Here’s the source of the WebKit isDataTable() implementation. Did you know—among other style-based checks—it looks for zebra-striped tables? github.com/WebKit/webkit/blo… 10/20

If you’re worried Apple’s Liquid Glass is doing too much, rest assured there will be accessibility settings that tone it down. Reduce transparency to minimize lensing, reduce motion to cut liquid animations, and increase contrast to make components predominately black-and-white.

I'll be giving a talk again this year at CSUN about a variety of VoiceOver and low-vision #accessibility features available in iOS. If you are attending or are in Anaheim next week (March 18th-22nd) come say hi! csun.edu/cod/conference/sess…

Built this app for myself and regularly use it to explain color spaces visually. It also comes in handy and saves a ton of time when I want to take screenshots.

During my accessibility lab at WWDC one of the Apple employees said that he had low vision and really praised the work I was doing to handle large text. That made me feel so good and motivated me to do even better.

One fun note regarding #WWDC23. I fought my imposter syndrome originally holding me back, and snatched an #accessibility design lab spot. Overall super insightful! They also thanked me for considering accessibility early on, and that really made my day.
