Live in the Chrome Web Store:

Our extension ‘Simulating #accessibility personas’ is available and more easily installable.

Building on the GOV.UK accessibility personas, @jonowak.eu built it for our internal testing routine at @digitalservice.bund.de.

A laptop screen displays a webpage with a popup labeled "Simulating accessibility personas." The popup offers options to simulate web experiences for users with visual, motor, or cognitive impairments, each with a "Simulate" button.

We want your feedback!

My colleague @joshuanowak.bsky.social has built a Chrome extension to improve activating the GOV.UK #Accessibility Personas—to make testing easier & faster.

It’s still a bit beta and not yet in the Chrome Webstore.
We like to submit it shortly but want to ensure it’s robust.

Bluesky Network Analyzer Find accounts that you don't follow (yet) but are followed by lots of accounts that you do follow.

My app for finding 🦋 accounts you may want to follow has had a make-over: it now displays names and bios, and allows adding an "app password" for direct follow buttons in the listing

I have seen enough cat photos in my feed to conclude that Bluesky is the most promising social network at this point
