@aral Have you seen this? https://twitter.com/SDullien/status/1061199407402680321

Since web #accessibility and inclusive design is most of all an educational problem, it's great to have people like @heydon who can literally cook up great comparisons: "Why Inclusive Design is like cooking a curry"

#EuropeanAccessibilityAct has made a huge step forward to implementation in the last days. Read WebDevLaw's twitter thread (https://twitter.com/WebDevLaw/status/1062283580548751360) how it affects the brexiting UK, and check out http://www.europarl.europa.eu/news/en/press-room/20181108IPR18560/european-accessibility-act-parliament-and-council-negotiators-strike-a-deal to learn slightly more (an informational microsite on the #EAA from yours truly is being prepared)

New blog post on the status of #accessibleapp, what I learned since the last article, useful customer projects and strategies for accessible Routes in Single-Page #Vue #React #Angular #a11y

https://marcus.io/blog/a11y-app-status-side-benefits-routes

Currently writing the next blog post for the #accessibleapp project. Had the opportunity lately to advise a web agency regarding #a11y of a single page application, esp. regarding routes, dialogs and focus management, and the research for #accessibleapp helped big time!

#a11y folks - is there anything against doing the following:

Using #Vue router, after route change & a component being called, using said component's mounted lifecycle method to #focus the 1st sensible element within it, after a delay of course?

Protip: Fire up #FirefoxNightly and check your SSL certificates. Just visited the German website of Kellogg's (because of a dumb joke) and learned that they use a Symantec Cert which isn't trusted anymore by Firefox > 62 it seems:

I don't need to edit Toots themselves, but editable image descriptions would be really nice (in case you forgot to add them) #a11y #ux @Gargron
