@inhuofficial I re-read my reply on this and realized I may have missed your point to an extent about accessibility (running on fumes after an all nighter).

Are tweets shared via a dev.to post something that will make the page inaccessible all together for visitors using screen readers?

If I wasn't able to easily share the tweets via liquid tags, I most likely wouldn't have made the post. It's reached over 1600 readers in less than 24 hours and seems to be adding value to readers. Is that value completely inaccessible to users using screen readers?

Were the tweets less accessible or completely inaccessible?

No no, not completely inaccessible at all. Just a bad experience.

The values is there, I really did try to make it clear it is only the use of embedding tweets that is an issue, the tips are top notch!

I am certainly not suggesting you should do anything drastic.

They are just tips that instead of embedding the tweets you should turn them into an actual article and copy the content in as it will be more accessible and nicer to read (plus like I said about having to add things to the comments...you wonโ€™t have that problem.)

It would have been quicker to copy paste the content and format it.

I am certainly not saying not to post it, just suggesting better ways to do it that I would hope will result in even more upvotes and by extension, even more views!
