some accessibility concerns with https://fedipact.online have been brought to my attention and i'm working on addressing them. more specifically, the readability of the color contrast and the animations
i wanna put a button on there that flips the text and background colors, making it hot pink on black, and disables the animated floating hearts (they're already disabled if the user has "reduced motion" on)
i just... don't have the web design skills necessary to do so lol. BUT someone else is working on it!!! so it should be fixed and better soonsies
thanks to everyone who pointed this out :heart_cyber_pink:
there's also been some other stuff mentioned like the links needing to be underlined and the hearts needing to be properly formatted as bullet points so each individual one isn't read out by screenreaders
underlining links will be easy, but i have no idea how to format the hearts as bullets

If I go to a site and encounter a "cookies" screen like this one, I immediately close the window, never return.
I want an option, right up front, to decline cookies.
I'm fine if you make the case to "support our site" by accepting cookies. I might do so. But if you don't give me the choice to decline, right up front, I'm out.
With the news that @GIMP is expected to finally launch its 3.0 release in May... I'm wondering if I should hold off on learning how to use the app, until they actually release it?! 🤔

I don't understand why some #WebDev "professionals" often use only ready-made #CSS libraries for website design. No, not everything is easy but, for example, creating #links so that users can see how they lead outside the #website is standard in my opinion.
I have illustrated it for clarification. You can of course change the #logo's to other UTF-8 characters or position according to the desired #design ;)

Let's see if I can find a solution that works without JavaScript but I doubt that I will find out that it is not possible.
