It's a good feeling

So I notice the Steam Deck officially supports custom boot animations now

@bright_helpings The most common and major accessibility (a11y) issues tend to be documented and well-known among a11y practitioners; however, “smaller” or “niche” issues (for lack of a better term) tend to go unnoticed. For instance, I recently learned that over-use of soft-hyphens can trip up the speech synthesis of the NVDA screen reader, and styling superscripts/subscripts a certain way can stop screen readers from announcing them. I also learned about how performance issues can cause delays in screen readers, making content exposed to screen readers fall out-of-sync with the actual page. We won’t learn about this in accessibility tutorials or W3C documentation! The only way to discover these issues is to use many screen readers for a long time.

What are some accessibility hazards—or even mild annoyances—you experience, that you don’t think most a11y practitioners learn about? Is there a common annoyance you wouldn’t normally bring up because it seems “too minor”?

I'm about caught up on my commission queue, so it's time to open up more slots. If anyone is interested, feel free to get in touch by Telegram (@GavUnimpressive), Discord (Gavin#1368), or notes to discuss. If you'd like to support my art, I also have a tip jar at https://ko-fi.com/unimpressive/ . Thank you for your interest in my work!

Mushrooms are weird haha

Where do people go for basic HTML templates these days? Making a very simple site, no animations or transitions or such, just one that won't look like arse.
