It's mobile-friendly as-is. I made sure that tap-targets were even
bigger and more spaced-apart, just to be safe.
Hide unnecessary nav-links in print mode.
When a figure is in the middle of a section, mobile screen reader users
might not switch away from heading-based navigation. Instead, they might
just jump to the next heading.
Re-organize the page to put some skippable content closer to the end of
sections, and add a section describing the need for this.
Also add a transcript to the screenshot of BMFW, and adopt the new
quotecaption shortcode, and fix some structured data by using some
shortcodes properly.
Some old browser engines don't fully support hyphenation, so they need
some extra help. Now, the entire site should fit in a 150 CSS-pixel wide
viewport.
Clean up some link text too so the text alone is more useful.
- Shrink some excessive alt text
- Remove some redundant links
- Screenreaders that split elements up aren't just on touchscreens
- Mention ChromeVox in list of screen readers
- Move TOC higher in page
- Spelling
- Drop more unused classes
- Replace hashes in code snippets with variables for screen-readability
- Use hyphens where valid instead of combined words for screen reader
pronunciation
- Typo
- Add WIP section on screen reader support tips not already covered.
- New section on in-page search
- Mention most alt search indexes don't support JS
- Background images bad
- More sample tests: word processors that support HTML
- Mention checking privacy policies for 3p content
- Elaborate on more mainstream examples of color overrides
- Link to CSS WG docs instead of MDN for prefers-contrast since they're
more detailed.
- Specify that I'm just removing margins in <figure> elements for
quotations.
- Add quote describing how blind readers struggle to find non-semantic context
- Mention that longdesc is deprecated by simple hyperlinks. Describe an alternative.
- Transcripts are necessary for machine translation
- Improve alt-text used alongside an image transcript
- Re-phrase a line referring to a previous section; after some
re-arrangements, that section is no longer a "previous" section.
- Replace spatial terminology ("bottom") with sequential terminology
("end")
- Add note on font enumeration without the Font Access API
- Acknowledge testing in grayscale but emphasize that it isn't enough.
- Move defense of link underlines to just after the section on custom
colors, since it's more relevant to it.
- Add xkcd image into the page instead of just linking, since the linked
page content is an image that doesn't include a transcript or
descriptive alt-text.
- Trivial rephrasings
- Make sure that headings don't have the same name as any links, to
avoid creating links with similar names but different purposes
- Remove useless <aside> elements that wrap landmarks.
- Move TOC down a bit, after the intro.
- Elaborate on each image optimization tool
- Mention using GNU Parallel or squoosh.app
- Describe libavif with libaom+butteraugli and the YUV400 color space
- Why you should avoid srcsets based on viewport or display properties
- Fix code snippet for <picture> sample
Threw in some formatting and very minor phrasing fixes.
- Elaborate on how contrast needs to be maintained under different
conditions like different screens, gamma adjustments, and color
blindnesses
- Add my skepticism about progressive decoding.
