Azeez is amongst the bravest of all our speakers (!): Explains the theory *and* shows us the code behind his AI-driven holiday planning tool, breaking down each step utilised. #FrontEndSheff

Martin & Co from South Yorkshire Digital Infrastructure Team has used 6 million (!) data points to check whether MNO - and Ofcom - speed claims are accurate. #FrontEndSheff

A slightly avant-garde #FrontEndSheff last night, but one of our attendees said it best:

> "I feel excited about being a dev again now thank uuu"

@alifeee & @neilzilla put on a great - for want of a better term - show for us: highlighting the broad range of tools and skills we have as frontend developers to fix… well, loads of stuff. Thanks lads!

Anyone have some interesting adventures via the 'personal website roulette'?

This #FrontEndSheff talk is welcoming comments. Brave. Also remember we have a CoC lol x

https://guestbooks.alifeee.net/microhacking/

I love @alifeee 's #Sheffield events bot (@events) - it's genuinely how I find stuff to do with the kids in town.

Leveraging #ActivityBot and some selector-heavy scraping. #FrontEndSheff

Thu (26th Mar): Spaces available for '#Microhacking the modern web' w\ regular attendees @alifeee & @neilzilla

Slides from @kitation 's fabulous #FrontEndSheff gaming Vs #a11y talk last week are now available here: https://fantastic-cat.static.domains/plateauofwebaccessibility-link

Even though #WCAG AAA isn't always imperative, it's full of goodies - like timing related issues - which are still of great benefit to some of your users (*whispers* and I suppose may bring some conversion rate wins, fellow savage capitalists)

Impromptu pokemans example ties this into games - @kitation @ #FrontEndSheff #a11y

If you see one talk that bridges the worlds of #accessibility compliance & video games this year, make it this one on Thursday 26th from @kitation

🎟️ https://www.meetup.com/front-end-sheffield/events/312926848/

Also, we'll be giving an overview of what's coming up @ #FrontEndSheff in 2026.

Free tickets still available for our #a11y-focused first event of 2026 on February 26th: 🎟️ https://www.meetup.com/front-end-sheffield/events/312926848/

@kitation will use video games as a comparator to look at how we can introduce fresh ideas into our work, now that the compliance-lead approach sometimes feels as if it has run out of steam.
#FrontEndSheff #Meetup #Sheffield

In our first meetup of 2026 @kitation will leverage their record of focusing on real #a11y issues and examine how web compliance works.

👾 Using video games as a comparator, we'll explore alternative approaches to accessibility & how we can introduce fresh ideas into our work
