slightly hot take: when it comes to site buttons, hotlinking > not hotlinking. the site owner can update the button, bandwidth feels negligible for a 5kb button (at least in my case), and a broken image feels fine as its likely just gonna be a dead link anyway.

another accessibility thing that for some reason bugs me the most: PLEASE dont use jusitified text. at times it makes those really awkward to read lines where the spacing between words is excessively long

your interactive sticker is a neat concept (i think i might make one), but do you have a non-js alternative?

thinking about accessibility on my site cuz i wanna join accessible net...i dont think im the worst, but i def have some areas for improvement. some tricky things include toggling gifs on my links page, a light mode, and redoing the homepage to not be entirely 3d.

i took a look and the gifs look ok to me! i don't think i saw any rapid bright flashing, so a gif toggle would be a nice bonus but not a requirement. :> would love to have you on there when you're done though!

btw for the alt text section, i dont think `alt="null"` works for purely decorative images. trying it in firefox with narrator, and it announces it literally as "null" instead of ignoring it.

yeah, for purely decorative images, alt="" (without any content between the quotation marks) is sufficient

I read something by someone with low vision saying that an empty alt tag made them think the person had just forgotten to leave an alt tag, while a null tag let them know it was something unimportant :0

alt="" *is* the null attribute? leaving it blank would mean not tacking on the alt attribute in the first place.

i think this post was written for people posting on social media platforms that provide an alt text field (in other words, sites that aren't handcoded) - that's where writing "null" would make sense.

the fact that i figured out how to make a custom thumbnail on neocities so my homepage shows up correctly is more showing that my homepage shouldnt just be an entire 3d scene

pinkvampyr its kinda hacky, but you detect the user agent for headless chrome and just overlay an image. heres my script if you want it: https://dabric.neocities.org/custom-banner.js

Hey Frills, thanks for the follow! Your site is a sight (ha) for sore eyes, and I really like your accessibility pages (the link to the article Web accessibility: People or profit? rings true).

Heya! No worries. I am here for everything your site stands for. That article resonates right? Particularly the bit about 'Accessibility advocates often feel that they must present their case for accessibility with a capitalistic flair.' is sad but true

For sure, almost every accessibility lecture etc I've watched has to frame it in terms of Accessibility will improve your bottom line because it will increase traffic to your site which equals more money.
