We use a lot of our own documentation, tools, and resources at TetraLogical, so we thought it was time to share them in our new Resources section on the site: tetralogical.com/resources/ This paves the way for an upcoming release for anyone tired of rebuilding the basics from scratch. Stay tuned!

In amongst all the hullaballoo about the UK potentially banning under 16s from social media, I saw a prominent historian say: i assume banning kids from social media will be accompanied by a huge investment in teen-friendly communtiy [sic] spaces (like youth clubs) and social activities?

A lot of #accessibility annotation kits rely on designers having a technical understanding of semantic roles, landmarks, autocomplete values etc. Lots of Frontend Devs don’t even understand that stuff. As a designer, you just need to be able to articulate the expected outcome for a user.

It does, which is why I’d prefer the design pattern didn’t exist. But content order must be logical programmatically as well as visually. The description approach has different issues, for example when searching for the text. There might be cases where one is better (or less worse) than the other.

Ian Pouncey @ianpouncey.bsky.social · 06/12/2024
My preferred approach is to put the descriptor after the heading in the source order, then position it above with CSS. Flexbox and grid both make it easy enough to do. Add visually hidden text, such as “Tags: “, if the purpose of the descriptor is unclear.
