Develoger, Frontend Developer at Smava
Mass consumption of the Internet started with a click. At least that is true for the lucky majority of the population who either have no issues with their eye sight or just don’t like to use the keyboard.

Kitty Giraudel, Frontend developer, Accessibility advocate, Author, Speaker
We all know that accessibility should be baked in all our projects. But what is it even? This topic is so wide that it is sometimes hard to grasp. We’ll take the amazing opportunity to meet on the Global Accessibility Awareness Day to discuss how accessibility blends into inclusive design, and what it means to design for all people.Video
