Coming off the back of a difficult government website build that required AA standards, one of the most difficult things to deal with is ambiguity.
Unlike once you learn HTML, CSS or JS there is always a looming feeling that there is another aria role that you should be using. This can lead to you feeling quite disheartened.
So I guess my answer to this question, would be: a deeper understanding of aria roles, and how to commit them to memory!
I emailed but I didn't get a response, so thought I would try a comment instead 😁.
If you are doing a podcast on accessibility either now or in the future and you want someone to talk I would love to be involved, it is an area I work in heavily.
As I am trying to get more involved in the dev.to community it would be great to hear back either way!
As for a question for the podcast:
"Do we really need to support Internet Explorer anymore?" - I would imagine that would make for a lively debate when talking about accessibility, given the high number of screen reader users still using IE! And if it lands on the side of "yes" the next question is "how far back should we go and what is the cut-off point for percentage of users?"
Did this podcast on accessibility actually happen yet? Can't seem to find it.
