I just boosted it but I have to put my own statement on it: the person who wrote this really understands what they’re talking about. The best satire is truly intelligent as it skewers its target. The final point of the rant is dead right. I totally agree.

Hi, I’m Stu Robson, a Design Systems consultant and…

As we consider ways to implement #ActivityPub into our FOSS Community Calendar Ecosystem platform Koalagator, I've been looking over the differing specs for how to specify the event object schema.

Have any other folk wrestled with this?Asking before I get arms deep in this stuff.

For those playing at home...

Schema.org - Event

Schema.org is a collaborative, community activity with a mission to create, maintain, and promote schemas for structured data on the Internet.

schema.org/Event

-----
W3C Activity Vocabulary - Event

This specification describes the Activity vocabulary. It is intended to be used in the context of the ActivityStreams 2.0 format and provides a foundational vocabulary for activity structures, and specific activity types.

Fediverse Enhancement Proposal
FEP-8a8e: A common approach to using the Event object type

ActivityStreams defines the Object Type Event. In real-world applications, the event object immediately showed the need for extension. Applications featuring Event objects have often chosen to add additional attributes and clarifications (i.e., interpretations) in order to implement their particular use case. This proposal clarifies and extends the ActivityPub standard to address the needs that have arisen in real-world implementations.

[HTML] Microformats - h-event

People are using microformats to mark up profiles, posts, events and other data on their personal sites, enabling developers to build applications which use this data in useful and interesting ways.

iCalendar Standard (RFC 5545)

iCalendar was first defined as a standard as RFC 2445 in 1998 by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Today, iCalendar is used to import and synchronize events on various platforms, including smart phones, computer and web applications.

#Web #usability and #accessibility ...

This is from crimethinc.com, but I'm not trying to pick particularly on them. There are many, many, many sites just as bad or worse.

This is a screenshot from an article on their site today, rendered in Firefox (Linux).

See the hair-thin font? See the fact that it's light grey on a white background? There's virtually no contrast between the text and the background.

This is an accessibility nightmare for those with any sort of vision problem. Picking the colour out of the screenshot (I didn't look at the CSS), it appears the text is basically 45% grey. This is ludicrous.

If the font face had some heft, it might be still be half-assed readable with contrast this low.

But as is... If I were to take my contacts out, I wouldn't even be able to tell that this screenshot *had* any of the normal-sized text in it, much less be able to read any of it.

Web designers, I beg you: please consider more than the appearance of what you're creating when you're making design choices.

Remember that not everyone is a 20- or 30-something with near-perfect vision.

Remember that people have cataracts or other types of eye cloudiness which necessitate high-contrast text to be able to read, even if they scale the fonts up by a huge amount.

Remember that vision degrades naturally in people in many ways other than "just wear glasses" can fix.
