@axbom @daniel Jag tror att det kan blir svårt eftersom det är ett efternamn...

Jag hittade faktiskt en konversation från 2018 när vi pratade om den här faktiskt!

@axbom Axbom AB... Eller fungerar inte det eftersom det är ett namn?

I wasn't happy with how I've implemented half-stars on my semlor.info website. It made use of a "dimmed" colour. Even though the rating is written out in text elsewhere, it wanted to improve it.

Sadly the half star unicode character is badly supported and "tofu" in all the places I tested. https://unicode-explorer.com/c/2BE8

So instead I've gone for a css based solution. Take a look at this Codepen: https://codepen.io/beantin/pen/VYKKzVq

@leffe @meganL oh, that's just two days before shrove Tuesday itself! Very traditional

@leffe good point about flagging things like palm oil. I'll made a note of checking that next time I do a supermarket one. I do have some tags in the data that the site is generated from

@leffe Each review page has an embedded open street map, but I marked it as aria hidden as the leaflet embed didn't appear to be accessible enough.

I do have adding a map with all reviews as pins on the to do list. Others have asked for that. Along with a search function.

@meganL oh, I'd love to go there and try it if they do! I really need a generous sponsor! 😂

I've done a lot of work this season in expanding and improving my website with reviews of Semlor (the Swedish lent bun).

I'd be really interested to get feedback from people regarding the accessibility of it. Is there anything that isn't great and could be improved?

There are a lot of alt descriptions still to be written, but I'm working on it. The newer reviews all have high quality ones 🙂

@axbom @stephenpa I was going to tell you about it, but travelling got in the way. I got a little excited that it was a novel end to the Christmas bock this year!

Many great insights.

Here's one...

🙄 And AI is going to take all our jobs...

@hbuchel svg's and iframes I'd say; without checking and digging. But those two elements spring to mind as having scecific accessibility benefits or having a title attribute (or a title element in the case of an svg)

When did you last do any user research?

I've worked with teams that know research is a Good Thing, and want to do more, but struggle to keep up momentum. There are always reasons (and excuses!) as to why. 🙂

Over the years, I've found that reminding teams of when they last talked to users can work really well for nudging them towards making it happen more often.

So, I've made a tiny tool to help you with that.

Talk to users!

It's just struck me that the AI boom is perhaps the best global wealth tax ever executed, given the amount of investment coming from the tech giants own reserves, rich (private) investors and sovereign wealth funds.

That's something to put on the list of positives! 😂

Microsoft are finally implementing support for separate handling of consent for analytics and marketing in Clarity.

Historically it's all been bundled into one and was focused on using cookies or not. Which was always inadequate.

I've updated my blog post.
