Is there a way in Safari to see alt-text? I don't need this for tooltips (yes, I know that's title); I'm checking accessibility. I thought maybe if I turned off images in the developer inspector, it would show alt-text, but it doesn't then either. And the Audit tool only says "yes, there's an alt tag." It doesn't let me check what's in it (for example, maybe "fit" when I've copied over some markdown).

Is there another tool that makes it easier to quickly spot-check accessibility mistakes?

@RobW @cocoaphony +1 for hover text :) https://iosdev.space/@bas/111987688929993664

Robin @Robinkanatzar has started auditing apps for accessibility, and you should absolutely hire her. https://www.accessiblemobileapps.com/audits

One of the habits that stuck with me from the madness of 2020 is daily walks around the neighborhood.

I ended up befriending an elderly gentleman because I couldn't resist asking if I could pet his two cute dogs.

Both dogs have since passed away and I just found out that so did he a few days ago.

I wish I would have known that the last time I saw him was the last time I was going to see him.

The "one more small feature" I wanted to add before I started revamping my paywall has morphed into a lot of work.

I can't decided if it's genuinely a good idea or if I'm just procrastinating for something I don't want to do. 🫠

I shared these two accessibility tips at @iosdevhappyhour earlier, and thought I'd share them here as well.

On macOS, System Settings > Accessibility > Zoom, then enable Hover Text. It allows you to hover over text but also icons, to figure out what they mean and to verify if they have proper accessibility labels!

Pro tip: you can even use Hover Text on macOS within the simulator to test your iOS app!

    Ever wanted to see a two-meter-wide Xcode window? You can flick between code, simulator, and live device completely seamlessly – the app window just slides up next to Xcode as you'd expect, so development is extremely fast 🙌

    I've been trying to help diversify conferences in ways that I can. Last year, I helped @swiftable find speakers to diversify their lineup.

    This year, I've asked conferences I applied to, to invite a speaker diversifying their lineup alongside me.

    I'm looking forward to do more in the future.

    I noticed that some of my section headers are being truncated in my settings menu with the largest accessibility text sizes.

    I tried using a ".fixedSize(horizontal: false, vertical: true)" to prevent this, but then part of the word gets obstructed.

    Is there a way to address this?

    A bunch of (iOS) friends at Spotify have been affected by today’s restructuring and layoffs. If you’re hiring, I’d love to recommend them!

    Ben Harraway is running the coolest (free) promo. Send him a 500x77 banner for your app and he'll make it a court side advertisement in his upcoming basketball game Hoops.

    You can email the banner to him at ben@lumen-digital.com

    I went to a new bakery this morning and they did allow you to pay with Apple Pay but to complete the transaction you had to provide a digital signature. 😵‍💫
