Ah, I thought you were kidding as that is such a negative attitude, but I cannot say I blame you!

The WCAG being overwhelming and the lack of proper examples is something I can truly sympathise with.

It does sadden me to see someone think this way about accessibility but it is understandable given the breadth of the topic (if it is any consolation each part of accessibility is very "shallow". You need to know 200 hundred little things not 20 big things).

I am about to embark on a different path with my content creation, I hope I produce some stuff that helps you change that mindset and just learn a little bit about accessibility each day. ❀

I've read most of your articles and you at least take proper effort to make stuff understandable, which I appreciate. if the wcag documentation was easier to digest I'd look at accessibility in a better way

Well challenge accepted, my aim is to make you understand and want to engage with accessibility more! Maybe a WCAG in plain English series could be useful!

I am about to do an Ultimate UI series over the next few months where I build UI components that are β€œperfect” and that will feature semantics, accessibility etc so hopefully that will help! ❀️
