I do not enjoy seeing ignoramuses’ several-paragraph-long rants about “tankies” when checking the front page. Ideally, it would be possible to disable only that type of tagline, while leaving other taglines be.
I don’t know if other people have already proposed this — I can’t imagine I’m alone in feeling this way, but I also can’t easily find anyone else who’s made this suggestion.
Hugely important for site accessibility.
I mean, personally I love it when I pull up a website on my phone and have to scroll through two full screen lengths of irrelevant rambling before getting to the thing I want.
I’m sure screen reader users love it too! That’s why Timecube was a beloved example of a highly accessible website, broadly cited by web designers as how to make your content usable and accessible, right?
Hexbears once again attacking the wrong thing (taglines) instead of the real space real-estate eater (pinned posts)
I just collapse the pinned megas when I don’t want to see them, and honestly if that was possible with a long tagline as well I’d be super happy to do so. Idk if that’s possible, but I think I just stumbled into a very centrist solution
For screen readers it is possible to make entire elements automatically hidden/skipped or to label the tagline as a labelled group that is easy to move past (or drill down if you want to read it).
Consistency between exoeriences (screen reader vs not) is very important, so I would suggest doing the latter (skippable but present labelled tagline) or removing it altogether / moving it to a footer.
There is ARIA, which allows you to mark stuff, one of which is to skip (if I remember correctly. Tbh, I haven’t used aria)
Yeah aria provides a lot of tools. And role attributes are even better when appropriate.
