Amanda Rush(Placeholder, edit later) WordPress powers over a quarter of the web. With such a large market share comes a shared responsibility to create a web that everyone can use and enjoy, regardless of how they access it.
post from Genuine, non-snarky question for developers: At what point are accessibility folk permitted to be anything less than paragons of patience and diplomacy with regard to web accessibility?
I bookmarked a post by Heydon Pickering entitled Web Accessibility Is Out To Get You And Make You Feel Sad and my sharing of that post received some feedback from one of the developers who was apparently involved and who has made the accusation that Heydon is attempting to hide …

post from My webmention endpoint wish list
While it has some rough edges, the Webmention protocol has a lot going for it. One of the nice things about it is that it's easy to add support via a third-party endpoint, such as webmention.io, which is what I (and many others) use.
