I'm still reeling from this week. #Link23 was *by far* the best conference I have attended. It was wonderful to learn from so many experts in DevRel, and meet so many new folks.

I'm working on a trip report for work, and there are too many highlights to name. I hope I'll return next year, prepared to contribute further and reconnect with new found friends.

Well-thought out gifts communicate a lot. I love nothing more than receiving a gift and recognizing the person who gave it understands me. I hope the gifts I give offer the same feeling.
I joined #Chrome just over a year ago and have had so many questions about how browsers work. Now we have great #documentation on it by Sam Dutton: https://developer.chrome.com/docs/web-platform/#chrome-concepts

@jsit you’ve motivated me to look for the commercial I have been singing since 2000 that no one remembers and I could never find online. Finally found it. https://youtu.be/0Me3na_EPKo

@ilanaslightly ah and now I see the context / your solution. Works well!
@ilanaslightly use the alt text area as a summary / the headline, then include the text in the post itself (and context: if the image is truly a block of text, something like “text copied from image”). Some screen readers have character limits and could cut the alt text short if it’s too long.
While it’s possible some screen readers have image text scanning ability, better to assume your user doesn’t have it. Possible someone can’t read the copy but doesn’t use a screen reader.
There were so many terrific talks at Web Directions. What an honor to speak among such innovative people. I look forward to next year.
Now on stage at @[email protected] to talk about “Building Amazing Apps with Project Fugu 🐡 APIs”. If you’re not at #WebDirections, just follow along (or catch up) from the comfort of your sofa 🛋️ at home: https://goo.gle/web-directions-fugu. 🦘 The app from the talk is https://svgco.de/.
