Oh and what do you think about converting the tag a11y to accessibility and making them synonyms on dev.to?

I'd totally support that😂😂. While I've been creating sites for a while, only recently I started looking into accessibility. And I can say, I was fcking confused by a11y.😅 So yeah, if we want things to be accessible, we should start at making the topic itself clear to understand.

That is it! If you somehow manage to do those 5 items your site / web app / app will be 90% accessible.

I'll see how far I can get on my portfolio website with these. If I get stuck I'll be in your DM's like:

Haha DM me all you want, I have set my DMs to "open to everyone" and I would be happy to help!

If one more person agrees on the "a11y" thing then I will start harrassing the dev team to get it sorted 🤣🤣🤣🤣, I am glad it isn't just me!
