no of course not, is this your first time hearing of HTML5BP? There's a reason most of OP's boilerplate is copied and pasted from HTML5BP.

Is it better in any way? There's very little difference. We might not need a canonical URL, the favicon declarations are not needed, there's no repo...there's a reason HTML5BP is an industry standard.

I've written an accessible skin for HN that's about 90% complete. It targets WCAG 2.0. I will post it here when it's released. The text is mostly illegible, but there are LOTS of other issues too, tap target sizing for exampl

In this case a capitalist put in an offer to purchase homes, the owners accepted the offer. They didn't risk being "cast out." They were offered a lease agreement, and they accepted this offer. They were not "left"

So the transfer of state-owned assets to oligarchs is the significantly comparable as buying four houses and renting them to their owners? Do you even know what happened after the fall of the Soviet Union?

Then why post about it in a thread about novel tools? Great, your small blog doesn't need frameworks.

Yes, I cited the beginning and the end of the article, which is hard to do if you haven't read it. > it is a demonstration of how that bullet point 'no' is turned into an email Right, the word "no" is rephrased.

This is an ad, most of the user's submissions are for this site. It's also a terrible article. The first example is why saying "sorry I can't" is bad, the last example is literally just "no." It's not

Developers that think we should support the iPhone 3 just to be nice have not worked on enterprise-level apps. They underestimate the cost of the things you describe--design, QA, support, etc. It's more than a media query.

Is this single example of someone using different software (by Topaz Labs) relevant to this article specifically? Or just every article about enhancement?

That's not the solution. The solution is adding the correct attributes to the markup. Attributes that are universally recognized and already work with a11y tools. In this example we'd add an aria-labelledby to the button which r

No the reader has "account_balance_wallet" (no dashes). It will read as "account_balance_wallet account balance wallet." It would be trivially easy to use ARIA attributes to indicate which span is the icon's label.

The content "trending_up" is almost useless, a voiceover will not interpret the underscore as a space. There are no ARIA attributes that link any of the text to the buttons.

Fantastic work, THANK you! A suggestion: get rid of any spaces between the windows, but keep the snapping. Sort of how Aero Snap works today, snap to the entire left half, or the entire right. Keep the 2x2 grid you have now, but just make i
