Surprise, proper semantic & structural HTML (with lessons from AT) can better position you for future conversational UIs. https://alistapart.com/article/conversational-semantics

New Mastodon instances are a great way to be reminded of all the new TLDs we don’t see brands using.

i keep getting the impression that some stuff happened today, but I just can't figure out what it is....
golly, what could it be.

Afternoon of Apple TV user testing. Our users are NOT USED to click on menu to go back and they look for a back button in the UI.
Guidelines are great, but always test on your real users in your specific context to know if you should follow them or need something more specific

I gathered my ideas & experiments on variable fonts for dyslexia, but hit a wall. Hoping someone can run with it. http://adrianroselli.com/2018/08/variable-fonts-and-dyslexia.html
Hahaha. Oh that’s a funny auto correct
Mom trying out the amaroq app for mastodon on iPhone. I like it so far, but wondering if anyone uses a different app they like?
