オフィスオートメーションという言葉が出てきて久しいですが、実際のところ多くの企業ではいまだに手作業で行われている業務が山積みです。RPA(Robotic Process Automation)やローコードツールの普及により状況は改善されつつあるものの、真の意味での「誰でも使える自動化」にはまだ遠い印象があります。
Microsoft Entra ID ではアプリの検証の仕組みとして「確認済み発行元(Verified Publisher)」の仕組みがあります。しかし、これはあくまで発行元のアイデンティティを確認しているだけであり、アプリケーションが安全であることを保証するものではありません。確認済み発行元のアプリでも過剰な権限を要求したり、データを適切に保護しない可能性があります。また、一部の発行元はパブリッシャー検証を経ていないものの、組織内では必要なアプリであるケースもあり、一律のブロックだけでは運用上の課題が生じます。
Let’s do some links to accessibility information I’ve saved, recently read, and thought were useful and insightful.
Accessibility vs emojis by Camryn Manker — It’s not that emojis are inaccessible, it’s that they can be annoying because of their abruptness and verbosity. If you’re writing text to be consumed by unknown people, be sparing, only additive, and use them at the end of text.
Vision Pro, rabbit r1, LAMs, and accessibility by David Luhr — It’s around the one year anniversary of Apple’s Vision Pro release, so I wonder if any of these issues David brought up have been addressed. Seems like the very low color contrast issues would be low hanging fruit for a team that cared about this. I can’t justify the $3,500 to check.
Thoughts on embedding alternative text metadata into images by Eric Bailey — Why don’t we just bake alt text right into image formats? I’ve never actually heard that idea before but Eric sees it come up regularly. It’s a decent idea that solves some problems, and unfortunately creates others.
Considerations for making a tree view component accessible by Eric Bailey — Eric is at GitHub and helps ship important accessibility updates to a very important product in the developer world. There is a lot to consider with the tree view UI discussed here, which feels like an honest reflection of real-world accessibility work. I particularly liked how it was modeled after a tree view in Windows, since that represents the bulk of users and usage of an already very familiar UI.
On disabled and aria-disabled attributes by Kitty Giraudel — These HTML attributes are not the same. The former literally disables an element from functionality to the look, the later implies the element is disabled to assistive technology.
Beautiful focus outlines by Thomas Günther — I love the sentiment that accessibility work doesn’t have to be bland or hostile to good design. A focus outline is a great opportunity to do something outstandingly aesthetic, beyond defaults, and be helping make UI’s more accessible.
Blind SVG by Marco Salsiccia — “This website is a reconstruction of a published Google Doc that was initially built to help teach blind and low-vision folks how to code their own graphics with SVG.”
