New year. New focus. New online presence and communication.
I'm changing some things about how I do things, mostly online. Accessibility content will be shared through inklusivo. My personal channels will be more personal.
Generic impact prioritization lists are an empty promise. We can do better.
I mean, at first, they seem useful right? Your website gets an accessibility audit. You get a big list of findings to work on. Where do we start? What should we do first? How do we prioritize? How about we look at the impact on users. Great! You're thinking about users!
I can't read (but I'd like to)
I have issues with reading books. I find it very hard to read a book. But I used to read quite a lot, and I'd like to get into it again. This is me reaching out, and asking your best tips!
