Accessible web without hassle (using libraries and tooling)

💬 Crafting accessible webpages can be challenging, but choosing the right libraries and tools can simplify the process. What essential knowledge is crucial? What can third-party libraries solve for you? And which tools can streamline your workflow, saving you hours of effort? Join Tomáš Řezáč as he addresses these questions, showcases the tools he uses, and introduces his own contributions to accessibility tools.

🎤 Jakub Zíka, Android Developer at Ciklum
Mobile apps for everyone

💬 There are apps for everything, but are they for everyone as well?
Does your custom component convey the same information visually as it does through the accessibility service? Let's delve into identifying weak points in your apps using standard Android development tools and evaluating the results.
