Great reminder from @PraeSongprasit at #A11yCamp to ensure you're testing what is actually on the page and users can see or interact with over ID's and classes. React Testing Library makes this easy with queries that match the accessible role and accessible name!

“Don’t believe the hype” by @RavenAlly is fantastic and just so spot on! I have heard the quote she said 1,000 times. “It’s Google Material, you don’t need to test it” no matter what framework you choose, you need to test it!! #A11yCamp #A11y #webdev youtu.be/mbkhIrz0fOg

A subtle shift of journey times from the left to the right of the vertical journey line creates more space in large text mode. Considering this during design rather than waiting until build/QA made this possible. Niiiiice. #A11yCamp
