As you know, browsers and screen readers receive updates frequently. That's why it's important that you reevaluate the best practices you've been following for years every now and then and check if they still apply. Often, things that were true 5 years ago aren't true today.

"gemini create a page that includes XY"
-> done!
"is it WCAG 2.2 AA compatible?"
-> yes, but there are some best practices I could apply
-> done! (a bit too much but ok)
"add a non-modal dialog that includes XY"
-> adds modal, but replaces the existing content with a comment.

I'm unimpressed.

For an article, I'm using LLMs for coding for the first time. I can already say that LLMs are better at writing HTML than the average developer.

I want to test something. Which AI tool would I use to find accessibility issues? In code but also on the rendered website in the browser?

@maarteuh yes!

When you don't put `aria-hidden="true"` on decorative SVGs, they'll be announced by some screen readers.
