  <p><em>This blog post was written as part of this month’s IndieWeb carnival, <a href="https://blog.basementcommunity.com/accessibility-in-the-personal-web/">hosted by orchids on the theme of Accessibility in the small web</a>. It was written during the Brighton IndieWebCamp: I’m attending remotely, but having the livestream on makes me feel like I’m sitting with all these productive and likeable people and gives me all the inspiration I need to write!</em></p>
 <p>I’m a boring person. Sorry! I use the Internet in light mode because dark mode gives me headaches, and I send most of the text that I read to my e-reader so I won’t have to stare at my screen (or sit at my desk), I read everything I can from my perfectly-customized RSS reader, and when I see a website with flashing lights or very bright colours, I admire it for a few seconds and then move it to reading mode so I can read bare text.</p>
 <p>The yesterweb is all about making pretty websites like the ones we had in simpler times. And as much as I love it in principle, I often have a pretty bad time reading it, which is unfortunate. So I end up favouring the incredibly bland and boring black-on-white (or, in my case, dark grey on light green, because I’m so special) websites over the ones that truly bring me joy.</p>

 <h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="A_few_recommendations_for_small_web_friends"></span>A few recommendations for small web friends<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2>
 <p>(The web is small, not the friends.)</p>
 <p>In order of what should be easiest to implement:</p>
 <ul>
 <li>Make your links big: never link on a single word (especially not « here » or another short word), try to link groups of words or even full sentences. It’s easier for Team Big Thumbs, and more readable.
 <ul>
 <li>Side note: Don’t use « Click here » at all actually. When you link to something, tell us where we’ll end up − what’s the title of the page? What’s the general theme?</li>
 </ul>
 </li>
 <li>When you use hashtags, use camelCase, capitalizing the first letter of each word. It makes it much more readable than a letter salad.</li>
 <li>Make sure you have an RSS feed, which allows us to read from a platform that we’ve configured to meet our personal needs.</li>
 <li>Check contrast on your colours, to make sure they’re easily readable. I really like <a href="https://xandra.cc/">Xandra’s approach on her homepage</a>, as she has some low-contrast options that she thinks look nicer (maybe they do! i can’t read them!) but makes them more readable on hover and uses them reasonably. It’s a good compromise, in my opinion!</li>
 <li>Please, I beg you, make your website responsive. Listen, I know it’s not fun, and I too dislike mobile views, but when we zoom in on your text, it’s important that we can still read it.</li>
 <li>Remember alternative text on images. (Honestly, while I think this is really important, it has also driven me to post more text and fewer images, altogether, because it requires some effort.)</li>
 </ul>
 <h2><span class="ez-toc-section" id="What_next"></span>What next?<span class="ez-toc-section-end"></span></h2>
 <p>How do we make the small web fun and pretty, while keeping it nice to read for our headache-prone comrades?<br>
 I don’t know. But this is a start, and everything has to start somewhere, right?</p>
 <p>What I try to keep in mind is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curb_cut_effect">curb cut effect</a>, also known as the « i want subtitles on my favourite show because even though my ears are just fine, i like to eat crisps while watching » rule. In many cases, adding accessibility to your website makes it nicer for everyone, not only for the people who needed these changes. (Corollary: everything that makes you squint is giving a giant migraine to someone else out there.)</p>
 <p>I don’t know much about accessibility and only write about what makes reading on a screen more tolerable for me. I’ll never <em>enjoy</em> reading text on a computer anyway, and there are many people with much more pressing and well-defined needs than me: I encourage you to educate yourself to accessibility, it’s an actually fun and interesting topic and brings real value to many, many people.</p>

  <p>There’s a lot we took for granted with the web. It enables us to do so much, and then we promptly forget it whenever “easier” ways come along: Apps, web apps, web services.</p>
 <p><a href="https://lmnt.me/blog/make-a-damn-website.html">I’ve talked about this before.</a></p>
 <p>I don’t have a LinkedIn account. I don’t like the idea that we both <strong>need</strong> an account. I need one to <strong>post</strong> my résumé, and you need one to <strong>view</strong> it. How does that benefit me to have my résumé behind a login wall? It doesn’t. It benefits LinkedIn. Now, <a href="https://lmnt.me/intro/work-history/">my résumé</a> is on my website, displayed more beautifully than LinkedIn lets me.</p>
 <p>Dribbble went from a screenshot-sharing network to a formalized portfolio website. And when it did, it started <strong>paywalling</strong> our portfolios. We didn’t make the money, Dribbble did. It doesn’t benefit me to put my portfolio behind a paywall. So now, <a href="https://lmnt.me/intro/portfolio/">my portfolio</a> is on my website, once again, displayed more thoroughly than they allowed. And without comments, because I don’t want criticism on finished work for a client. That doesn’t help anyone.</p>
 <p>When Medium came along, and then Substack, people quickly flocked to them for how easy it was to write, publish, and send newsletters. But I gotta tell you: it’s not difficult for me to publish <a href="https://lmnt.me/blog/">my blog</a> and have an <a href="https://lmnt.me/feed.xml">RSS feed</a>. So that’s what I do now too. And in doing so, I avoid the heartache of having to <strong>claw away</strong> from Substack when they reveal themselves to support Nazis.</p>
 <p>Every new thing that I add to my website works to regain my internet presence <strong>away</strong> from companies that <strong>do not</strong> have my interests at heart. And I will avoid future problems like a company deciding to put login walls or paywalls in front of my content. Or putting Nazi content beside mine. I can avoid all of that by self-publishing.</p>
 <p>It’s worth thinking about not just how <strong>little</strong> effort it takes to get started with an app, web app, or web service. But how <strong>much</strong> effort it always takes for you to migrate elsewhere when it turns out to be shittier than they originally advertised.</p>
 <p>Be independent. We can build things on the web without them. <strong>Better</strong> things.</p>
