24) dropped WordPress from consideration:
w3c.studio24.net/updates/weekno…

WPTavern took issue with it:
wptavern.com/w3c-drops-word…

Studio24 points to Gutenberg:
w3c.studio24.net/updates/on-not…

I have some thoughts… [1/7]
[2/7]

WPTavern argues for OSS first to shame, though WP as a whole is not completely OSS (Slack over IRC / MatterMost?).

More importantly, Automattic drove Gutenberg as a business decision, not community decision — Wix / etc. as revenue threats, Automattic assignees as proof.
[3/7]

Automattic already signaled accessibility is not a priority — look at Gutenberg’s history (and need to crowdsource an audit). It did not bring its $3 billion bulk to bear to address it, relying on volunteers to drive accessibility efforts.

A few people shared with me the Duet Date Picker because it asserts it is a “WCAG 2.1 compliant date picker”.

I don’t think it is, but I did not have to go too far to find out that, regardless of that claim, its accessibility is…. questionable.

github.com/duetds/date-pi…
Someone noted the placeholder is an issue:
github.com/duetds/date-pi…

NVDA arrow key navigation may be wonky:
github.com/duetds/date-pi…

High Contrast Mode issue for keyboard users:
github.com/duetds/date-pi…

No weekday announcement:
github.com/duetds/date-pi…

…
I found the column headers (the weekdays) do not get announced:
github.com/duetds/date-pi…

Screen reader table navigation is broken:
github.com/duetds/date-pi…

There is a live region I never hear:
github.com/duetds/date-pi…

Date pickers are *hard*. A WCAG 2.1 claim is a tall order.

[ Bob empties a truckload of random trash, plus bunches of lumber and cases of duct tape at a build site with architect waiting. ]

Bob: “There, I built it.”

Alice: “That is just… trash?”

Bob: “Ok. Tell me exactly what I need to do to fix it.”

Alice: “Hire builders.”
Bob: “I don’t have the budget for builders. I’ll do it myself.”

[ Bob grabs a 2×4, holds it up. ]

Bob: “Ok, where do I put this?”

Alice: “Seriously, hire builders. You cannot do this. It won’t be to code. Or stand up.”

Bob: “No budget. What do I do with the duct tape?”
[ Three weeks pass, Bob stands over a box-shaped pile of rubble with a door stuck to it. ]

Bob: “Done!”

Alice: “This is… dangerous.”

Bob: “What’s wrong?”

Alice: “It is not a house. It is… trash.”

Bob: “Can you give me a list, with instructions of what to do?”

You may recall my ongoing frustration with iOS and <dl>s:


Well, iOS 14 brings some good news!

A standard, unstyled <dl> is now exposed to VoiceOver users as they swipe through a page.

Note the qualifiers I added there.
If you add list styles, iOS’s ongoing refusal to convey lists properly once you style them rears its head here.

Using display: list-item or list-style-type: disc shows CSS still affects semantics for VO in iOS 14 (and presumably iPadOS 14, though I did not update).
Finally, if you just have the page read to you (read-from-top or read-from-current-position) then the <dl> is read as a run of plain text without pauses. So that is kind of annoying for comprehension.

As always with iOS and VoiceOver, attenuate your approach based on its bugs.

After 24 hours with the Surface Duo I can say that I like the hardware feel and form factor (even if taking screen shots is a pain).

Also really like side-by-side apps (which you can already do on Android), though not yet a fan of the overall Microsoft UI. More time needed. Screen shot with Twitter on...
Two images with the Surface Duo in portrait mode. That word “Renraku” is my wallpaper peeking out through the gap between screens. IRL I just see bezel.

I like the massive keyboard that appears, even though I was trying to do this one-handed and it is *just* different enough. The same image as last twee...Portrait view with the top ...
Oof, was hoping the Surface Duo would not be such a black box for hardware fixes:
ifixit.com/Teardown/Micro…

After the Surface updates to make them more serviceable I was hoping some of that would carry over to this device.
