I like video content and articles. Depends on the topic or my mode of thinking at the time. You're written stuff is great!

If you're going to make some videos, it would be cool (and meta) to explore how video and audio can be more accessible on the web.

Ooh yes I like that idea - and I think there is a lot to be said about it!

I think my main driver for considering translating some stuff to video (other than seeing some people seem to engage with video content) is being able to show recordings of screen reader usage/keyboard navigation etc. But there are other ways this could be done like smaller embedded videos πŸ€”

I’ve experimented with adding small embedded videos that work quite well (around 10 - 20 seconds).

I think it would be great to show screen reader etc. It’s something that can be communicated over video much more easily and is more engaging like you said. Go for it!
