@axbom @daniel Jag tror att det kan blir svårt eftersom det är ett efternamn...

Jag hittade faktiskt en konversation från 2018 när vi pratade om den här faktiskt!

I wasn't happy with how I've implemented half-stars on my semlor.info website. It made use of a "dimmed" colour. Even though the rating is written out in text elsewhere, it wanted to improve it.

Sadly the half star unicode character is badly supported and "tofu" in all the places I tested. https://unicode-explorer.com/c/2BE8

So instead I've gone for a css based solution. Take a look at this Codepen: https://codepen.io/beantin/pen/VYKKzVq

@leffe good point about flagging things like palm oil. I'll made a note of checking that next time I do a supermarket one. I do have some tags in the data that the site is generated from

@leffe Each review page has an embedded open street map, but I marked it as aria hidden as the leaflet embed didn't appear to be accessible enough.

I do have adding a map with all reviews as pins on the to do list. Others have asked for that. Along with a search function.

@meganL oh, I'd love to go there and try it if they do! I really need a generous sponsor! 😂

I've done a lot of work this season in expanding and improving my website with reviews of Semlor (the Swedish lent bun).

I'd be really interested to get feedback from people regarding the accessibility of it. Is there anything that isn't great and could be improved?

There are a lot of alt descriptions still to be written, but I'm working on it. The newer reviews all have high quality ones 🙂
