She has kindly offered to run a competition to see who can best improve this year’s app (freshly built with the help of Claude). We have put up a prize of a ticket to iOSDevUK with 3 nights accommodation.

So I'm walking up to a parcel machine that's standing the sun. The barcode scanner doesn't work. The text on dirty screen is barely visible. I notice an "increase contrast" option. It turns out it just changes color scheme to one where the contrast is even worse! 🤦

Anyone know of any free Speech-to-text translator apps for Windows 11? Asking for a friend. Apparently the older version is being retired (I am not too sure about the in's and out's of it) #a11y #accessibility

On Android, if your screen is unlocked when an incoming call is received you get a drop down with 'accept', 'dont accept' - does anyone know how to make it easier for people with shaky hands to use those?

Red Alert: DOJ Web Rule in Danger

Links need more than just a color change to distinguish them.
If your solution is `font-weight: 500`, don’t be surprised when you get dinged for 1.4.1 Use of Color.

Use an underline.
