For 5 years now I've been learning about web accessibility and reviewing websites. But I'm not a native screen reader user, and my mobile app experience is lacking.
This month I learned about "Accessibility Actions" or "actions available" for VoiceOver and TalkBack. I shoulda known about it for years-- it makes navigation by swiping potentially much quicker.
Would you be willing to share your thoughts and experiences with this feature?

@… is wondering how much trouble a skipped heading level is for screen reader users. Three users have replied but it'd be great to see more feedback. Anyone else willing to reply to Manuel's post? Here is the link:

I need your help to understand if I'm wrong. If you find a blog overview page with the following document outline, do you believe the skipped h2 poses a problem for screen reader users? (Imagine the headings are all descriptive) h1 blog h3 title of first article h3 title of second article ... It's not ideal, but it's not a WCAG violation. Are the consequences for the user bad or is it okay to be pragmatic here and give it a pass? edit: it's not a site I'm building but one I'm auditing.

I know #Pixelfed doesn't support muting hashtags on the server side.
Are there any clients that support muting in the client?

Two years ago at #CSUN I learned about what became my favorite browser extension, BeeLine Reader. I've been a subscriber ever since.
It's easy to set up on desktop, but has been some struggle to get working on Android. But this week I discovered it works with Microsoft's Edge Canary mobile browser, which has experimental support for extensions. Instructions are here:

A paragraph of text in black, red and blue. Each line ends with a particular color, and the next line starts with that same color, fading into a different color across the line. The paragraph reads: Suffering from screen fatigue? We’re here to help! BeeLine Reader makes reading on-screen easier, faster, and more enjoyable. We use a simple cognitive trick — an eye-guiding color gradient — to pull your eyes through long blocks of text. This helps you read more effectively and maintain your focu…

#SilentSunday

A clump of daffodils, with five yellow blooms and several tall green leaves coming out of the ground. They're in an area of brush, surrounded by tall thin dead stems of some plants, fallen autumn leaves, small sticks, and a few patches of green grass or clover or other small plants. In the background is a chain link fence, and behind that a couple dozen tall, thin tree trunks with no leaves visible. The photo looks up a hill, and beyond the trees is a blueish gray sky.

Tar Hollow State Park
Taken 8 May 2024
#ThickTrunkTuesday #FallenTree #Ohio #StatePark

A fallen tree with a thick trunk runs horizontally over a dirt trail through the forest. It is high enough in the air that it looks like many people could walk underneath without ducking. To the left of the trail is another fallen tree trunk of similar size, but it has been sawed off to make room for the trail. The forest is lush with deciduous leaves. This part of the forest is open to the sun, and the fallen branch casts a parallel shadow across the trail. In the distance, another fallen tru…

A lost cupcake couple
Taken 28 March 2025
#Urban #Street #Ground #Cupcake

Two cupcakes sit on an asphalt street in front of the curb. The left cupcake is intact but upside-down. It has a red wrapper and white icing with red flecks. The cake itself is hard to see but it looks light colored. The right cupcake has been squished. Its white wrapper is sprawled out and underneath, brown cake is spread out on the road. The photo is taken at ground level and the vertical side of the curb takes up most of the view. Above the curb can be seen two multistory buildings, one of r…

Defunct railroad building.

#WindowFriday #FensterFreitag #Abandoned #Ohio

A window in the wall of a dilapidated one-story building, seen from the inside. The window is a two by four grid of panes, but all the glass appears to be missing. A small line of glass shards can still be seen clinging to the bottom of the window. Outside is a lot of green trees and brush, with a dull gray sky behind them. There's a wood frame around the window, although for some reason the top of the frame is lower than the top of the window, so it covers part of the window. The wood is bump…
