Use excessively harsh colors in response to a "prefers-contrast: more"
media query, but otherwise use something a bit softer to accommodate
overstimulation.
- Stop using draft WAI-ARIA 1.3 that isn't supported yet
- Make in-page links focusable across shortcodes/partials
- Replace existing in-page heading anchor links with a more accessible
option.
- Make backlinks aria-labelledby instead of giving them an aria-label,
so they can be translated.
- Streamline CSS to reduce duplication
- Better backlink accessible names for endnotes with multiple backlinks
This required updating a false positive filter in my vnu jq filter.
- Adopt more shortcodes in older posts.
- Contain figures, excluding images. Slightly decreases paint times.
- Fix spacing issues for nested articles.
- Always enable vertical scrollbar, since pretty much all pages are
taller than the viewport. Eliminates a layout shift.
- Moar microdata
- Set fixed updated dates for some posts so they don't get new
date-updated values until I actually change the content significantly
Side margins created to prevent mis-taps on scrollbars or swipe-backs
for going back should not scale with zoom; that would make reading while
zoomed in impossible.
- Make webring links touch-friendly and accessible by using spaced-out
details elements.
- Make details elements touch-friendly by indicating interactive region
area and making summary padded.
- Sort featured posts by featured order.
- Ensure that at least one non-interactive tappable region exists on the
screen at all times, 48x48 px.
Adjust margins/paddings to actually meet the 48px recommended
tap-target size.
Also get rid of the unstyled-list class. Now my stylesheet only uses a
single class; everything else is actually-semantic-markup.
Increased font size to decrease chars-per-line (SC 1.4.8) and increase
tap target size.
Pad the nav links more and add some extra space between them to meet SC
2.5.5.
Fixing the misaligned inline nav using "inline-block" also made it
obvious that I can simplify compound selectors. The max number of
compound selectors has dropped from 4 to 2. Update stylelint configs to
reflect this.
Also fix containment to reflect a prior change (webmentions are a
section, not a footer.)
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.
- Better print stylesheet, now with a file dedicated just for print
style improvements.
- Hide extra stuff in print.
- Bring back navbar for print because it also tells users the current
section and the site name.
- Dark theme: make superscripts bold instead of using a higher-contrast
color.
- Goldmark 1.4.12 switches footnotes from a <section> to a <div>; update
regexes and stylesheet to account for this.
- Goldmark 1.4.12 allows multiple footnotes with the same reference; use
that.
- Clean up templates for unminified output. Also delete an unused class.
- Switch to unminified output by default.
Existing link colors made it hard to distinguish between visited and
unvisted links on screens that had warmer color temperatures. Adjusted
the colors to make the distinction clear.
Unfortunately, that adjustment made superscript visited links (for
footnotes) fail the APCA, so I added a solid black background to
superscripts. Now they too should have good contrast.
- I felt dark-mode links were still a bit harsh, so I lightened them.
- Improved perceptual contrast of the purple visited links by making the
background color slightly less blue.
- On widescreen, make footer links inline. They happen to be about the
same width as the global nav, which makes this work well.
WCAG recommends telling visitors about their current place in a site's
hierarchy. All pages are exactly zero or one level below a section, so
simply emphasizing a member of the navigation links should be
sufficient.
- Use borders instead of <hr>
- Distinguish <kbd> from <code> and body text with boldness
- Improve dark contrast and make dark visited links look distinct from
regular text
- Improve focus indicators
