🌦 August's roundup – tempertemper newsletter
Hello!
It has been a wet month where I live ☔️ Despite being cooped up indoors, I only managed five posts, rather than the fifteen I managed the month before. I've had a lot going on with a change of jobs, so needed to put my focus elsewhere.
I can't promise fifteen posts this coming month (that kind of pace doesn't feel very sustainable…) but I've got a few posts in the pipeline and have some time off between jobs where I've scheduled to (finally!) record some HTML fundamentals videos. Watch this space 🎥
From the blog
August marked my last month working in UK government, after 2½ years. I wrote the briefest of posts to mark the end of an era.
I also got a bit excited about an iOS 14 feature they didn't mention at WWDC called Back Tap. I think it could be a great work-around for the awkward Control Centre access gesture on Face ID iPhones. Let's hope iOS 14 lands this month.
Here's the full list of posts from August:
- Saying goodbye to UK government
- WebKit has fixed the implicit role on footers
- iOS 14’s Back Tap; a better way to access Control Centre
- Putting the time in up front
- Text snippets on Apple devices
Elsewhere on the web
Mostly accessibility related this month:
- 5 most annoying website features I face as a blind person every single day
- A Guide to Understanding What Makes a Typeface Accessible
- The difference between aria-label and aria-labelledby
In a slight change in scheduling this month, the next newsletter will be with you on the 30th of September – it makes more sense to send a monthly roundup on the last day of each month! See you then 👋
