  Speaking of testing your creations, here’s the good news: If your project has a solid HTML foundation that you then progressively enhance with CSS and JS, you are off to a great start.

  • Eitan Isaacson: MacOS Accessibility with pyax

When we compare our API against other browsers like Safari or Chrome, we notice small differences that have out-sized user impacts.
